NOT a headline from The Onion. Source.

Pope Francis today “overhauled” the criminal code at Vatican City and NOW the possession of child pornography will send you to Vatican prison, whatever that is. The legislation covers clergy and lay people who live and work in Vatican City and is different from the canon law, which covers the universal Catholic Church. The bulk of the Vatican’s penal code …

“Let’s face it: Anthony Kennedy and his activist cronies on the Supreme Court are itching to redefine marriage and impose same-sex ‘marriage’ on an unwilling nation. Justice Scalia has warned us clearly in his dissent that the only thing that will stop Kennedy and crew is their own sense of what they can get away with. The most direct and …

Today the Vatican released an 82-page document co-written by Pope Francis and former Pope Benedict in which the pair says that marriage is only blah blah blah. Francis paid tribute to pope emeritus Benedict XVI in the encyclical, saying that the ex-pontiff had “almost completed” the text before stepping down in a historic resignation this year and that he himself …

“In the American language you have a distinction between the word ‘homosexual’ and ‘gay’. A homosexual is a person who has, to some extent, this homosexual condition. Somebody may have this difficulty, and his friends, his neighbors will not know about this. He’s dealing with this in cooperation with the grace of God and may come out of this difficulty …

“As we celebrate Independence Day, we’re reminded of how richly blessed America has been. We’re a republic founded on the principles of religious liberty, freedom and democracy, endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights. We’re a nation where citizen rights come from God, not from government, and where the people are sovereign, not politicians or judges. “But those principles are …

Just posted by Brian Brown: Despite issuing two terrible decisions on marriage, the US Supreme Court stopped short of fabricating a “right” to redefine marriage in our Constitution, allowing individual states to settle the question. And today, Indiana has that chance! Governor Pence has called upon the legislature to take up the second vote needed to put marriage before the …

“If you think that things couldn’t get much worse out of Washington, imagine what it would be like with Kamala Harris as US Attorney General or, God forbid, a member of the US Supreme Court. What would she do with the power of those two offices when we’ve already seen her utterly abandon her sworn oath of office, willingly manipulate …

It’s not happening in a million years, but the dough WILL roll in. Screencap by former NOM employee Louis Marinelli.

Italian police are investigating claims that a former policeman visited the area around a bar named Twink (seriously) to recruit rentboys for Catholic priests assigned to churches across Rome. Don Patrizio Poggi, 46, told Italian authorities that a former Carabinieri pimped boys for nine clergymen. Poggi, who served a five-year sentence for abusing teenage boys while he was a parish …

“I am furious about what the Court has done. We at NOM and tens of millions of other Americans will never accept it. It’s wrong, plain and simple. There’s a stench to these decisions that has stained the Supreme Court. Will you show your outrage at the Court and make a special contribution to allow NOM to coalesce Americans behind …

“It is clear Senator Murkowski has fallen for the lies of same-sex ‘marriage’ activists. Religious freedom is deeply threatened wherever marriage is redefined, with the majority of states that have redefined marriage offering little more than fig leaf religious freedom protections to institutions and individuals who believe in marriage as the unique union of one man and one woman. NOM …

If you’re having a hard time finding anti-gay graphics, NOM has created a Pinterest page.

The Italian press has supposedly uncovered a hook-up site for gay priests.  The Catholic website Gloria is outraged. The Homo Sensitive Priestly Society — Venerabilis in English — claims to be a loose association of gay and homophile Catholic priests. The website serves as a gay dating site, so that aberrosexual priests can find contact among themselves, or homosexual laity …

“I have many questions for and about the ‘gay lobby’ in the Vatican, but I’ll start with this: How can you be so spectacularly ineffective? You wouldn’t last a minute on K Street; the Karl Roves of the capital would have you for lunch. Despite your presence in, and presumed influence on, the upper reaches of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, …

In a speech that the Associated Press is characterizing as “diplomatically wading into the gay marriage issue,” today Pope Francis notably did not explicitly denounce same-sex unions when speaking about family values with the Archbishop of Canterbury. Francis, who vigorously opposed gay marriage in his native Argentina, and Archbishop Justin Welby chatted, prayed and had lunch together at the Vatican …

Pope Francis has confirmed the presence of a “gay lobby” in the Vatican. Back in February Italian media claimed that a secret report by cardinals investigating the leaks included allegations of corruption and blackmail attempts against gay Vatican clergymen, and on the other hand, favouritism based on gay relationships.”In the Curia, there are truly some saints, but there is also …

“Let’s get real and stop the charade about what a ‘social welfare’ organization is. Last year, internal National Organization for Marriage (NOM) strategy documents were leaked, stating that the organization seeks ‘to drive a wedge between gays and blacks’ by promoting “African American spokespeople for marriage,’ thus provoking same-sex marriage supporters into ‘denouncing these spokesmen and women as bigots,’ and …

Not that NOM doesn’t have a spectacular track record of outrageous lies, but surely Eastman realizes that somebody in the mainstream media will fact check him on this one.
