So I think I cracked the code as to why the vatican is so against gay sex

[Clintonista2]

Gay couples can't produce children together. And we know what the vatican needs children for...

But seriously, it's all about procreation. This is despite the fact that sexual minorities can procreate without sexual intercourse.

4. They don't recognize that there is such a thing as a person who is gay.

They think that gay sex is just one more kind of sex outside of heterosexual marriage, which is the only non-sinful sex in their minds.

13. Sex inside of marriage

is sinful too if children are prevented, as in using birth control.

[ZeitgeistObserver]

5. They are against gay sex for other people.

But since they won't be procreating themselves anyway, they don't object to gay sex among the clergy. They have lots of gay relationships there.

[pnwmom]

6. They still consider it a sin, even when they do it.

But they don't consider themselves to be exempt from sin.

[ZeitgeistObserver]

8. They say they do, and people believe them.

But they also say that being celibate doesn't mean to be without sex, just without marriage.

[pnwmom]

9. I've never heard that definition of celibacy. n/t

[Dorian Gray]

14. That is untrue.

Celibacy involves sexuality and marriage. Because priests have betrayed their celibacy vows does not change the meaning of the word.

7. Same reason they're against contraception. nt

How do you think the Vatican amassed its wealth?
