Not that he was planning to attend, but Barack Obama should know that my sister's inauguration night party -- the one for which she was preparing Obama Punch -- has been canceled. The notice went out over the weekend, by e-mail and word of mouth, that Obama's choice of Rick Warren to give the inaugural invocation had simply ruined the party. Warren is anti-gay, and my sister, not to put too fine a point on it, is not. She's gay.You always hurt the ones you love.
Pope Benedict piled on to their pain with his comments today:
Pope Benedict XVI has said the world needs to be saved from homosexual or transsexual behavior.All Obama needs to do now is invite the Pope to the inauguration and heads will explode worldwide.
He said the issue was just as important as saving the rainforest from destruction.
The pope said: 'The tropical forests do deserve our protection. But man, as a creature, does not deserve any less.'
In a pre-Christmas speech to Catholics, he reiterated the Catholic Church teaching that homosexuality is not sinful but homosexual acts are.
He compared behaviour beyond traditional heterosexual relations as 'a destruction of God's work'.
