Not sure how accurate that is. I know plenty of people who had both parents who either one or both were deadbeat parents. I've also known some people with only one parent who excelled in life. I think it's more important to have good role models. Just having both parents the key.

Of course he 's still single.

Even though you turned out "okay" by your own standards?

Doesn't count until Simon says.

And who would  know better about parenting than somehow who has taken a vow of chastity

I was raised by wolf. Yeah, just one, and I'm fine.

I think that Francis is talking more about the impact to society as a whole, rather than individual cases.


I too know of families where the child was MUCH better off raised by a divorced single parent, rather than being forced to grow up in a dysfunctional family where both remained married, or a single parent who gave up on trying to find a substitute father figure for the child.

Because all single parents are women.  :

For the purposes of brevity, I didn't think it needed to be said that the that the gender roles couldn't be reversed.  You guys are smarter than that.  But if that is what you want to get stuck on.....I can't help you.




If a child has two gay Daddies, it's better than one gay Daddy.  Which supports the point of Francis.  But, I'll leave it up to you to question why I didn't define if one is a power top, both are power bottoms, an ambi or whatever.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

It's all kind of a moot point.  How are you going to legislate couples to stay together and outlaw one night stands, and who would be willing to do that?

I don't think anyone suggested that ought to be done.

DING!

Fuck society - follow you whim!

You must be new here.  Hehhehe.  Look around this forum.  HEheh.  NOW, try and say that with a straight face.  (Or a gay one, if you're partial or......familiar)

Why would the head of an organisation like the Catholic Church or NAMBLA think they can lecture normals on how to raise children?


Be like asking Hitler how best to make friends with your Jewish neighbours.

'dolph baby would probably recommend to make friends of Jews at gunpoint.  Kinda like raising kids.

What's your point?

[Kelt]

My point?


That the head of an organisation notorious for abusing children should probably keep a low profile when it comes to telling people the best way to raise children.


Much like a man notorious for murdering Jews probably shouldn't be giving input into the "How to befriend Jews" discussion.

Apparently someone doesn't understand the humor that is oftentimes wrapped in BS or even serious responses here.

There is a fair amount of gallows or black humor that is utilized by some of us  BellGabbers.

But did the wolf raise you Catholic or not I think is the issue here dude.

I see. 


I'm perhaps ignorant of the ways of Bellgab but, given the internets, it's dangerous to assume that people are being deadpan.


Lack of intonation, body language, or waggled eyebrows makes interpretation a tricky business.

Indeed, it is the absence of visual ques  that has led to more than one flame war. 

That and general assholiness.

But liberalism is always using the "it's what is best for society...." bat to hit us over the head.........

This. X1000.

       Diddling priests prefer single parent homes...

        They're at cross purposes with the Pope on this issue.

No, I think old Sigmund Freud here just confessed to something the rest of us already figured out long ago...
