What a typical idiot. Bashes the church bc it doesnt teach what he wants it to teach. Sure the Catholic church has caused pain bc it is made up of human beings who are sinners. Find me one church that doesnt include a sinner. Also, what would Jesus say about those who are homosexual? Not that they should be hated, but the action is a sin.
@catchzz Ridiculously ironic that you call Stephen Fry, an unbelievably intelligent man, an idiot. You are unfathomably moronic for that first sentence. I'm also disgusted at Ann Widdecombe for not clapping. Why not at least appreciate his balls to stand up for his beliefs and prove that whatever we believe, it is our own way. There is no one structure of living, and you cannot say anything against that. If you do, you are narrow minded.
@IAmTheSecretOfMana Do you even think before you speak? This man puts down the Catholic church bc of the belief that homosexuality is morally wrong. So what do you want the church to do? Change 2000+ years of teaching that was passed on from Christ to the Apostles? Do you realize how stupid you sound when you pass down the idea of one structure of living? No matter what any religion says, people are going to choose to live however they want. Dont tell the church to live by YOUR one structure.
@catchzz Hahah, did you actually read my post? Shows how narrow minded you truly are. You read what you want to read from it. Go on, re-read and see that I say THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY OF LIVING... I said that, not you. You silly sausage. The Catholic Church is the one saying that it's morally wrong to be gay. It's NOT. It's just different. So deal with. Homosexuality is here to stay. Humans have evolved to accept it. But religion lives in the past. Get over it. Homosexuality is perfectly fine.
@IAmTheSecretOfMana Really!? Are you serious? Maybe you cannot comprehend what I said. The Catholic church is NOT going to change its stance bc of YOUR personal beliefs! The church has a duty & a mission to uphold the teachings of Christ. Just bc you believe homosexuality is OK doesnt mean Christ taught that. What do you want the law to change for speeders too? Go tell that to the courts that there should be no traffic tickets for speeding since its so-and-so's personal beliefs that its ok.
@catchzz When did I say it should change what it teaches? I said the sheep who follow it should find their own way. Religion has a lot of great things about it, teaching good will, love and respect. But you throw that up in the air saying Homosexuality is morally wrong. I said i don't give a shit what the church does, but the followers should not be blinded by it's THE BIBLE IS 100% RIGHT view... It seems to me, that we're saying the same things, but you're just far more disagreeable.
@IAmTheSecretOfMana Go live your lifestyle how you like, where'd I say you couldnt? People follow a religion bc its a way of life of following Gods Word, maybe you just dont understand that. If you go back & read what you sent me, you said exactly that - the church shouldnt teach homosexuality is wrong. Dont try backing out of that now. Go live your homosexual life or however you live, but dont tell the Catholic church that its view is wrong. I find you completely disagreeable in that manner.
@catchzz You haven't said I couldn't. That's not what i'm challenging you on. I'm challenging you thinking Stephen Fry is an idiot. I don't think the church should teach Homosexuality is wrong, because it is right, in my opinion. THAT part of the teaching is disgusting. But I can't change it, I won't preach to people that their church is ridiculous in that manner. I don't think they should teach that, but they do. You hate on that act, go on. But i'll accept people. I'm straight, btw :)
@IAmTheSecretOfMana You clearly dont get it. The world doesnt revolve around you, & your comment only shows how arrogant you are. Just bc YOU personally believe something is OK doesnt make it right, nor does it challenge the teachings of Christianity. That YOU cannot change & you trying to by going against what Christ taught & the church, that will stand firm in its teachings, is what is really disgusting. You have no right to tell me or any Catholic what is right & what isnt.
@catchzz Oh yeah, and I don't want the Church to do shit all about it. I want the sheep following the church to wake up and see Homosexuality is ok. Think for yourselves not what your parents indoctrinate into your heads as kids, and not what the church preaches. Find your OWN way in life. Ironic you say to ME "Do you realize how stupid you sound when you pass down the idea of one structure of living?" when that's EXACTLY what the Catholic church does. "There is no salvation but through me" ?
@IAmTheSecretOfMana Maybe you should look into what Christ taught about homosexualty before you go spewing your ignorant & immature rant! As I said people will live how they want to live regardless of what Christ & the church teaches. People will find more than 1 way to live, but that gives you no right to tell a 2000 yr old institution what it should teach. Its ok, I know you are too young & ignorant to understand that concept. It was you that read what you wanted to read into what I said.
@catchzz HAHAHAHAHAHAH. Brilliant. Again, i never said that it should change what it teaches. It's stuck in it's way, it will remain that way no matter what i believe. I have no right to challenge that. You just spew insults at me telling me i'm too young to comprehend anything, when you have no idea who I am, or what I do for that matter. I've not said anything against you personally other than when you decided Stephen fry was a moron... Which is simply hilarious. You crack me up.
@IAmTheSecretOfMana Stuck in its way? You must be some ignoramus. Again the church doesnt change due to social norms & demoralization of society! It has a mission to uphold Gods Word. Maybe you're not Christian, then stay away from the church. You dont have to listen, you are not forced to. I also never said this guy was a moron, I said he was an idiot. Bashes the church bc it teaches what Christ taught. Do I need to paint you picture that you cannot change the church? You more than crack me up.
@catchzz Yes, mate it's stuck in it's way. Doing what it's been told to do for the last 2,000 years despite the changes, fluctuations and evolutions in society. It can still teach gods word whilst taking into account these changes. We have moved on as human beings and thinkers, how can the church not even consider that? I'm not Christian, I do avoid the church, because of view points like 'homosexuality is wrong'. You keep saying that. I'm NOT trying to change the church. LISTEN!
@IAmTheSecretOfMana Wow you fit right in with this guy in the video. Its clear you are not Christian bc no one could be that dense to not get what I have clearly said to you. You cannot change a church, a faith, that has been around for 2000 years bc its teaching IS the teaching of Christ. You have no right to tell me what is ok & what is not ok. I believe God & His word before I believe some athiest like you. So stop being so dense and understand that no Catholic is going to put YOU above God!
@catchzz Oh, and idiot and moron mean the same thing... If you actually bothered to learn basic English you'd know that... So I will leave you now on this. Homosexuality = Acceptable. The church condemning gay people = wrong. Stephen Fry = Hero. Me = gonna go be epic somewhere. You = Gonna reply to this all mad and jelly of my awesome. Church = Can do whatever the fuck it likes. Religion = Ok, apart from the mindless drones that uphold the teachings. This conversation = waste of my time
@IAmTheSecretOfMana Enough of your spewing nonsense ridicules. Shows how childish you are. YOU = Wrong. The church = the way of God. YOU = idiot bc you cannot understand basic logic. You are not above the church, nor God, nor the law. Perhaps someday you will realize that what YOU believe isnt going to be what everyone else believes. Until you understand that, I have no place for someone like you. Besides you jump to all sorts of hair-brained conclusions about what the church says about gays.
@IAmTheSecretOfMana So if you want me to send condescending remarks your way I can do it just as well as you can. The church doesnt hate gays bc the church is very forgiving. Perhaps you should study a concept before jumping to all sorts of conclusions. The church says to love the sinner but deny the sin. A person who bashes something before really knowing it is simply a bigot. Youre right, this conversation is a waste of time. You are too dense to understand that I dont care about YOUR beliefs.
@catchzz Actually, one last thing. You are completely free to disagree with my "=" 's list. It's very blunt of me. And you have your own opinions. Enjoy your life, I shall enjoy mine. :) Bye, my friend.
Mr. Fry, you are extraordinary. Thank you for voicing what I, and it seems from the comments others raised in Catholicism, have never been able to put into words.
I always come back to this speech...whenever I feel victimised or guilty about who I am and what I believe in, it is this speech that I remember. Stephen has in 20 mins summarised everything I feel about the Catholic Church and would never be able to articulate. Thank you Mr Fry.
The more obsessed with sex that a person is, the less that that same person is not able to practice it. We need an awakening of rational thought, an awakening of reason for the sole purpose of making the world a better place than when we came into it. Certainly those who believe are entitled to their belief, but those who don't are not wanting that belief system shoved down our throats in the name of morality, Nothing excuses the religionist from forcing anyone to believe. We are rational men.
words can not describe this man. i would do anything to be able to think and see the world in the way that he does. the way he speaks and the way he does it is just memorizing. its impossible to think how any man can think to disagree with him.
Everything I thought and felt as a child and into my adulthood, being raised as a confused Catholic, a gay one too. Just didn't have the words and eloquence of this clever enlightened man
I suspect the reason you were confused about your Catholic Faith as you grew up was not because you are a homosexual but because catechism has been horrible for the last 4 decades. I am not a homosexual but I struggle with many tendencies, my tendencies towards sins are not what confuse my understanding of the faith, it has been the poor explanation of the faith.
Love the Sinner hate the sin, we are all sinners, there is only one God and he has only one Church
@arzeisel14 Maybe you should tell all those other churches to change the signs on their doors then......people have as many gods as they wish to believe in because god is a construct of the human mind and exists nowhere outside of it!
no it's not nice...but it's true. No man shall lay down with another man...from the horses mouth ,so to say. If your gay fine, if you act on it...that's different.
@kyleelliott90 do i sense sarcasm? and please don't pretend that a gay hating, bible preaching individual like yourself is even vaguely intelligent, resourceful, meaningful or enlightened in any way.
no God would make people gay so that His other followers could give them so much pain. If you believe God is all knowing or whatever, and the creator of everything; he wouldn't make some people gay if he didn't want them to be.
that's why you're so hilariously unenlightened and stupid.
@rayechayelle1 1st off people are not born gay. If you are an atheist and believe everything is an accident, then you know that nature has a way, a course that it follows. Then following nature(since you have nothing else to follow) would dictate that being an "acting" homosexual, that's different then being gay. Giving into the temptation of male/male, female/female sex is strictly unnatural, according to nature, even without the existence of God. It's not naturally right.
@kyleelliott90 pple r not born gay or str8, idiot. as they grow they r just attracted 2 whoever they happen 2 be attracted to. society tells them it should be the opposite sex, and you only think so because of your religion. i don't believe everything is an accident, i believe that if there is a God, when he gave us free will that meant who we can choose to have sex with and love too. don't kid yourself into thinking that the bible is what actually happened. you can't even be sure who wrote it.
@kyleelliott90 and by the way, there are several different types of plants and animals that engage in homosexual activities, so it is natural. what isn't natural is restricting a person's ability to choose how they live by having evangelical morons telling them what they can't do. if you want a specific example, look at the bonobo apes, and how much sex they have, regardless of the gender of their partner. so it is natural- its not as common as hetero ppl, but its natural
@rayechayelle1 You can live however you please, doing whatever you want. If I don't believe in it, I'm going to speak out and warn you of the error of your ways. but people have become so prideful boastful, and ill willed toward people who believe differently and to speak to them about it. Maybe that's why there is AIDS, HIV, horrible disgusting STD's. Especially among homosexuals. 1 in 3 males in my city have AIDS from homosexual activities. gays were part of the downfall of Rome
@kyleelliott90 pple have become "ill-willed" 2 those who force their beliefs on others, & blame all the bad thngs on the gays. there r std's cause "God must have made thm 2" & fyi, str8 pple can get the diseases 2. They engage in sexual "activities" 2, & r just as likely 2 get the diseases. ur risk depends on whther or not u wear a condom- preventing diseases, not just life, like u said in ur previous comment. & rome fell because of political, economical and military problems, dumbass.
@kyleelliott90 you aren't wrong for believing in God. You are wrong because you're saying that it is wrong to be gay and to use condoms. You don't get to tell someone if they can or can't be gay, just because you believe in a magical man in the sky. and condoms prevent the spread of diseases and unwanted pregnancies- they are a very good thing.
THAT is why you are wrong. Hopefully you realise that one day
@rayechayelle1 It is wrong to be gay, and use condoms. I do get to tell people what they're doing is wrong. That's part of the point of having a belief is to preach it, if you believe it to be true. Which I do. Condoms prevent life, anything that denies life is wrong, if you don't want to get a STD, don't have premiscuous pre-marital sex, if you don't want a child don't have sex or practice natural family planning.
@kyleelliott90 wow ur ignorant. that's like saying its wrong to b str8t.if u r a religious man/woman,then y wld God create gays if he ddnt want them 2 exist?& y did he allow the INVENTION of condoms? & denying life isnt always wrong.families that r not redy 2 hav kids cnt give a child wat they need. broken homes lead 2 troubld children.& sex wit more than 1 person isnt wrong.sex b4 marriage isnt wrong.it wont b a happy marriage if they dnt hav good sexual chemistry.
@rayechayelle1 No, I'm happily married, with a healthy sex life, thanks for caring though. God didn't allow those things, we have this wonderful thing called free will. That allows us to choose right from wrong. Having sex cause you want to be happy will lead you nowhere but where you began in your search for happiness. God doesn't create gays, condoms, or make desicions for you. Sounds like you blame this man in the sky for your ills which you bring upon yourself, you reap what you sow.
@kyleelliott90 i do not blame the man in the sky, i blame the people who follow him. God, if he exists, would not hate his creations. He would love their differences, and dislike the hateful shit that gets spread and carried out by his followers. and see the thing is, it's you who is defining right & wrong here, not God. & having sex 2 make u happy wont lead nowhere, it educates u on what works 4 u and what doesnt- its a positive learning experience that u carry with u in ur search of happiness.
@rayechayelle1 okay, I hear ya, so you're saying "if" God exists, he'd love everything that was created, including nuclear weapons, abortion clinics, ethnic cleansing? All of which deny life which you state is okay under certain circumstances, so now is it you defining what's right and wrong? We have a moral obligation as human beings no matter our belief in God or religion to uphold life as created or just happening, don't you think? If not then you'd be for death and anti-life?
@kyleelliott90 i said he'd dislike the bad things like wars & cleansing that happen coz of different beliefs. But he would love everyday,peaceful lesbian,gay,straight,bisexual,transgender & questioning pple.& i said denying life CAN BE better than giving a child a life that wld only b filled with abuse & neglect. im not defining everything in the world thats right & wrong- there is not enough time. im saying that no matter ur religion a same-sex relationship shdnt b considered wrong.
@rayechayelle1 Okay, I'll play...why shouldn't it be considered wrong? Besides the misinformation of people are born that way...besides that. Why shouldn't it be wrong?
@kyleelliott90 sigh. People arent given the choice, like you said. its not a choice. ppl cant help who they r attracted 2 & fall in love with. It is not a conscious choice- that wld be saying that you chose to be straight, meaning u considered homosexuality to be one of your options. Just because someone is different, that does not mean they are wrong- or even right. it means they are doing what is right for THEM. They follow their heart; some ppl are meant 2 be straight, and some arent
@rayechayelle1 I'm tired, in the end, I can't prove to you "it" exists, (except through example) and you can't prove to me it doesn't exist. In the end all I'm left with is leading by Christian example, giving the shirt off my back whether someone accepts my views or not. But to help those who need it no matter their views or beliefs. It was nice debating with you have a good night.
@kyleelliott90 and your christian example is spreading the hatred of gays. No person would ever be sent to hell by a loving God simply for being gay, and if you were smarter you would realise that.

I love how "celibate" child rapists can call a gay man a pervert. I am also appalled the catholic church has the indecency to tell people in Africa that condoms cause AIDS. I'll beg to differ with the catholic church NOT EVERY SPERM IS SACRED. And once again with feeling, "Keep your rosaries off my ovaries!"
The Catholic Church will no doubt be doing its best to denounce the truths spoken by Stephen in this video. Remember that when a member of the church condems you next time, they are no more Celestial than any other person walking down the street. The priests have two arms, legs and a head like everyone else, and were born to a mother and father just like anyone else you see around. Their condemnations are all lies designed to prey on your weaknesses.
The debate is called 'catholicism is not a force for good in the world' which as a catholic I totally agree with. The church succumbed to the new age hippy anything goes krap in the late 60s and it has lost its identity completely and is an embarrassment to Jesus Christ and those who love Him, but this was the church Jesus came to establish but those who got the keys to it got drunk on power and control and abused their God given rights, I hope they are paying the price.
@TiaraAlonso Proportionaly, that's probably more gay than straight people committing suicide. hmm, didnt explain that well. Ok, it's like... Say 1 in 10 people had blue eyes, and 20% of suicides were people committing suicide cos of the stigma against blue eyes, that would be pretty bad. I mean, I'm guessing that less than 6% of teenagers are gay.
@yourdabull Sorry I should have said 300yrs before Prodestisem even exsisted!!!!
Tho to be fair I'm sure like most Tims you'll blame some kind of conspiracy instead of admitting you don't know what you're talking about!!! FTP WATP!!!!
long time ago the english acted the same way towards the irish through rape, pillage, murder, greed and showing very little respect or compassion for human life. Evidently religion was to blame from the beginning, 800 years ago. Alas religion has done alot more harm than good. But as the years go by and the more it fades away maybe a social reformation is at hand..
I hate all these people arguing stupidly. I'm a Catholic, and admittedly he makes several point that have a lot of merit. But at the same time, I disagree strongly with many of the things he says; and although I'm not so pathetic that I would argue about it with everyone on Youtube, I do have some points which I would like to offer up to Stephen Fry if I were ever to meet him.
@toouglytoshowmyface i guess but i really dont see the point of your comment..why bother SAY you have points when your not even going to bother?? Because that's even more pathetic..it's like someone saying "I would argue..but im SO not bothered..but im right, just so everyone knows"
@cellomad1 And exactly how many have you used in your life? Condoms only break a very small percentage of the time and it's often due to people not using them properly. You can fit one of those things over your friggin' head and it still wouldn't break. Get your facts straight.
@cellomad1 Your Joking right? Seriously, right you dont actually believe this? Its a joke yeah? Its ok everyone he's just joking, dont take him seriously he's a funny guy......... or a cunt
Did he say 6% of all teenage suicides being gay suicides? I love stephen fry and agree with everything he's saying here, but that 'statistic' disproved his own point. Basically, 94% of all teen suicides are 'straight.' So according to him, being gay is vastly safer!
@TiaraAlonso Which doesn't neccessarily imply that the 94% committed suicide because they were straight. In fact, I've never heard of a person committing suicide because of the oppression they faced for being heterosexual.
to all those who support the catholic church, I don't understand who you can follow the greatest evil in the world and spout out absolute crap about condoms not helping or spreading HIV. Please feel the science behind this. Oh no, Wait. You don't believe science. . I sincerely hope you die and go to 'heaven' (because you are such good Christians and we go to hell because we are the devils spawn blah blah blah) and stop spreading your poisonous words.
@Cookanator11 i seldom bother getting involved in the never ending youtube comment wars as they never really solve anything, however as one of those who "support the catholic church" i feel obliged to reply to your comment and its nature. I do not believe the Roman Catholic church is the greatest evil in the world, i believe like every group on earth it has evil in its ranks which is something that needs to be stamped out. not picking a fight just making a point.
I believe your comment generates very little to this topic, if you read my comment you will realize i mentioned nothing about anybody lying. thus the reason i struggle to understand your "points" relativity. if you could make yourself clearer on the direction your coming from?
Reading these comments has made me genuinely worried about the sanity of a large percent of our population. The fact that there are even four or five people on the earth with such incompetent, blinded, prehistoric views astonishes me. It's just so frustrating, knowing that whatever we say the REAL extremists will just shove their fingers in their ears and sing- anything to block out the truth, that their imaginary friend is just in their head. Maybe in another few thousand years, everyone will
Elequent, beautiful and pure. That just about sums up Stephen Fry's motion. What aspect of his speech can possibly be countered by those that continue to praise the Catholic Church as a force of good as even now, it has Cardinels held above the law who forced children to sign gag orders or even actively abused them when in power? If I had to choose between serving in heaven with a disgusting excuse of a human like the Pope, or burning with Stephen Fry Id be grabbing my sun cream lotion.
@WayOfTheMaster454 Let's get this straight, one man campaigns for health and safety of people who are the victims of the Pope's doctrines on contraception in Uganda, a man who has helped thousands of children cope with illiteracy and a women's rights activist and the Pope prefers to protect pedophiles from the legal incarceration in the country they commited their crimes and has said that contraception, even within married couples struggling with HIV and AIDS, is a moral evil. Nah. Dont think so
@Laochra --Dumbass: The Holy Father never "protected pedophiles" as you and the secular media think; secondly the Catholic Church in Africa is the biggest caregiver of aids patients in africa and is the educator of many peoples. You are one ignorant SOB.
@mrface19 --people spread hiv on their own accord, and not because of our teachings. Place the blame on the one actually spreading the virus and no-one else.
@WayOfTheMaster454 The Catholic church preaches abstinence as the only way to prevent the extraction of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, and they teach the lie that condoms increase the likelihood of the virus. These bitter old virgins should have no opinion whatsoever on sexual issues, issues that they have no experience with. You can take your virginal piety and shove it up your ass.
@mscubana --Condoms have not worked at all in africa and elsewhere. They are yet another failed liberal policy that should never have been tried in the 1st place; liberals are destroyers of culture, just like you. REPENT.
@WayOfTheMaster454 Your ignorance and arrogance contributes to the destruction of humanity, in which your vile church takes advantage of the poor and uneducated. Just as it did centuries ago, the church continues to do evil by keeping the people in Africa in the dark from learning of PROPER sex education.
@WayOfTheMaster454 Nothing good will ever come from that evil organization known as the catholic church. The more educated people become, the more ground the catholic church will lose, and IT KNOWS THIS because it has had to give up so much ground already. Had this been centuries ago, the "heathens" would be racked, burned or killed in some other torturous way, but since the people know better now, the church approaches us with this ingratiating manner...... FUCKING PIGS.
@WayOfTheMaster454 That's strange considering the Cloyne report in Ireland uncovered official Vatican orders forbidding clergy from alerting authorities from turning in abusers as well as refusing to acknowledge why the Vatican state refuses to answer Ireland as to why it felt it had the authority to overstep its power and interfere in teh laws of another land. If the church truely cared about AIDS victims, they wouldnbt be telling them to have unprotected sex. So no, Im not the ignorant one.
1,198 likes vs 24 dislikes. I think that shows where the majority of people are at right now. Time to stand up against religion. It is complete crap and we all know it. Why do we let it take such a position in our world?
GUAPOOOOO...! ¡VIVA TU MADRE! (Spontaneous acclamation from "catholic" Spain).
One of the best put discourses I heard in my life. People like you may bring justice back to this world. STEPHEN FRY FOR PRESIDENT. And besides, artists wipe the tears from men's eyes. So we can maybe canonise you too...! As an example...? Eh? Well, thank you.
Condoms are man made, and aids is a man made name to give fear by the devil like the word naked was given by the devil to have human animals fear to take them off. U,C,S, now when they are young,and avoid the suffering, and give food freely, and get rid of Money, and misery will flee with it. Humans are preying on the uneducated humans, and that is a crime. upcspine,and DR Daniel Clark upper cervical research, top of page. All do this now being checked,and adjusted if needed keep appointments.
He is lying about AIDS. It is a name, one of many to panic humans like a herd of elephants.
5:20, humans are being affected by the positiveness, and inflection of his voice, and not the truth of his words being like the beguiling serpent in the garden of Eden.
@kobidobidog firstly, he is speaking against the church, and as such wants people to agree with him. if you watch Anne Widdicombe's pro-catholicism speach she is the same.
Secondly, everything this man says is the truth, and for you to say he is lying, especially about something as horrendous as AIDS is, frankly, pretty disgusting and mind-boggling. I don't know you or what you've been taught, but i suggest you take a step back from your blind and antiquated faith and have a look at the world.
@antnybeard I am here to teach a lot more than you can possibly imagine. Aids is a collection of symptoms that's all. A good type of Chiropractic has decease those symptoms, DR Daniel Clark upper cervical specific made simple. That is the underlying problem for the doctor named things when mentioned have humans stampeding to what they think is a quick fix like a herd of wildebeest. Humanity has been duped by advertisements that are well spoken with well dressed humans hypnotizing the masses.
We love you Stephen Fry for speaking out against the injustice and hatred of religion

What a typical idiot. Bashes the church bc it doesnt teach what he wants it to teach. Sure the Catholic church has caused pain bc it is made up of human beings who are sinners. Find me one church that doesnt include a sinner. Also, what would Jesus say about those who are homosexual? Not that they should be hated, but the action is a sin.

@catchzz Ridiculously ironic that you call Stephen Fry, an unbelievably intelligent man, an idiot. You are unfathomably moronic for that first sentence. I'm also disgusted at Ann Widdecombe for not clapping. Why not at least appreciate his balls to stand up for his beliefs and prove that whatever we believe, it is our own way. There is no one structure of living, and you cannot say anything against that. If you do, you are narrow minded.

Humans have evolved to accept it. But religion lives in the past. Get over it. Homosexuality is perfectly fine.

@IAmTheSecretOfMana Really!? Are you serious? Maybe you cannot comprehend what I said. The Catholic church is NOT going to change its stance bc of YOUR personal beliefs! The church has a duty & a mission to uphold the teachings of Christ. Just bc you believe homosexuality is OK doesnt mean Christ taught that. What do you want the law to change for speeders too? Go tell that to the courts that there should be no traffic tickets for speeding since its so-and-so's personal beliefs that its ok.

@catchzz You haven't said I couldn't. That's not what i'm challenging you on. I'm challenging you thinking Stephen Fry is an idiot. I don't think the church should teach Homosexuality is wrong, because it is right, in my opinion. THAT part of the teaching is disgusting. But I can't change it, I won't preach to people that their church is ridiculous in that manner. I don't think they should teach that, but they do. You hate on that act, go on. But i'll accept people. I'm straight, btw :)

@IAmTheSecretOfMana You clearly dont get it. The world doesnt revolve around you, & your comment only shows how arrogant you are. Just bc YOU personally believe something is OK doesnt make it right, nor does it challenge the teachings of Christianity. That YOU cannot change & you trying to by going against what Christ taught & the church, that will stand firm in its teachings, is what is really disgusting. You have no right to tell me or any Catholic what is right & what isnt.
catchzz 1 week ago
@catchzz Oh yeah, and I don't want the Church to do shit all about it. I want the sheep following the church to wake up and see Homosexuality is ok. Think for yourselves not what your parents indoctrinate into your heads as kids, and not what the church preaches. Find your OWN way in life. Ironic you say to ME "Do you realize how stupid you sound when you pass down the idea of one structure of living?" when that's EXACTLY what the Catholic church does. "There is no salvation but through me" ?
IAmTheSecretOfMana 1 week ago
@IAmTheSecretOfMana Maybe you should look into what Christ taught about homosexualty before you go spewing your ignorant & immature rant! As I said people will live how they want to live regardless of what Christ & the church teaches. People will find more than 1 way to live, but that gives you no right to tell a 2000 yr old institution what it should teach. Its ok, I know you are too young & ignorant to understand that concept. It was you that read what you wanted to read into what I said.
catchzz 1 week ago
@catchzz HAHAHAHAHAHAH. Brilliant. Again, i never said that it should change what it teaches. It's stuck in it's way, it will remain that way no matter what i believe. I have no right to challenge that. You just spew insults at me telling me i'm too young to comprehend anything, when you have no idea who I am, or what I do for that matter. I've not said anything against you personally other than when you decided Stephen fry was a moron... Which is simply hilarious. You crack me up.
IAmTheSecretOfMana 1 week ago
@IAmTheSecretOfMana Stuck in its way? You must be some ignoramus. Again the church doesnt change due to social norms & demoralization of society! It has a mission to uphold Gods Word. Maybe you're not Christian, then stay away from the church. You dont have to listen, you are not forced to. I also never said this guy was a moron, I said he was an idiot. Bashes the church bc it teaches what Christ taught. Do I need to paint you picture that you cannot change the church? You more than crack me up.
catchzz 1 week ago
@catchzz Yes, mate it's stuck in it's way. Doing what it's been told to do for the last 2,000 years despite the changes, fluctuations and evolutions in society. It can still teach gods word whilst taking into account these changes. We have moved on as human beings and thinkers, how can the church not even consider that? I'm not Christian, I do avoid the church, because of view points like 'homosexuality is wrong'. You keep saying that. I'm NOT trying to change the church. LISTEN!
IAmTheSecretOfMana 1 week ago
@IAmTheSecretOfMana Wow you fit right in with this guy in the video. Its clear you are not Christian bc no one could be that dense to not get what I have clearly said to you. You cannot change a church, a faith, that has been around for 2000 years bc its teaching IS the teaching of Christ. You have no right to tell me what is ok & what is not ok. I believe God & His word before I believe some athiest like you. So stop being so dense and understand that no Catholic is going to put YOU above God!
catchzz 1 week ago
@catchzz Oh, and idiot and moron mean the same thing... If you actually bothered to learn basic English you'd know that... So I will leave you now on this. Homosexuality = Acceptable. The church condemning gay people = wrong. Stephen Fry = Hero. Me = gonna go be epic somewhere. You = Gonna reply to this all mad and jelly of my awesome. Church = Can do whatever the fuck it likes. Religion = Ok, apart from the mindless drones that uphold the teachings. This conversation = waste of my time
IAmTheSecretOfMana 1 week ago
@IAmTheSecretOfMana Enough of your spewing nonsense ridicules. Shows how childish you are. YOU = Wrong. The church = the way of God. YOU = idiot bc you cannot understand basic logic. You are not above the church, nor God, nor the law. Perhaps someday you will realize that what YOU believe isnt going to be what everyone else believes. Until you understand that, I have no place for someone like you. Besides you jump to all sorts of hair-brained conclusions about what the church says about gays.
catchzz 1 week ago
@IAmTheSecretOfMana So if you want me to send condescending remarks your way I can do it just as well as you can. The church doesnt hate gays bc the church is very forgiving. Perhaps you should study a concept before jumping to all sorts of conclusions. The church says to love the sinner but deny the sin. A person who bashes something before really knowing it is simply a bigot. Youre right, this conversation is a waste of time. You are too dense to understand that I dont care about YOUR beliefs.

The more obsessed with sex that a person is, the less that that same person is not able to practice it. We need an awakening of rational thought, an awakening of reason for the sole purpose of making the world a better place than when we came into it. Certainly those who believe are entitled to their belief, but those who don't are not wanting that belief system shoved down our throats in the name of morality, Nothing excuses the religionist from forcing anyone to believe. We are rational men.

I suspect the reason you were confused about your Catholic Faith as you grew up was not because you are a homosexual but because catechism has been horrible for the last 4 decades. I am not a homosexual but I struggle with many tendencies, my tendencies towards sins are not what confuse my understanding of the faith, it has been the poor explanation of the faith.

no God would make people gay so that His other followers could give them so much pain. If you believe God is all knowing or whatever, and the creator of everything; he wouldn't make some people gay if he didn't want them to be.
that's why you're so hilariously unenlightened and stupid.
rayechayelle1 3 months ago
@rayechayelle1 1st off people are not born gay. If you are an atheist and believe everything is an accident, then you know that nature has a way, a course that it follows. Then following nature(since you have nothing else to follow) would dictate that being an "acting" homosexual, that's different then being gay. Giving into the temptation of male/male, female/female sex is strictly unnatural, according to nature, even without the existence of God. It's not naturally right.
kyleelliott90 3 months ago
@kyleelliott90 pple r not born gay or str8, idiot. as they grow they r just attracted 2 whoever they happen 2 be attracted to. society tells them it should be the opposite sex, and you only think so because of your religion. i don't believe everything is an accident, i believe that if there is a God, when he gave us free will that meant who we can choose to have sex with and love too. don't kid yourself into thinking that the bible is what actually happened. you can't even be sure who wrote it.
rayechayelle1 3 months ago
@kyleelliott90 and by the way, there are several different types of plants and animals that engage in homosexual activities, so it is natural. what isn't natural is restricting a person's ability to choose how they live by having evangelical morons telling them what they can't do. if you want a specific example, look at the bonobo apes, and how much sex they have, regardless of the gender of their partner. so it is natural- its not as common as hetero ppl, but its natural

@kyleelliott90 you aren't wrong for believing in God. You are wrong because you're saying that it is wrong to be gay and to use condoms. You don't get to tell someone if they can or can't be gay, just because you believe in a magical man in the sky. and condoms prevent the spread of diseases and unwanted pregnancies- they are a very good thing.
THAT is why you are wrong. Hopefully you realise that one day
rayechayelle1 3 months ago
@rayechayelle1 It is wrong to be gay, and use condoms. I do get to tell people what they're doing is wrong. That's part of the point of having a belief is to preach it, if you believe it to be true. Which I do. Condoms prevent life, anything that denies life is wrong, if you don't want to get a STD, don't have premiscuous pre-marital sex, if you don't want a child don't have sex or practice natural family planning.

rayechayelle1 3 months ago
@rayechayelle1 No, I'm happily married, with a healthy sex life, thanks for caring though. God didn't allow those things, we have this wonderful thing called free will. That allows us to choose right from wrong. Having sex cause you want to be happy will lead you nowhere but where you began in your search for happiness. God doesn't create gays, condoms, or make desicions for you. Sounds like you blame this man in the sky for your ills which you bring upon yourself, you reap what you sow.
kyleelliott90 3 months ago
@kyleelliott90 i do not blame the man in the sky, i blame the people who follow him. God, if he exists, would not hate his creations. He would love their differences, and dislike the hateful shit that gets spread and carried out by his followers. and see the thing is, it's you who is defining right & wrong here, not God. & having sex 2 make u happy wont lead nowhere, it educates u on what works 4 u and what doesnt- its a positive learning experience that u carry with u in ur search of happiness.

@rayechayelle1 okay, I hear ya, so you're saying "if" God exists, he'd love everything that was created, including nuclear weapons, abortion clinics, ethnic cleansing?

The Catholic Church will no doubt be doing its best to denounce the truths spoken by Stephen in this video. Remember that when a member of the church condems you next time, they are no more Celestial than any other person walking down the street. The priests have two arms, legs and a head like everyone else, and were born to a mother and father just like anyone else you see around. Their condemnations are all lies designed to prey on your weaknesses.

@TiaraAlonso Proportionaly, that's probably more gay than straight people committing suicide. hmm, didnt explain that well. Ok, it's like... Say 1 in 10 people had blue eyes, and 20% of suicides were people committing suicide cos of the stigma against blue eyes, that would be pretty bad. I mean, I'm guessing that less than 6% of teenagers are gay.

Elequent, beautiful and pure. That just about sums up Stephen Fry's motion. What aspect of his speech can possibly be countered by those that continue to praise the Catholic Church as a force of good as even now, it has Cardinels held above the law who forced children to sign gag orders or even actively abused them when in power? If I had to choose between serving in heaven with a disgusting excuse of a human like the Pope, or burning with Stephen Fry Id be grabbing my sun cream lotion.

@WayOfTheMaster454 Let's get this straight, one man campaigns for health and safety of people who are the victims of the Pope's doctrines on contraception in Uganda, a man who has helped thousands of children cope with illiteracy and a women's rights activist and the Pope prefers to protect pedophiles from the legal incarceration in the country they commited their crimes and has said that contraception, even within married couples struggling with HIV and AIDS, is a moral evil. Nah. Dont think so

@Laochra --Dumbass: The Holy Father never "protected pedophiles" as you and the secular media think; secondly the Catholic Church in Africa is the biggest caregiver of aids patients in africa and is the educator of many peoples. You are one ignorant SOB.

@WayOfTheMaster454 I should bloody well think so, considering their teachings are helping the spread of HIV...

@mrface19 --people spread hiv on their own accord, and not because of our teachings. Place the blame on the one actually spreading the virus and no-one else.
WayOfTheMaster454 6 months ago
@WayOfTheMaster454 The Catholic church preaches abstinence as the only way to prevent the extraction of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, and they teach the lie that condoms increase the likelihood of the virus. These bitter old virgins should have no opinion whatsoever on sexual issues, issues that they have no experience with. You can take your virginal piety and shove it up your ass.

@mscubana --Condoms have not worked at all in africa and elsewhere. They are yet another failed liberal policy that should never have been tried in the 1st place; liberals are destroyers of culture, just like you. REPENT.

@WayOfTheMaster454 Your ignorance and arrogance contributes to the destruction of humanity, in which your vile church takes advantage of the poor and uneducated. Just as it did centuries ago, the church continues to do evil by keeping the people in Africa in the dark from learning of PROPER sex education.

@WayOfTheMaster454 Nothing good will ever come from that evil organization known as the catholic church. The more educated people become, the more ground the catholic church will lose, and IT KNOWS THIS because it has had to give up so much ground already. Had this been centuries ago, the "heathens" would be racked, burned or killed in some other torturous way, but since the people know better now, the church approaches us with this ingratiating manner...... FUCKING PIGS.

@WayOfTheMaster454 mscubana summed up my reply. You are a complete tool.
And if nothing good ever came from liberalism, then you can be damn sure that nothing good ever came from Catholicism.

@WayOfTheMaster454 That's strange considering the Cloyne report in Ireland uncovered official Vatican orders forbidding clergy from alerting authorities from turning in abusers as well as refusing to acknowledge why the Vatican state refuses to answer Ireland as to why it felt it had the authority to overstep its power and interfere in teh laws of another land. If the church truely cared about AIDS victims, they wouldnbt be telling them to have unprotected sex. So no, Im not the ignorant one.

One of the best put discourses I heard in my life. People like you may bring justice back to this world. STEPHEN FRY FOR PRESIDENT. And besides, artists wipe the tears from men's eyes. So we can maybe canonise you too...! As an example...? Eh? Well, thank you.

Condoms are man made, and aids is a man made name to give fear by the devil like the word naked was given by the devil to have human animals fear to take them off. U,C,S, now when they are young,and avoid the suffering, and give food freely, and get rid of Money, and misery will flee with it. Humans are preying on the uneducated humans, and that is a crime. upcspine,and DR Daniel Clark upper cervical research, top of page. All do this now being checked,and adjusted if needed keep appointments.

He is lying about AIDS. It is a name, one of many to panic humans like a herd of elephants.
5:20, humans are being affected by the positiveness, and inflection of his voice, and not the truth of his words being like the beguiling serpent in the garden of Eden.

@kobidobidog firstly, he is speaking against the church, and as such wants people to agree with him. if you watch Anne Widdicombe's pro-catholicism speach she is the same.
Secondly, everything this man says is the truth, and for you to say he is lying, especially about something as horrendous as AIDS is, frankly, pretty disgusting and mind-boggling. I don't know you or what you've been taught, but i suggest you take a step back from your blind and antiquated faith and have a look at the world.

@antnybeard I am here to teach a lot more than you can possibly imagine. Aids is a collection of symptoms that's all. A good type of Chiropractic has decease those symptoms, DR Daniel Clark upper cervical specific made simple. That is the underlying problem for the doctor named things when mentioned have humans stampeding to what they think is a quick fix like a herd of wildebeest. Humanity has been duped by advertisements that are well spoken with well dressed humans hypnotizing the masses.
