post What Was I'd like to write on the site of ; Italy’s national gay rights organisation about the horrible words that cardinal Bertone, Vatican's second-highest authority, said about the suppost relationship between omosexuality and paedophilia.
For who doesn't know, cardinal Bertone said that ''many psychologists and psychiatrists have demonstrated that there is no relation between celibacy and paedophilia. But many others have demonstrated, I have been told recently, that there is a relation between homosexuality and paedophilia”.
I have no words to comment the words of this man, a man who is supposed to preach love and tolerance.
I leave you with the first part of an article from www.arcigay.it

The equation between homosexuality and paedophilia is a false, despicable and anti-scientific statement that affects the lives and dignity of millions of gay and lesbian people. It confirms the cynicism and cruelty of the Vatican hierarchies , which have covered sex crimes committed by members of the church for years throughout the world against thousands of innocent boys and girls.
Of those brutally raped bodies, of those destroyed childhoods, the Catholic church bears a full and shameful responsibility . It will not be by trying to divert the attention from its glaring contradictions and its inner conspiracy of silence that the Vatican will escape a firm sentence for its sexual abuses, which have already been widely reported worldwide against paedophile priests.
"We are outraged by Bertone’s words in Chile: the Catholic church must not attempt to get rid of its sins to the detriment of innocent people . It should rather wonder about its lack of humanity" - said Paolo Patanè, Chairman of Arcigay, the Italian Lesbian and Gay Association.
