Homosexual Advocacy Group Criticizes New Pope
** (CNSNews.com) - ** Not everyone had words of praise for the selection of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as the new pope.
A homosexual advocacy group expressed “concern” that Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, “does not present a hopeful vision of the future or inspire optimism for affirming language, policies or outreach.”
Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) noted that Ratzinger “authored a Vatican document condemning marriage and adoption by gay men and lesbians in July 2003.”
The Washington Blade described the document as a “battle plan for Catholic politicians.” According to PLFAG, the document calls on the Catholic Church to “reject gay and lesbian families on the basis of ‘basic values.’”
