Speaking of take-no-prisoner addresses, Pope Nosferatu Benedict spent the morning offering one of his own:
Pope Benedict, in his first clear pronouncement on gay marriages since his election, on Monday condemned same-sex unions as fake and expressions of "anarchic freedom" that threatened the future of the family.
The Pope, who was elected in April, also condemned divorce, artificial birth control, trial marriages and free-style unions, saying all of these practices were dangerous for the family.
"Today's various forms of dissolution of marriage, free unions, trial marriages as well as the pseudo-matrimonies between people of the same sex are instead expressions of anarchic freedom which falsely tries to pass itself off as the true liberation of man," he said.
Huh. Well he certainly covered his bases with that one. Pope Benedict: He's may be no Nazi, but he's one hell of a reactionary.
