Sex Ed Needed
Archbishop Angelo Bagnasco of Genoa, the head of Italy’s bishops’ conference, was under police guard after “Shame on you Bagnasco” was spray-painted on the doors of his Cathedral of San Lorenzo over his comparison of gay rights to incest and pedophilia. The archbishop has been vocal in the Vatican’s campaign against a bill in the Italian Parliament that would grant rights to unmarried couples, including gay people. Last week, the bishops’ conference issued a directive ordering Catholic lawmakers to vote against the bill.
It seems to me Archbishop Bagnasco could use a little sex education, if he thinks gay rights equals incest and pedophilia. As a starter, he should walk over and visit fellow cleric, Rev. Marciel Maciel Degollado, founder of the doctrinally conservative Legionnaires of Christ. Fr. Marciel can tell him all about pedophilia and male rape.
