Feb. 23, 2005 – Pope Calls Same-Sex Marriage ‘Evil’

“Homosexual marriages are part of ‘a new ideology of evil’ that is insidiously threatening society, Pope John Paul says in his newly published book… In one section about the role of lawmakers, the Pope takes another swipe at gay marriages when he refers to ‘pressures’ on the European Parliament to allow them.

‘It is legitimate and necessary to ask oneself if this is not perhaps part of a new ideology of evil, perhaps more insidious and hidden, which attempts to pit human rights against the family and against man,’ he writes.”
