Paul,

"Issy, who ever said a pedophile could not be homosexual. Although among the most notorious Catholic pedophile clergy there is no evidence that any were in consenting adult homosexual relationships, they were simply child molesters"

What's adult got to do with it?
Sexual actions between those of the same sex, consenting or not, are homosexual by definition.

Just out of curiosity, why do you always mention the Catholics?
Were there no others who transgressed in that manner?

We have known all along the SSM was a Marxist agenda. https://www.marxismconference.org/speakers/roz-ward/

Josephus,

So, apparently unable to respond to anything I said, you instead deflect by switching to a completely different subject (Do you understand what it means to ‘deflect’ now, ALTRAV?). What has transgenderism got to do with marriage?

But since you raised the issue, I would suggest you first learn the difference between sex and gender. Biological sexes are two main categories into which sexual, living organisms are divided based on the sexual function of an individual's physical body. Genders, on the other hand, are social constructs based on the two main categories of biological sex.

It’s always entertaining to see you more conservative folk get your panties in a bunch over the concept of gender fluidity, purely as a result of your own ignorance. It’s no wonder you lot believe the world has gone troppo when you think children are being taught that their biological sex is fluid, and that they can change it simply by believing they are a different sex to what they actually are.

You guys crack me up.

<<Marriage is clearly an exclusive sexual contract!>>

No, it's not. What about 'open' marriages? What about asexual couples who never engage in sexual activity? Marriage is about a lot more that just sex. Marriage is whatever society deems it to be. You are in no position to tell the rest of us what it is and what it is not, and I find it very arrogant of you to assume that you are.

Josephus, well spoken. I agree with you completely. Sadly I don't have the linguistic ability you do, so I struggle at making my points clear, as MR Phillips continually persists in reminding me.

So it is with some pleasure to see that someone has put him back in his box so we can go on discussing and debating without the consistent and annoying nit picking and point scoring.

Good for you, keep it up.

Is Mise,

This is the link given to you earlier on

There's also plenty more links on the web.

Well, that was an unfortunate cross-over of posts there, ALTRAV. Right after I explained why Josephus’s comments are ignorant. I'm embarrassed for you.

By the way, I do not insist on reminding you how inarticulate you are. You are the one who carries on about that the most.
