<title>Slog - Comments on Gay Marriage: Who You Gonna Believe?</title>
<link>http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/04/gay_marriage_who_you_gonna_believe</link>
<description>Your gay son/nephew/cousin/brother/friend and his boyfriend? Or the child-raping freaks at Child Rape Inc.? The Vatican&apos;s second-highest ranking doctrinal official on Monday forcefully branded homosexual marriage an evil and denounced abortion and euthanasia as forms of &quot;terrorism with a human face.&quot; The attack by Archbishop Angelo Amato, secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, was the latest in a string of speeches made by either Pope Benedict or other Vatican officials as Italy considers giving more rights to gays....</description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Ah yes--gay marriage, abortion and euthanasia.  And a cold Bud to wash 'em all back with.</p>

<p>Not a peep about state-sponsored execution, unjust war or economic disparity.  The Zombie Jesus weeps.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Our new name - SHINY DIEMOND</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>We've decided not to post anymore comments - Starting Now. Any names that are coopted are false impressions. I feel stupid for saying that, because for the most part we assume pretty much that slog readers follow blog etiquette.</p>

<p>Megan's enthusiasm has kickstarted us to stridently proceed with our plans for a neorock fanzine tour. In the next month we will be focusing our efforts toward booking summer dates in Europe.</p>

<p>Thanks to the Stranger for enabling this  free speech forum for alot of us Seattlites.</p>

<p>We doubt that the Vatican will play a part in our tour. We don't care all that much. We follow laws, wherever the chips may fall. However, we DO LIVE outside the constructs of the powers that be. In fact, what the Vatican is saying resonates just as a weird opinion to us, sort of like the sad opinions and topics by the Stranger NEWSTEAM.</p>

<p>It's been fun. Reading is one our greatest joys, and we may pop in to look the slog over, but we've made a casual commitment to stay away from its addictive qualities. </p>

<p>Sincerely,<br />
Congrats<br />

<description><![CDATA[<p>Um, Boomer and Dave, check this out: </p>

<p><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6536773.stm" rel="nofollow">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6536773.stm</a></p>

<p>(There was a link at the bottom of the page!! See, that isn't so hard to find!)</p>

<p>Just because Dan Savage decides to post a news story on the Vatican's condemnation of homosexuality (as questionable as it may be), that doesn't mean that these are the only issues that Benedict and Co. are getting behind. The abortion/gay Vatican opinions are in the news more often simply because they're more controversial and less common: everyone and his mom has already taken a turn at criticizing Bush and Iraq. </p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Offensive Dan</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p> This little scum bag who says he is pope is lower than parasites who feed on the scum at the bottom of a septic tank. (no offense to parasites) <br />
 If that little nazi moron wants to talk about terorism how about terrorizing innocent children with their tales of a fiction called "hell"  If his fucking deity is boorish enough to create such a place then I refuse to worship such a creature. I deny his "god" . I encourage all to do so.</p>]]></description>
