I couldn’t decide which category to put this under — ‘Politics’ or ‘Philosophy and Religion,’ because it could be placed under either.
Anyhow, the Pope has put out his stance on gay marriage and many other related issues. The article doesn’t go into much detail on the basis of Benedict’s argument, but the last paragraph mentions that he calls such things symptoms of the “banalization of the human body.” I quite agree with that, and I wish the news outlets would provide the full story instead of just the “inflammatory” bit about the Pope condemning something that only a small percentage of people (in America, at any rate) support.
