Gay Rights and Roman Catholics


I disagree with Pope Benedict and the church on the subject of gay rights.

I feel that if you love someone then you should be able to be with them no matter what. I am a Christian Catholic so this totally goes against my religion. Yet, this is probably the only thing I disagree with that has to do with my religion. Pope Benedict made a comment at a speech in Rome in front of 34 Welsh and English bishops gathered in Rome. He said, “Your country is well-known for its firm commitment to equality of opportunity for all members of society.
“Yet, as you have rightly pointed out, the effect of some of the legislation designed to achieve this goal has been to impose unjust limitations on the freedom of religious communities to act in accordance with their beliefs.” Basically the Pope is saying we should live and love according to our beliefs. I can see where he is coming from but still, I disagree. Sometimes I feel that my religion can be a bit harsh and/or strict on how we should live our lives. I just think we need to be more open and be less judgmental as Catholics.
