So to be clear, according to the Catholic church it's ok for men to bugger choirboys, just do long as they don't marry them.

They really should direct their ire at the straight people who keep making gay babies.

I do think it is weird.
If it is because of the biblical passages, then why ignore the others? Why don't they condone killing children for being disrespectful, etc?
If it is because families should have a mum and a dad, and for making babies, then do they disagree with sterile adults marrying?
They just like to interfere. Nothing more, nothing less.

They are just looking out for us. Priests know from experience that gay sex is much more exciting if you keep it as "our little secret"

Yet more nonsense from delusional nut jobs.
If they or any other cult wish to tell their members, that they shouldn’t do something, fine. It is after all part of their cult . . . however to try and impose their ideas onto people who don’t share their iron age belief system should be outlawed, as it has no place in any progressive and arguably enlightened society.

When have they ever said that groping a choir boy is OK? Marriage is intended, by their rules which perfectly reasonably apply to marriages performed in their churches, to be between men and women. Assuming that you don't have a problem with your freedom of speech, and you doing what you want on your own property, why do you have a problem with him saying he doesn't want gays getting married in his church?

You mean there was no cover up so as to keep their 'reputation'? They may not think it was "OK", but their response to the abuse was atrocious.

It is the churches prerogative to decide who does or doesn’t get married in their churches, in the same way that they can tell their subordinates in their cult, what they should or should not do . . . . . .however when we have people like this sitting in the House of Lords, then the subject becomes a little less clear cut and a tad morally offensive

Isnt that why Registry offices exist? So you can dispense with the Religous stuff and just get the job done? Go to a registry office end of problem!
