Via WGB: Vatican Reportedly Irked by LGBT Guest List at Pope’s White House Ceremony
"Several guests invited to the White House for the welcoming ceremony
for Pope Francis are reportedly troubling the Vatican including openly
gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, Mateo Williamson, is a former
co-leader of Dignity USA Transgender Caucus, and Sister Simone Campbell,
the pro-choice nun who is executive director of NETWORK, a 44-year-old
national social justice lobbying group. Williamson is the guest of
Vivian Taylor, a trans woman who formerly served as executive director
of Integrity USA, an Episcopal LBGT advocacy group.The WSJ reports:
According to a senior Vatican official, the Holy See worries that any photos of the pope with these guests at the White House welcoming ceremony next Wednesday could be interpreted as an endorsement of their activities.
The tension exemplifies concerns among conservative Catholics, including many bishops, that the White House will use the pope’s visit to play down its differences with church leaders on such contentious issues as same-sex marriage and the contraception mandate in the health care law."

“Para que possamos salvar o planeta, o consumo compulsivo precisa dar lugar ao consumo responsável. E isso só é possível se o ser humano se libertar da carência afetiva que cria a necessidade de agregar valor à falsa ideia de eu. A carência é a maior doença do ser humano. Ela nos faz acreditar que, através do acúmulo de bens materiais, seremos felizes.”
