Polish priest wants “faggots” burned at the stake
Father Raphael Trytek of Krakow, Poland told reporters at a gay rights protest that “faggots” should be burned at the stake.
The reporter asks why the priest uses the word “faggot” rather than “gay,” and he says “‘Gay’ suggests something positive while it is very negative, therefore the word “faggot” is very appropriate.” (translated)
He goes on the say that homosexuality is a choice and a disease and that homosexuals should be burned at the stake.

From the Vatican: Homosexuality causes pedophilia
In response to the latest slew of pedophilia charges towards the Catholic Church, the Vatican’s number two in command suggests the incidents are linked to homosexuality rather than celibacy.
The Associated Press reports Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone’s rather unsettling comments during a press conference in Chile.
“Many psychologists and psychiatrists have demonstrated that there is no relation between celibacy and pedophilia. But many others have demonstrated, I have been told recently, that there is a relation between homosexuality and pedophilia. That is true,” said Bertone. “That is the problem.”
Chile recently became a hotbed of accusations against the Catholic Church. At least one of the priests, however, is accused of targeting young girls. A teenaged girl has even become pregnant.
