The reaction of the Vatican to the declaration of the UN Human Rights Council has called for an end to violence and discrimination against lesbians, gays and transsexuals can only be described as ambivalent.
Vatican Radio as reported, is also the permanent observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, the view that no state may punish people "because of their sexual feelings and thoughts. " This violates accepted human rights and could "under no circumstances ".
However, Tomasi also spoke in favor of that states should have the right "to regulate certain sexual acts. " Thus, there exists "worldwide consensus about the fact that certain sexual practices must be prohibited by law," said the archbishop.
But what at first sounds is clear and logical, in fact, Lesbian, and Transgender for the Catholic Church with the same child molesters. That was not enough, Tomasi sees the church as the victim: "Many are attacked when they support sexual behavior between people of the same sex are not"the church diplomat. Believers would be "stigmatized, vilified and persecuted."
One view which is causing many lesbian and gay activists to head shaking. Criticizes the German Green politician Volker Beck of the Church "mental atomization ', states:" I have no mobs of angry gays and lesbians against Catholic preacher known, "the openly gay club head of the Greens in the Bundestag. "But the fact is that for example in Uganda evangelical groups are trying to create a pogrom atmosphere against gays and lesbians. Here, the Vatican had an obligation to act, "said Beck gets upset about the Vatican.
