Rather than clean its own house and turn those who enabled the rape of countless children and youths over to the authorities, the Catholic Church hierarchy continues to engage in anti-gay bigotry and the condemnation of in vitro fertilization. The latter actions demonstrating that the Church with its anti-birth control mantra prefers that individuals be forced to parent children they never wanted while those who want children never have them. It's more of what I view as the Church's increasingly ass backwards reasoning that derives in no small part from the power and control crazed senile [and bitter] old queens at the Vatican and throughout the Church hierarchy. The first dose of batshitery comes from the Vatican reaction to the award of the Nobel prize for medicine to British doctor Robert G. Edwards for his work on in vitro fertilization. The bitch queens say the award is inappropriate. What's inappropriate is that anyone in the right mind continues to listen to the Vatican on any issue. The second dose is in the form of Twin Cities Archbishop John C. Nienstedt's refusal to give communion to gay Catholics. Here are highlights from CNN on the Vatican's tantrum over the Nobel prize award to Dr. Edwards:
*
An official with the Vatican criticized the decision to award the Nobel prize for medicine to British doctor Robert G. Edwards for his work on in vitro fertilization, Italy's official news agency ANSA reported Tuesday.
*
Ignazio Carrasco de Paula, president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, said giving the award to Edwards was "completely inappropriate," according to the news agency. He said Edwards' work had created a market for human eggs and created problems of embryos being frozen, the news agency said.
*
His work has led to the birth of about four million babies, the committee said in praising his work. The prize is worth 10 million Swedish kronor (about $1.5 million). Born in Manchester, England, in 1925, Edwards is based at Cambridge University in England.
*
As for the Twin Cities' archbishop's latest actions - which follow his endorsement of an anti-gay DVD distribution effort - here are highlights from the Star Tribune:
*
Twin Cities Archbishop John C. Nienstedt, leading a student mass at St. John's Abbey recently, refused to give communion to members of a gay and lesbian college student group who were wearing rainbow buttons in a sign of solidarity.
*
The conflict between the archbishop and students from the Roman Catholic St. John's University and the College of St. Benedict occurred during Sunday night
*
The action came as Catholics throughout Minnesota have been sent hundreds of thousands of DVDs from the state's bishops in support of a ban on gay marriage.
