Santo Domingo.- Dominican Republic’s Catholic cardinal affirmed Wednesday that he’ll oppose “until death” same sex marriages, gays in the military and abortion, comparing them with the crime and drug trafficking he said are challenges society must face.

“We disagree with homosexuals in the Armed Forces. Once a colonel starts flirting with a general the line of command is finished," said Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez.

“All this morass throughout the world of homosexuality, to attack the family and marriages, that’s disorder, and by all means the issue of abortion,” the prelate said.

Comedians

The Santo Domingo Archbishop also called the international organizations “good for nothing comedians” who “scheme” a macabre plan to exterminate humanity.

“God forbid that what’s being plotted in the world, through congresses and parliaments by nongovernment institutions, which is a perverse, macabre and insolent plan, God forbid its materialization, because the intention is to end with, to erase all of what’s the Judea-Christian tradition from the map, because what they seek is to pervert, damage and corrupt everything,” the Cardinal said.

I like the hat Cardinal Nicky wears, that is why he thinks he is Napoleon sometimes. lol.
Yes, what about the pedophiles priests, why don't we stone them too, or maybe make a pyre for them, and throw a match. Yesterday he mentioned them "as in the world", but not in DR. What a character!

The nice thing is that while many of us don't support his views, we all have the opportunity to support him and his band of molestors. Why did the government give so many shares of the Santiago Airport to these do gooders (that is of course, when they are not doing bad things).

Yes Dread but about 17 years ago they did own a large share of a condom factory in Canada. Maybe they sold all their shares on the news about what they were doing in the pursuit of $$$$

what is the value of a company?
Can you put a prize on the value of the employees of a company?
Isn't that what we like to call "GOODWILL"?

Now think about a country as a corporation, if you were to value it's people as goodwill, wouldn't you want to procreate?

Now, what's the benefit of same sex marriage to a country?

Don't you want to see good kids being born which a great mayority could become doctors, teachers, meaning better assets to the country.

Again, what is the benefit of same sex marriage to a country...

Hey hat guy:

Complain about this:

El juez de Atención Permanente del Distrito Nacional impuso presentación periódica ante el Ministerio Público durante seis meses a la pareja de esposos chinos acusados de agresión física y verbal contra la jueza coordinadora de los Juzgados de la Instrucción, Rosalba Garib.

La sentencia dictada por el juez Alejandro Vargas también establece que el oriental Wei Con Ho asista al Centro Conductual para hombres a recibir charlas durante seis meses.

Los comerciantes Wei Con Ho y Mujein Ho fueron apresados luego de sostener una discusión con la jueza por diferencias en la compra de una pechurina en el restaurante Expreso Alex.

Many people here are alarmed by the standard of education in the DR ..but how can they learn to think properly when there are such preposterous statements from a cardinal .
He is concerned about two same officers flirting with each other but he does not consider a female colonel flirting with a male general could be a similar problem . He is opposed to abortion although many unwanted pregnancies are caused by his ban on condoms and are often the result of incest .
He is opposed to some form of marriage between same sex people although this counters promiscuity . He considers same sex marriages and abortion and permitting gays in the armed forces as equally sinful as drug crimes and other crimes .
With this these views which are as right wing as the Nazis, how can the general population grow with love and maturity ?? Thanks goodness people recognise him for the bad leader that he really is .The main challenge we have is simply to treat others the way we wish them to treat us ,

What else can you expect from the Cardinal? He would probably want to go back to the old ways and change the Vatican II Reforms of the 1960s. Probably not too wise of him to voice so loudly in a Tourist destination.

The Cardinal is only abiding by his Party line.

Don't expect any social innovations from the Catholic Church, they need the people just educated enough, just happy enough, so they fit the mold and ask no questions.

That brainwashing benefits to the holders of power, and this is why monarchs did so well with Popes and cardinals before the 18th century revolutions started.

If you don't do as I say, you'll go to hell/jail. And frightened parishioners/citizens would bow their heads and sigh, in expectancy of the better world to come after this lifetime.

So NIcky, shut up and wait until the next political crisis. That is the only place you may serve a purpose in this country.

This is not the place to talk about attitude made by human people on children ! This is not the issue ! The cardinal with all my respect should talk about spirituality ... not sexuality. Every time the church talks about sexuality I am not very proud of my church. Remember this whatever they say about sexuality ... would not be the way Jesus would talk about it .... He would be with the poor people ... not at there rich table and out of life reality ! Please .... talk about spirituality ... not position of bla bla bla ... Be close to the people of God before celebrating mass and stop saying hard things to the poor people of the planet to make yourself important ! Your country needs to see a church more human ... Dont do the mistakes like Canada Bishop - not to be conected to reality .. because you will be selling churchs in the Dominican Republic very soon .. people are going to leave the church and satisfy there spirituality somewhere else!

Yes the Cardinal is against his openly gay brethren,but have no problem with the pedophile undercover fags in his click who prey on the most vulnerable among us the children. If one gets to read some of the depositions in the church scandals in Ireland it will turn your stomach , like the one about the little boy who was tormented by the scream of his dorm mate during the night while being molested by the holy farther knowing he will be next, or the little boy that always had to run home and changed his underwear before his parents get home for he did not want them to find out what was happening sense they are devour catholic. If Lucifer have an ambassador on earth its the F%^CKing catholic church and their Dogmas.

And yes Galileo was right to be persecuted by the church around 1610 upon publishing his scientific observation that the earth made an elliptical orbit around the sun, not in a perfect circle sense that was against the teaching of the scriptures and something design by god cannot be imperfect.

^ Makes me think of when the Church went into certain parts of Africa and the natives thought Coca Cola was God. Maybe the Catholic Church is meant for you Afro-Dominicans which live by such savageness. Drinking all day and exploiting woman. Maybe we need to divide the island to a third nation. the NEW NATION. You afro Dominicans can keep the flag and names. Since it means nothing anymore!

The reason he did that is because he knew that what he committed was a abomnation and if his family found out what he did , they would disso him . homosexuality will never ever ever be normal in society.

The Cardinal needs to open his eye's. First of all, Gay people are not going any where we are every where. Secondly, GAY PEOPLE DON'T TAKE ANY THING AWAY FROM DOMINICANS WHO ARE MARRIED, IF THEY GET MARRIED. The Dominican Republic has more GAYS & BI SEXUAL MEN THAN STRAIGHT ONES AND THO MANY OF THEM ARE IN THE CLOSET, BECAUSE OF NARROW MINDED PEOPLE LIKE THE CARDINAL/POPE There are many in the Military,Goverment, Especially the local Police and The Church. I have dated men that worked in all these intutions and many of them are willing to play & play for pay/money. Just why do you think so many tourist come to D.R. and believe me it is not just for the beaches. I am a Gay American man that once lived and worked in Santo Domingo for 5 years, so I know.
The Cardinal should take in consideration how much money the gay tourist pump into the Dominican economic. I have a wonderful close Dominican Family in Santo Domingo that I have known for years and have put all of their children throug
