A case of creating your own belief and then trying to support it, never mind about bending the truth. The Pope was clear about his opinion. Now everybody is rushing to ‘damage control’ by speaking for him. If he was misquoted or misinterpreted he would have said it. Roland.

Re: [Goanet] Catholic Church OK’s Gay Unions
Foolish me, here was I thinking the Catholic Church would want what the pope wants. Maybe god should send an amendment like a change to a constitution or something: This is Peter (the Rock) upon which I shall build my church until the day comes when the church and the rock don’t have to act as one.
