Vatican says Irish gay marriage vote a "defeat for humanity"
Quote:
A senior Vatican official has attacked the legalisation of gay marriage in Ireland. The referendum that overwhelmingly backed marriage equality last weekend was a “defeat for humanity”, he claimed.
“I was deeply saddened by the result,” Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s secretary of state, said at a conference in Rome on Tuesday night. “The church must take account of this reality, but in the sense that it must strengthen its commitment to evangelisation. I think that you cannot just talk of a defeat for Christian principles, but of a defeat for humanity.”
This isn't thread-worthy. Just ignore them like 99% of the people in the world do. There's 7 billion people on this planet, there's going to be a few who disagree with everything, no matter what. No point in panicking about it all the time.
