In a book of interviews published Saturday, December 1 in Italy, the pontiff is said « worried » about the number of priests and gay religious. « In our societies, it even seems that homosexuality is fashionable and this mentality, in a way, also affects the life of the Church, » said the Argentine religious, explaining that the issue worries him .
The Pope, since his election at the head of the Vatican and the Catholic Church, makes us experience a roller coaster of emotions when he deals with the issue of homosexuals, declaring one day that we must respect them and welcome them to the within the Church, while another day, he is worried and treats the homosexual orientation of « fashion ». If he asks so many questions, it is because he has not yet understood exactly what is happening both in his church and in today’s society.
What is the difference between sexual orientation and fashion? According to the Quebec Commission on Human Rights and Youth Rights, sexual orientation refers to people’s ability to feel emotionally, emotionally and sexually attracted to individuals of the opposite sex, of the same sex, or of more than one person. a sex. For example, a person may be heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual. Sexual orientation is a prohibited ground of discrimination and harassment. This means that you can not be treated differently because you are heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual. Likewise, you can not be the target of offensive or repetitive comments or behavior because of your actual or perceived sexual orientation.
By continually targeting homosexuals for their

Nothing can be done. By doing so, the Pope is violating the Quebec Charter of Rights and Freedoms, in article 10, which prohibits any distinction between people based on sexual orientation, but hey, we will still not judge him until in Rome !!!
According to Wikipédia, a fashion is a temporary tendency in references or collective behavior, specific to a given period and linked to a phenomenon of imitation. Modes can exist in various fields, including artistic ones. According to the leader of the Catholic Church, therefore, being heterosexual would be a temporary phenomenon, a phenomenon of imitation linked to a given period?
It’s okay, bin! Because according to Dominique Grimaud-Hervé, professor in the Department of Prehistory of the National Museum of Natural History of Paris, the human has reproduced heterosexually for at least 2.8 million years. Talk about a fashion or transitory phenomenon is ridiculous you will agree! What perhaps the Vatican leader is trying to say is that, more and more, sexual orientations are expressed in our societies because they are protected in their diversity and the people are just flourishing as they are. One thing is certain, homos have always been fashionable, but that’s another subject …
