Pope Francis Calls Surrogate Motherhood ‘Deplorable,’ Calls for Global Ban

The Catholic leader’s stance on surrogacy is likely to roil the LGBT community, of which many members have relied on the practice to have their own children.

Yes, I know BGOL is full of virulent atheists but let's just look at it from a Catholic standpoint.

Pope Francis gives the OK for priests to unofficially bless same-sex couples, does Francis really think these unions are going to be celibate and not want to raise children? Sex outside of marriage is a sin in Catholic doctrine and since gay people can't get married, they are encouraged to be celibate.

Francis just opened a door for same-sex couples and thus gay sex because for many gay Catholic couples, this WILL be treated as a "marriage" and these couples will have sex and will want to raise children and since the same gender can not reproduce, apart from adoption, surrogacy is a widely used option for gay couples to have children.

You can't close the door on surrogacy while seemingly opening the door on gay marriage with the allowance of priests to unofficially bless same-sex couples. It doesn't add up.

Fuck them Catholics as much hidden devilment that they've done and still doing,whatever.

I ain't for or against nothing but the nerve of the Pimp I mean the Pope to say anything is just asinine.

Religion: if you fall for that you'll fall for anything.

Oh well, not my problem. Anyway, the most catholics in the world are in spanish-speaking countries IIRC. Them motherfuckers ain't gonna stop making babies no matter which way.

My post was criticizing Francis for his seeming enforcement of some rules of Catholicism and relaxation of others. If you want to rant about your distaste for religion, that's fine but that's not what my original post was about.

I am not religious person, but sometimes I agree with him but this time I strongly disagree with him on this point. This was a little interesting to bring up in the first place makes me wonder.
