February 12, 2016.......Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church issued a joint statement on Friday denouncing same-sex marriage and expressing their “regret” that opposite-sex marriage is “being banished from the public conscience.”.....The two leaders issued the statement after a historic meeting in Cuba, marking the first time leaders from the Catholic and Orthodox churches have met in nearly 1,000 years. Pope Francis and Russian Orthodox Patriarch Attack Gay Marriage in Joint Statement - VIDEO - Towleroad

I predicted last year or so that the Pope would come to the US and hold a vigil to protect traditional marriage. That happened last year. But the media blacked out/talked over/ panned away from his vigil in Philly where he showed film clips of traditional marrieds and his stance against non-traditional (gay) 'marriage'..

So the Pope instead of dancing around the topic, just joined for the first time in over a 1,000 years, the Russian Orthodox Church to make a public statement about it:

********* Joint declaration of Pope Francis, Patriarch Kirill
It is with joy that we have met like brothers in the Christian faith who encounter one another "to speak face to face" from heart to heart, to discuss the mutual relations between the Churches, the crucial problems of our faithful, and the outlook for the progress of human civilization....

...The powerful religious potential of Latin America, its centuries–old Christian tradition, grounded in the personal experience of millions of people, are the pledge of a great future for this region.

By meeting far from the longstanding disputes of the "Old World" we experience with a particular sense of urgency the need for the shared labor of Catholics and Orthodox, who are called, with gentleness and respect, to give an explanation to the world of the hope in us...

..In a world which yearns not only for our words but also for tangible gestures, may this meeting be a sign of hope for all people of goodwill....

...we are concerned about the situation in many countries in which Christians are increasingly confronted by restrictions to religious freedom, to the right to witness to one’s convictions and to live in conformity with them. In particular, we observe that the transformation of some countries into secularized societies, estranged from all reference to God and to His truth, constitutes a grave threat to religious freedom. It is a source of concern for us that there is a current curtailment of the rights of Christians, if not their outright discrimination, when certain political forces, guided by an often very aggressive secularist ideology, seek to relegate them to the margins of public life....

...The family is the natural center of human life and society. We are concerned about the crisis in the family in many countries. Orthodox and Catholics share the same conception of the family, and are called to witness that it is a path of holiness, testifying to the faithfulness of the spouses in their mutual interaction, to their openness to the procreation and rearing of their children, to solidarity between the generations and to respect for the weakest....

...The family is based on marriage, an act of freely given and faithful love between a man and a woman. It is love that seals their union and teaches them to accept one another as a gift. Marriage is a school of love and faithfulness. We regret that other forms of cohabitation have been placed on the same level as this union, while the concept, consecrated in the biblical tradition, of paternity and maternity as the distinct vocation of man and woman in marriage is being banished from the public conscience. "

Now if I were a candidate like Hillary or Sanders or Trump who are either outright or covertly supportive of or consider gay marriage "beautiful", I'd start to work feverishly on a PR-spin to my Catholic Hispanic base. Put it in overdrive maybe?

You know about Hillary's "evolution" on gay marriage, she's deep in that saddle... but were you aware of Trump's friend George Takai's revelations about Trump's stance on it?

Obviously no one listens to the communist Pope of Rome. He should stay out of our politics and mind his own business. He's a mess.

Gay marriage isn't a politics, but obviously a spiritiual question. All who believe in God hate these "marriages"
Ha! Don't you wish. Sure, it isn't political how the majority in states voted down gay marriage and had it forced on them by 5 secular power mongers...and had a Christian jailed by secular police for failing to properly bow at the New Rainbow Altar and abdicate her former faith doing so...

Did you forget Kim Davis? Not political? My ass..
 
If you aren't a Catholic, it doesn't matter what the Pope thinks. The Catholic Church has proven to be one of the most evil institutions ever created by mankind. Just go and research the bloody history of the Catholic Church. It rarely has followed the teachings of Jesus Christ.
 
Not political...in an election year when all candidates are begging for the Catholic/Hispanic vote? Sure...distance the Hispanics from your campaign and see how "not political" this issue is..
 
Your own pope protects paedophile rapists - homosexual cardinals, bishops and priests. He's harboring one right now behind Vatican walls that should be in a secular prison right now. Tell him to stay out of our politics. He needs to stay out of America completely. He has no business here.

The Catholic church is all but dead now. Most of the members left are elderly. They had to keep the cameras away from the actual group that showed up to greet Jorge Begoglio (going by Francis now) when he arrived in the USA. There was a very small group. VERY SMALL. Looked like a Hillary campaign event. DEAD.
 
From rampant Pedophilia to centuries of horrific massacres, the Catholic Church is in no position to preach to anyone on the teachings of Jesus Christ. It lost that right a very long time ago.

You're so right, Paulitician. Thank you for stating the obvious. Some folks need a history lesson on the Romanists. It's the most corrupt organization on earth today.

It is amusing that Silhouette cites her own threads.

Amusing in a sick way.

If our Latino American voters do care about the issue, certainly they can vote for Cruz or Rubio- but there is a catch.

Most of our Latino-American community is from Mexico and Central America- and Cubans have traditionally despised those Latino's- and vice versa.

Another day- another Silhouette 'hate the gays' thread

Any god that "hates" is no god of mine. This is the reason I find it very difficult to believe in something that on one hand promotes love and peace, while at the same time condemning anyone who does not believe as supported by "The Church" to damnation.

God hates one thing, Auditor. God hates sin.
Get on board with God on that and you're on your way.

:lmao:What a damned liar you are..

Tell that to all the little Hispanic girls and boys who are all attending Mass & catechism regularly in churches across the nation. That group that showed up to greet the Pope was MASSIVE:

This is the crowd viewing the Pope at Philly. Look at all those "elderly" faces right up at the front of the crowd...

ever heard of photo shopped pictures? You're looking at one.
There was a poor turnout. They blamed it on the weather.
It rained almost the entire time he was here. God wasn't in his visit here.
That is plain to see.
