		<description>Oh my God!  If homosexual behavior is immoral, then joining the Army is immoral!

I&#039;m gay, and I joined the Army, which means that homosexual behavior is joining the Amry!

It also means that programming is immoral, and driving a truck is immoral, and listening to music is immoral.

I also go to church, so guess what!  It;s immoral!</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;That is your problem, Juan. You are all about extremes. Your are either one or the other. To you, something is either all good or all good. You do not take into account human frailties and mistakes. Comment by Exley â€” March 15, 2007 @ 6:10 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Funny, you say Juan, but describe yourself and the rest of your *moralizing* right wing Nuttery.

You&#039;re a dum bass Exley.  And you should apologize for your lies and mistreatment of Hillary now.  I told you that her statement was simply saying people should make up their own minds - and didn&#039;t state anything about her personal feelings.  But, NOoohhh, you had to *claim* she thought it was immoral.

Now you look like the st*pid smearing swiftboating liar we all know you to be!  How&#039;s that for &quot;good and evil&quot; - dumbass!</description>

		<description>How can one be for Free speech and yet demand Pace be removed?  How can you be for free speech and not defend Pace&#039;s right to free speech?  Is free speech only allowed if we agree with what was said?

I think we should allow homosexuals in the military personally.  I also think we should allow Americans the right of free speech.  In this case, we have Pace who said homosexual acts are immoral and thus shouldn&#039;t be allowed in the military.  Military law says homosexuals shouldn&#039;t be allowed in the military.  So lets get this straight.  We have a man voicing an opinion that he is agrees with the rule of law and that isn&#039;t ok?  Is it ok to say murder is wrong because its immoral?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;You do not take into account human frailties and mistakes.
Comment by Exley&lt;/em&gt;

If those were rare mistakes, I could agree with you. But as an institution (really a corporation whose product is Jesus), the Church seeks profit. In history, those systematic mistakes have always found priests and religious leaders in a wealthy and powerful position. You cant dispute that. Now, Im not saying anything about faith which is entirely a different thing. I have a problem with dogmas. You were told Jesus died for your and mine sins...and they tell you this when you are a kid!!!! This is incredible!! 


I know there are some important groups (Jesuites, for example) that have made and make great contribution as social care, alphabetization, health education in indigenous regions, etc. Although I dont agree with their beliefs I think they make a difference towards a better world. Just like the Cuban doctors that go to the poorest countries and help people without asking anything in return, but I am sure you wont talk about this.</description>

		<description>#67, Juan....I do not deny that the Church has not always done right in Latin America and elsewhere. While divinely-inspired, the Church is governed by humans and, accordingly, has made terrible mistakes over the years.

But it also has done tremendous good. As I said, it is the largest private charitable organization on the planet today.

That is your problem, Juan. You are all about extremes. Your are either one or the other. To you, something is either all good or all good. You do not take into account human frailties and mistakes.</description>

		<description>Their is one solution to all this conflict over Homosexuality....TIME.
  The younger a person is, the less likely they are to have a problem with Homosexuality.  Hopefully homophobia will follow slavery and racial bigotry into the dust bin of history.</description>

&lt;em&gt;The Vatican Bank was Banco Ambrosiano&#039;s main share-holder. Paul Marcinkus, head of the Vatican Bank from 1971 to 1989, was indicted in Italy in 1982 as an accessory in the $3.5 billion collapse of Banco Ambrosiano, one of the major post-war financial scandals. Banco Ambrosiano was accused of money laundering activities for the mafia and Propaganda Due (aka &quot;P2&quot;), an outlawed masonic lodge, led by neofascist Licio Gelli. P2 and its headmaster Licio Gelli worked with Gladio, the secret NATO anticommunist paramilitary organizations. Marcinkus never came to trial in Italy, where courts ruled that as a Vatican employee he was immune from prosecution. He lived in retirement in Sun City, Arizona (US) until his death on February 21, 2006.

The Vatican Bank refused to admit legal responsibility for the Ambrosiano&#039;s downfall but did acknowledge &quot;moral involvement&quot;, and paid $241m (Â£169m) to creditors. As of 2006, investigations are continuing concerning the murder of Ambrosiano&#039;s chairman, Roberto Calvi, which, according to Ernest Backes, former #3 of Clearstream, may have been linked to the death of GÃ©rard Soisson, who used to work for Clearstream, a &quot;bank of banks&quot; which practices financial clearing.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

Did I just SEAL that poor barber&#039;s fate?)  THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS THE IMMORAL ONE, NOT HOMOSEXUALITY!!!!!</description>
