PhoboQuotable - Msgr. Charles Pope

"Many today advocate homosexual acts as normal even though any study of the design of the human body will indicate that man is not for man, or woman for woman. Rather, man is for woman, and woman for man. In Romans 1:27 St. Paul calls homosexual acts παρὰ φύσιν (para physin), 'contrary to nature.'

"The latest rejection of nature is the declaration of Florida’s 3rd District Court of Appeal that 'gay people and heterosexuals make equally good parents.' It is odd that Mother Nature never got the memo from the Florida Court for she apparently thinks it is best for a child to have a (female) mother and (male) father.

"In her plan, Mother Nature never made the two daddies, or two mommies option equally available through something like parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction). Mother Nature in her backward and primitive notions only allows for natural conception to occur between heterosexuals. But the Florida Court of Appeals has now rescued us from the backward notions of Mother Nature." - Catholic Archdiocese of Washington's Monsignor Charles Pope, responding to FL Gov. Charlie Crist's declaration that he will not appeal the overturn of the ban on gay adoption.
