Re: OQD: No bishop will go to prison... (none / 1)

There are, in fact, very few references to homosexuality within the bible; all are open to other interpretations as there may not have been any such culturally constructed concept as "homosexuality" within ancient Judea; and some even suggest a tolerant anttitude by Christ as in the Roman Centurion and his "servant".

Except for the abundant mentions of sodomy in the Old Testament, that is.

En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma
