I can't say I didn't see this one coming: Reuters today reports that Pope Benedict XVI has condemned gay marriage, divorce, artificial birth control, trial marriages and free-style unions, saying "all of these practices were dangerous for the family." Yeah...this sounds like the type of guy I want to invite to a party. Can I make an official condemnation of dogma, ignorance and repression citing that these practices are dangerous for the human spirit and psyche, or do I have to put on that stupid little hat first?
