Costa Rican President Calls Clerical
Celibacy Wrong, Favours Same Sex Marriages
Costa Rican president Oscar Arias on
Wednesday
called the doctrine of celibacy of Latin
Catholic priests wrong and against nature.
Arias said it's time for the Roman Catholic
Church to stop demanding celibacy from its
priests, optimistic that the 2.000
year religion will correct the error, as he
calls it.
During the mid day remarks, the prez also
expressed of being in favour of same sex
marriage.
"We are made as we are. A young boy (or
girl) does not ask if he or she will grow up
gay or straight. sexual orientation is given
by God or by nature", said Arias urging
respect for homosexuals.
Gay marriages in Costa Rica still need the
approval of the legislative assembly.
