The Irish vote in favour of gαy marriage constitutes "a defeat" that highlights a gap between the Church and modern society, the Vatican newspaper said Monday.
While neither the Pope nor the Vatican have reacted officially to Friday's Irish referendum result, the Osservatore Romano daily spoke of "a challenge for the whole Church," and of "the distance, in some areas, between society and the Church."

This "challenge for the whole church" soundbite is pure political sloganeering. It was uttered verbatim by the Archbishop of Dublin immediately after this outrage was committed. And that is what this is, by the way, Poche - an outrage. A clear vote by the Irish people in favor of the Sin Against Nature that Cries Out to Heaven for Vengeance. So why haven't the bishops - or the Pope - framed it in those terms? Why is the phrase "Sin that Cries Out to Heaven for Vengeance" never used in this discussion? Why is God's Divine Anger and Vengeance never mentioned at all?
Could it have something to do with the repeated calls from the Vatican for false "mercy?" Could it have something to do with the agenda that's been on the table since at least this past October - which saw that evil and infamous Sin-Odd Against the Family produce an Interim Relatio that spoke of "celebrating" the "orientation" of sodomites, and which outrageously wicked proposal, voted against by a bare majority of the bishops, was nevertheless ordered by Pope Francis to be distributed with the synodal docuмents?
Remember the "dossier" compiled by Pope Benedict on the network of sodomites in the curia, Poche? Remember how it was supposed to be personally delivered to Benedict's successor by the "pope emeritus" himself and that it was to be given top priority? Whatever became of that, Poche? Oh that's right... We got Pope Francis dismissing it altogether, saying he'd "never seen that on a Vatican ID card" and then we got "Who am I to judge?"
Context is everything, Poche. In the context of these repeated gestures of unconditional friendship and "celebration" and "welcoming" to open and practicing sodomites, how can a reasonable person (I may be inferring too much here) presume, as you are doing, that these utterly ambiguous milquetoast responses about "challenges for the Church" could possibly portend some kind of forthcoming assertion of Catholic Moral Truth on the part of Francis and his bishops?
Pope St. Pius V ordered sodomites in his temporal jurisdiction to be put to death, because the problem had grown so widespread in his time. Would you not agree that things are a thousandfold worse today than they were in the 16th Century? Why then, with Sodomy being officially elevated to the level of Matrimony, are we not hearing the clear, loud, unambiguous condemnations of that sin that were pronounced by that sainted hero of the papcy Pius V, but rather calls for false compassion for God's enemies; at best ambiguities and at worst, open overtures of friendship to these criminals against God and nature?
