The Archibishop of Guam reacted to proposed legislation there which recognizes domestic partnerships for gays with a public letter expressing his opposition. Fine. He has that right.
But notice this last paragraph:
Islamic fundamentalists clearly understand the damage that homosexual behavior inflicts on a culture. This is why they repress such behavior by death … It may be brutal at times, but any culture that is able to produce wave after wave of suicide bombers…is a culture that at least knows how to value self sacrifice.
Or maybe the sectarian Islamic states are today a culture more successful at brainwashing people than Christianity has been in the secular West. After all, back in the days when the Catholic Church ruled from the Urals to the Atlantic, from the Mediterranean to the North Sea, Pope Urban had no difficulty mobilizing armies when he promised immediate transit to Heaven for those who died in combat.
