Pope Francis will open the ‘Complementary of Man and Woman’
conference on November 17, which brings together religious leaders from
across different faiths who oppose same-sex marriage.
As well as representatives from the Catholic Church and other forms
of Christianity, speakers from 23 countries will purportedly represent
the views of Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Taoism and
Sikhism.
Representatives from the US Southern Baptist Convention and from the
Mormon church – both of which fiercely oppose same-sex marriage – are
slated to attend, as part of a united front against marriage equality.
According to organizers, the conference will “examine and propose
anew the beauty of the relationship between the man and the woman, in
order to support and reinvigorate marriage and family life for the
flourishing of human society”.
The move comes after the Church scrapped plans to become more
welcoming to gays, opting instead to keep current teaching that
homosexuality is “intrinsically disordered”.
Cardinal Gerhard Müller – who strongly opposes relaxing the Catholic
Church’s attitudes towards gay people – drove the initiative, according
to the Catholic News Agency, and will make the opening remarks.
I certainly hope this, once and for all, puts to bed the notion that this Pope is gay friendly...if anything, he's even worse than the other one, far more insidious and intrinsically more devious and vile.
