Many thousands attend outdoor Mass in Spain to honor family values

The gay mens’ club, otherwise known as the Roman Catholic Church, knows a great deal about “family values.” This is especially true of the hundreds (and I’m being conservative) of pedophile priests in its midst. What hypocrisy! TGO

MADRID (AP) — Tens of thousands of people celebrated a Mass honoring the family as a building block of Christianity in downtown Madrid.

The outdoor service under bright blue skies in Colon square was conducted by Archbishop Antonio Rouco Varela on Sunday with the backing of the conservative opposition Popular Party.

The Roman Catholic Church has in recent years balked at Spain’s rapid transition from a once-staunchly Catholic nation to one of Europe’s most liberal.

The Vatican has sternly opposed the Socialist government-led transformation, which has ushered in gay marriage, fast-track divorce and allowed easier abortions.

“Whenever the true worth of matrimony and family values is questioned, negative consequences come forward rapidly,” Rouco Varela said.

Pope Benedict XVI conveyed his blessing from Rome via a video link and the three kings made an appearance riding camels.

Catholic parishes from throughout Europe sent delegations to the service.
