Cardinal criticizes Mexico's high court for upholding law allowing gay marriages in capital

| Associated PressMEXICO CITY (AP) — Cardinal Norberto Rivera sharply criticized Mexico's Supreme Court on Sunday for upholding a law allowing homosexuals to marry in the capital, calling the ruling "aberrant" and "immoral."
The Roman Catholic archbishop said it was wrong to go against Christian doctrine that recognizes only marriages between a man and a woman.
"The church cannot fail to call evil evil," Rivera said in a statement.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court on an 8-2 vote upheld the constitutionality of gay marriages in Mexico City under a law passed by the state legislature. The federal government had sought to nullify the law.
The Federal District is the only part of Mexico that allows gay marriages. The city government said last week that since 320 same-sex couples had married since March, 173 of them male and 147 female.
Rivera said homosexuals have suffered abuses from the broader society, but argued that allowing same-sex marriages is not the way to try to atone for such injustices.
He called same-sex unions "inherently immoral," saying they "distort the nature of marriage raised by Christ to the dignity of a sacrament."

I find it rather hypocritical to condemn same sex marriage, while the Roman Catholic Church continues to protect Pedophile Priests. I don't think many people would disagree with the "Cardinal" if he condemned his fellow clergy for their aberrant and immoral behavior. He could also address the atrocities committed by the Roman Catholic Church during World War II; the church allowed Hitler to use the Vatican bank to lauder the Jewish people's valuables. The Cardinal could also address the Roman Catholic Church's direct involvement in the Canadian Holocaust. Well, I guess you get the picture.

I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THE FACT THAT I KNOW MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH THAT ARE GOOD PEOPLE. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IS NOT ALONE WHEN IT COMES TO IMMORAL AND ABERRANT BEHAVIOR.
