Related: About this forumPope suggests French lawmakers ‘repeal’ gay marriage law
http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/pope-suggests-french-lawmakers-%E2%80%98repeal%E2%80%99-gay-marriage-law160613Speaking to a delegation of French politicians and representatives at the Vatican yesterday, Pope Francis called France a nation to which the eyes of the world often turn, pointing to the controversial Marriage for All Bill that split the country into in an unprecedented show of public discord between gay marriage opponents and supporters.
According to a Vatican statement, the Pope said to the delegation, whose arrival coincided with Romes annual gay pride parade: Your task, technically and legally, is certainly to propose, amend or even repeal legislation.'
The pontiff also said it was necessary for the parliamentarians to inject their spirit, a soul that doesnt reflect the fashions and ideas of the moment, but gives them the essential quality that elevates and ennobles the human person.

the power trips Catholic priests can put on young boys.
Maybe France can suggest that the Pope go back to actually making a difference in the world by helping the poor in South America.
