Pope Benedict: Gay Marriage Threatens the ‘Future of Humanity Itself’

Pope Benedict: Gay Marriage Threatens the Future of Humanity Itself

Pope Benedict XVI has a warning for all mankind: Gay marriage is one of a number of threats to the family unit that holds the potential to undermine “the future of humanity itself.” This warning, which is sure to cause angst and pain among those who disagree with its sentiment, comes as other Catholic figures are using strong language to condemn pro-same-sex marriage policies.

During an address to diplomats from nearly 180 nations, the pope discussed the importance of education and the need to reinforce the traditional man and wife paradigm. According to the Daily Mail, these were some of the pope’s strongest comments yet about gay marriage, as he said that the family unit is necessary to sustain both education and development.

Pope Benedict: Gay Marriage Threatens the Future of Humanity Itself

“This is not a simple social convention, but rather the fundamental cell of every society,” he said. “Consequently, policies which undermine the family threaten human dignity and the future of humanity itself. The family unit is fundamental for the educational process and for the development both of individuals and states.”

Benedict went on to call for policies that promote the family. While these statements are bold, the pope isn’t the only Catholic leader speaking out against gay marriage. El Pais is reporting that Demetrio Fernández, the Bishop of Córdoba (Spain), recently claimed that UNESCO has crafted an elaborate program that will make half of the world’s population gay in the next 20 years. Fernández‘s comments came during a sermon he delivered on Spain’s Boxing Day, a holiday held on December 26.

“The Minister for Family of the Papal Government, Cardinal Antonelli, told me a few days ago in Zaragoza that UNESCO has a program for the next 20 years to make half the world population homosexual,” Fernández is quoted as saying. “To do this they have distinct programs, and will continue to implant the ideology that is already present in our schools.”

And while railing against the pro-choice and same-sex marriage policies of Spain’s previous Socialist Party-led government, Madrid Archbishop Antonio Rouco Varela reportedly claimed that abortion and euthanasia constitute a bigger crisis in Spain than the economy and politics.

“The family is under attack in Spain,” Varela maintained, also stating that ”Life is a sacred right that humans have been given by God.”

      @ SOUTHSIDELIB: “Of course there is. In the case of children they cannot cosent. Two adults can.”

      According to whom? The notion that “children cannot consent” is defined by law, and laws are made by Man; thus, laws can be changed. TODAY children cannot consent, but what if enough liberals rose up crying for the “right” to give children the power of legal consent. Suddenly, it would be okay! Some liberals have no idea what trouble they are creating for this world, while other liberals fully understand it and delight in the evil they do.

      @ Todd P
      Good point. The level of intelligence required for “consent” is very low. I bet most 8 year olds have the mental capacity that is required of adults who want to marry. If you want to distinguish between 8 year old chilren and 18 year olds based upon emotional maturity, then I bet you could find 8 year olds who are a lot more emotionally mature than some 18 year olds. Even if you allow distinctions based upon age alone to proscribe marriage (as it is now, and as I agree there should be), then the “consenting adults” touchstone still allows a whole slew of arrangements that those pushing homosexual “marriage” are uncomfortable considering: polygamy, polyandry, “complex” marriage, siblings marrying each other, etc.

    Homosexuality is a threat to humanity biologically when it comes down to it for those who do not believe in God. You cannot physically reproduce. Homosexuality is a threat to humanity biologically and morally to those that do believe in God. The fact is that procreation cannot occur. A generation will not be created or grow to care for the aging one. We will feel this effect eventually in the U.S. as Europe is feeling it now. They are not reproducing and it is blamed on abortion and contraception. The U.S. is in the same boat and there will not be enough people to serve and defend the nation and people to work and pay for the exploding costs that will come about to care for the baby boomers and eventually Gen X and Y or MIllenials. The Pope is correct. Being Catholic, I was taught to be kind to all, but I see the plain facts of what is and the calculated risks of a growing militant homosexual agenda. I don‘t get into people’s business gay or not, but I do not want the gay agenda forcing itself on the next already heavily burdened generation of kids. It’s wrong and unjust and in to some pure evil. However, nothing surprises me much these days,but, next I’ll be waiting for the poor gays to be pitted against the wealthy ones because only the wealthy ones will be able to hire surrogates, artificial insemination, or adopt kids from foreign countries. I just wish Jesus would return ASAP. Repent now people.

      Being Catholic, do you also support the one world gov’t and monetary system that the Pope and Vatican clergy support? I know Catholic people very well. My grandparents are Catholic and my mother was raised Catholic. After realizing that Catholicism is really just another form of gov‘t within gov’t and that the Pope has continually played both sides of war for centuries now, I see nothing good in your denomination of the Christian faith. I sincerely believe that people who believe in a one world gov’t, no matter how admirable their goals in doing so, will inevitably go to Hell. I always heard that the path to Hell is paved with good intentions, and I believe that is so. It was “good intentions” that caused Nazi Germany to murder millions. It was “good intentions” that allowed communism and fascism to murder tens of millions in Europe and Asia. And it is “good intentions” that continues to push the idea that our planet’s human population must be reduced by 95% in accordance with the historical average human population level.

      Please explain how allowing gays to marry will reduce the population. If they are not married they will not procreate, if they are not married they may not procreate. Although, if indeed you are procreation and the younger generation caring for the older – gay married couples may actually increase procreation. A gay male couple and a gay female couple often are willing to surrogate children for each couple. Not allowing these gays (as they will still be gay regardless) to marry may give them the sense of stability to desire to have a child.

      @SGTB, actually that Vatican Loony Social Justice Committee is where they station the nutjobs. It has no authority and does not speak for or represent any official church teaching. The Catholic church is at a tipping point. If this pope does not purge every socialist and communist from the clergy, I fear it will diminish in moral authority until it no longer exists. Most faithful (I mean those of us who adhere to the sacraments like attending mass on sundays, going to confession, etc…) Catholics are opposed to the loonies who push an amnesty agenda for Mexicans and other Catholics, more social justice (meaning socialism), and other crass stupidity which makes the Church appear as though it is nothing more than a social welfare agency.

      Only the pope speaking ex cathedra has the authority to articulate doctrine for this church, not any comunist biships and they know it. May they rot in Hell for confusing so many.

      I’m not sure what your denomination is, but I’m not a perfect Christian or even a good Catholic. I do not believe in a one world government and any thinking Catholic will resist. The Popes throughout history have been corrupt and sinned greatly. My Papa was John Paul II. I grew up with him and loved him very much. He was the first Polish Pope and lived in WWII Poland. He helped many Jews escape and protected them from the Gestapo. He practiced his faith, while some Catholic parishes helped the Nazis escape to South America.
      The Pope is a man of God, but he’s human. Every bit corruptable is he so chooses. But so are Presidents, Prime Ministers, Kings, and people of every faith on earth. If anything, the Pope is trying to get the population to grow. No abortion. No contraception. Maybe in your mind, it’s simply more Catholic drones for the NWO. Maybe you need to go back to mass and listen. I don;t like social justice, so I know what to listen for in mass. I listen and focus on Christ and ask for his help in the psycho world where the devil walks day and night. We kneel before Jesus say some Our Father’s,Hail Mary’s, we cross ourselves, and take the eucharist. Look, Catholics have already ran the world for a while,and it didn’t take. Yeah, we’re a threat. You need to be more concerned about the faithless and even the Islamists. I certainly won‘t be chopping heads off if you don’t want to believe in Jesus. I cannot say the same for a regular old Jihadist,

      The human species is not in danger of dying out due to underpopulation. Whether they are allowed to marry or not, gays will still pursue homosexual relationships which won’t result in procreation unless they are actively persecuted and forced to pretend to be straight. I hope you are not for that, it would be evil not just because it is cruel to the gays, but because it also ruins the lives of the spouses they are forced to deceive.

      Gay people should not marry straight people and ruin the life of their spouse, I don’t believe in persecuting anyone, gay or straight, or forcing gay people to do anything, but more and more Christians are persecuted for their beliefs everyday. Jews and Christians are PERSECUTED daily. Rarely reported. A hate crime against a gay man occurs and the liberal media is hoping like hell that it happens in flyover country. And it will be reported for months and followed up year after year if it suits them. But really, who persecuting who? Get rid of the Christians. Make fun of them. Make them look like crazy Jesus freaks at every opportunity, sue to remove Merry Christmas signs, sue to remove their nativity scenes, burn their churches down in Nigeria, make the Pope look like a power crazed relic, make the pro-life movement look psycho, and then the road will be wide open to do whatever we want and how we want it.Everyone will be faithless and listen only to the government. That is the liberal agenda and they will use whatever tools are at their disposal. People don‘t have to worry about the Pope in Vatican City whose only job is pray for everyone’s souls. People need to be concerned with the degenerate we have sitting at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. He‘s a strict follower of Obamaism and I don’t know how he feels about homosexuals.It looked to me like he screwed them in the last election. No gay marriage act has occured, so I guess he screwed everyone thus far.

      You’re comparing apples and oranges. Nobody reports persecution of gays that consists only in ridiculing or belittling them, nor are there violent hate crimes against Christias in America going unreported. And none of this has anything to do with my main point – that people who don’t procreate because they are gay won’t procreate whether they are allowed to marry or merely live together in less formal arrangements, so gay marriage is irrelevant to whether homosexuality is really a significant factor in reduced population growth,

      I know it’s politically incorrect to admit it, but there are some frightenly stupid comments here.
      There is no such thing as encouraging homosexuality. Whether you persecute us or don’t, our numbers don’t change, just our visibility.
      And God doesn’t get nearly as upset by illegal immigration as the rightwingnuts do.
      The existence of gay people has not done anything to reduce population growth. 6.8 billion earthlings would argue otherwise. Allowing gay people to marry will never cause straight people to have fewer children. Straight people like having sex, procreative or not. That won’t change. Some people may choose to use birth control; the existence of homosexuality does not enter into that decision.
      Communist governments are more intolerant of homosexuality that democratic ones.
      Polygamy has nothing to do with gay marriage. Even so, it‘s quite possible that God doesn’t send Mormons or members of polyamist societies to hell for this “sin”. We may form opinions, based on our interpretation of translatons of ancient mideast texts. But we don’t Know.

      You’re correct. Gay marriage will not not change the numbers. But it is relevant.If you cannot see the bias in themedia by now, you must be new at this. I’ve been watching since my eyes were opened way back in 1992. But it’s ok, the gay movement has plenty of support, so I‘m sure they’ll get what they want someday soon and everything will be A-ok. They’re halfway there with help from the MSM, which will continually push the gay rights agenda. Remember this story?
      “Media outlets have praised the students of a Florida high school for selecting a cross-dressing teenage boy as their prom queen.”
      Oh, there are so many more similar to this. I think we Christians aren’t going to have much a say or voice in this country much longer depending on this next election.

      The media supporting some kind of gay agenda isn’t the main reason most people now accept homosexuality as normal. The real reason is that just about everybody in America has at least one gay cousin. As long as they had to let people pretend that it was just one strange cousin who didn’t do well with the opposite sex or wasn’t much interested in sex it seemed okay to be part of the oppression of what we pretended was a really tiny minority, but as soon as you admit that it affects somebody you know, there is a limit to how much nonsense about them the average person is willing to listen to and repeat without feeling guilty about it.

      While the pushing of homosexuality by the public and gov’t can and should be seen in that way, there is still a group of people who are gay whether or not anyone coerced them to be. There are far stranger things that happen in this world than someone finding the same sex attractive. Such things include giants, people covered entirely in long hair, pinheads (clinical, not O’reilly), siamese twins, and hermaphrodites.

      Of course, the correct solution for all of these situations is to get gov‘t out of personal life and people’s business. Marriage should be governed not by the state, but by one’s religious affiliation. How do you think the state is going to handle it when a set of conjoined twins marries not one man, but two? Will they see it as bigamy? Better yet, will they be bigamist even if they only marry one man? Two wives and one husband? The state cannot and should not be in charge of deciding the intricacies of personal behavior.

      Our nation would be a thousand times better if we nullified the govt’s ability to infringe upon our personal lives in all matters and manners of things.

Weakening this natural and fundamental institution of marriage can only weaken the human condition in virtually all respects.

      In the early times in the bible, men had multiple wives. It was not one man, one woman. Your attempt to define marriage is not historically accurate. Fact is most men today could not handle multiple wives, lots of men apparently can’t handle one, just look at the divorce rate. If you want to be biblical, any of you out there that have divorced and remarried are adulterers. It says so in the new testament. So quit throwing stones and stirring up trouble, we are ALL sinners.

      The Globalist Eugenicist Technocrats are threatening the entire human race, by putting synthetic estrogen (Bisphenol A) into our food containers and other products. If I want to be female, I’ll get a doctor to do it. I don’t want to be forced.

      They’re also threatening the human race by fluoridating our water (rat poison) which messes with your biological clock regulated by melatonin produced by the pineal gland which is receptive to blue light (ultraviolet radiation), causing hormonal changes which cause early puberty, the result of which is reduced lifespan.

      They’re domesticating us like dogs and if we allow them to continue, we will have the lifespan of a dog and be a separate species from the globalist eugenicist technocrats who are reserving all the life-extension technologies for themselves.

      FYI: AIDS was not the original name for the disease. It was called GRID (gay-related immunodeficiency disease) before the medical community was intimidated by threats (typical) into changing it from the rightful dishonor of the deviant behavior that spread it.

      Homosexuals are less than 1% of the population.

      This 1% has appx. 80% of the nation’s GRIDs and 64% of the syphilis.

      Lesbians on average have 4 times the number of male partners and are twice as likely to have an STD as normal women.

      Homos and lesbians have the highest suicide rates in the nation.

      Many Homos suffer from ‘gay’ bowel syndrome – just the act of what they do causes numerous physical problems.

      Sexual deviants have a much higher alcohol and drug abuse rates.

      Every nation in the history of the world that has allowed homosexuality to infect their society has fallen within two generations.

      No nation of civilization has allowed or embraced homosexuality on the way to the top, it is always on the way to the bottom and near their destruction that homosexuality becomes allowed and common.

      Or it was changed because, you know, it’s not a gay-only disease (as it was later proved; the condition came from HIV, not exclusively gay sex as first postulated). Male-on-male contacts makes up 53% of new cases in the US; which means 47% of new cases are not from gays. Calling it GRID is both incorrect in medical jargon and inaccurate in identifying the cause of the disease.

    Actual quote:
    “Consequently, policies which undermine the family threaten human dignity and the future of humanity itself. The family unit is fundamental for the educational process and for the development both of individuals and States; hence there is a need for policies which promote the family and aid social cohesion and dialogue.”

    What is not mentioned here is also fundamental. The Catholic Church is not only against gay marriage: they are against divorce. The concept does not exist in the Catholic church; the closest is annulment of a marriage (which can functionally be the same thing, but is very much discouraged).

    The biggest threat to the family unit has always been and will always be divorce. Gays can’t even be married in the Catholic church, so the pope doesn’t seem to have a legal to stand on here; he‘s simply reiterating the church’s stance that they won’t ever be accepted by the Holy See.

      The Pope’s point is more secular than religious. There is only one union in nature that produces offspring for the continuation of the human species. That makes this union, and only this union, special. Other attractions and unions, be they between same sex individuals of the same species, or between individuals of different species, or even inanimate objects, are unnecessary, unneeded and irrelevant to society. Thus, governments have no obligation or responsibility, to promote, protect, or legitimize any of the other unions outside of the one between a man and a woman.

      “Thus, governments have no obligation or responsibility, to promote, protect, or legitimize any of the other unions outside of the one between a man and a woman.”

      Governments have no obligation or responsibility to promote, protect, or legitimize -any- marriage. Whatever they decide to support is their own choice, and doesn’t need to follow religious instruction or “natural law” or anything. Following your logic, there would be no need to have marriage between two infertile people, for example. Nor among senior citizens.

      However, even if the US government would allow gay marriage, it changes absolutely nothing in the Catholic church. They wouldn’t be forced to marry people; they can still deny ceremonies to gays, and they can still forbid divorces to any married Catholic couple. Again, the pope is just reiterating the Catholic church’s stance: it’s not ok to be gay, and they won’t ever be married in the church, even if they can marry in their country of residence.

      @The_Jerk

      “Governments have an obligation to promote and protect any and all behaviors that have a beneficial effect for society.”

      I disagree. Governments are obligated only to follow the details of their own legal founding (in this case, the Constitution and the subsequent laws established by the governing body of the nation). They need rely on no religion or creed unless explicitly mentioned in their founding articles. In the US, that means that States can decide on any rights they desire, while the law of the land (DOMA) means the federal government will bestow recognition and rights only on male-female couples.

      The Constitution makes no mention of marriage itself. Due to the 10th amendment, that leaves it up the states to decide who can can and cannot be married. Federal benefits alone can be determined by the fed, of course, but marriage licenses are on a state-by-state basis using whatever criteria the states decide upon. Ability to procreate is usually (universally, in the US) not one of the conditions needed. As you’re saying that ability is the basis for marriage, would you deny marriage rights to elderly or infertile male-female couples?

      Second, we the people make our laws under the protection of the constitution. It is true that, constitutionally speaking, we could promote, protect, and legitimize the union of a woman and her horse, but that has no benefit to our society… even though constitutionally legitimate. The woman could make the argument that she has a right to her aberrant union, but the state has no obligation to agree.

      I’m sorry if you thought me obfuscating, and if you weren’t using religion to justify marriage; I’ll admit, that‘s the standard tact here on The Blaze and the one I’m most used to seeing. However, I still do not see the obligation of the state to support the one-man, one-woman marriage model exclusively (or any model of marriage; I’m of the libertarian camp, where marriage is, and should be, left up to the states). Again, nowhere in the Constitution is marriage defined, or any rights granted to the federal government over the states. Short of an amendment interjecting marriage into the Constitution, I don’t see a solid ground for forcing a definition.

      “The woman could make the argument that she has a right to her aberrant union, but the state has no obligation to agree.”

      Of course not. Same as one could make the argument that they have a right to a heterosexual marriage, but the state has no obligation to agree. In the same way, a person could make the argument that a state’s law allowing gay marriage should NOT be a right, but the state has no obligation to agree.

      Democritus was one of the first natural philosophers, which were also known as scientists back when say classical liberal meant something entirely different. He had a positive impact on Aristotle (Democritus’ ideas of causality specifically), helping to pave the way for Aristotle’s becoming the father of science and discovering logic. He was one of the first supporters of the idea of the atom… of traveling to study… on the idea that the universe was ever expanding… that proper science requires a proper metaphysics and correspondingly that philosophy needs a proper epistemology… he was basically the guy that pissed of Plato who came up with his crackpot ideas and kick started an argument long ago… one current incarnation you see today is between democrats (who view words as malleable, living, breathing – very platonic) and republicans (well the constitutionalists at least who view words as concrete, definite and logical – aristotelian/democritus ideal).
