Re: LQD: When marriage between gays was by rite (4.00 / 2)

In the Romantic Era, the first half of the 19th century, the Church was considered an enemy by nationalists, due to their continued support for the emperors and kings of the time. Today, the opposite is true.

A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.

Re: LQD: When marriage between gays was by rite (none / 0)

By definition the Church Hierarchy always seems to have gotten to a position of prominence by getting into bed with the established elite - and thus opposed to any revolutionary changes. This can explain its reactionary role in history, but why were gays perceived as a threat?
