Irish gay marriage vote 'defeat for humanity', Vatican official says rlbible.com/?p=11291
Excerpt: The Irish vote to allow same-sex marriage was a defeat for humanity", a senior Vatican official has said in the first high-level reaction from the Holy See to last week's landmark referendum.
My comments: In this, I am in general agreement with the Vatican official. It is not sin to be tempted by a desire to steal — it is a sin to give in to the temptation to steal; it is not a sin to be tempted by a desire to commit fornication — it is sin to give into that desire; it is not a sin to be tempted by a desire to lie — it is a sin to give in to that desire. Likewise, it is not a sin to be tempted by same sex desires; it is a sin to give in to those desires.
