Pope Benedict XVIWe must have great respect for these people who also suffer and who want to find their own way of correct living. On the other hand, to create a legal form of a kind of homosexual marriage, in reality, does not help these people.

Pope Benedict XVIWe live our lives by philosophies, amid worldly affairs and occupations that totally absorb us and are a great distance from the manger.

But a path exists for all of us. The Lord provides everyone with tailor-made signals.
