corvus albus Pronounshe/him Moderator 17,110 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 https://www.reuters.com/article/germany-religion-lgbt/german-priests-defy-vatican-ban-by-blessing-same-sex-unions-idUSL8N2MX2RC BERLIN (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - The Catholic Church has lost touch with the “living reality” of LGBT+ people, said one of more than 100 German priests who are defying the Vatican this week by blessing same-sex couples. In a move that angered liberals within the 1.3 billion-member Church, the Vatican’s doctrinal office said in March that priests cannot bless same-sex unions in lieu of marriage, despite ministers doing so in countries such as Germany. “If we say that God is love, I cannot tell people who embrace loyalty, unity and responsibility to each other that theirs is not love, that it’s a fifth-or sixth-class love,” said Christian Olding, a priest in the western city of Geldern. “I look forward to the blessing. We’re going have all forms of relationships: classic heterosexual marriages, divorced and remarried couples, unmarried couples and yes, also same-sex couples,” Olding told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreu Pop-a-911-ster 30,364 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Looks like the Law that was meant to make trans' people easier in Spain will not go forward Source (in spanish originally, ) https://www.publico.es/politica/psoe-recula-y-dice-ahora-abstendra-tramitacion-ley-trans-congreso.html The PSOE (Spanish so-called socialist party, the one the country's prime minister is part of) backs down and now says it will abstain in the processing of the 'trans law' in Congress If it maintains its abstention during Tuesday's plenary session, which could still change, the law would not be admitted for processing in view of the expected vote against by PP (Conservative/far right, second most voted party) and Vox (far right). The socialists, being against the text, initially wanted the initiative to be submitted to parliament and the articles to be modified. Three hours after sources in the leadership of the socialist group confirmed to Público that the party would "facilitate" the trans law's passage through the Congress of Deputies, these sources have now indicated that the PSOE "will abstain". With this position, which could still change during Tuesday's plenary session, and the foreseeable rejection of the PP and Vox, the bill presented by ERC (Catalan classic left wing, pro independence), Junts (catalan liberals, pro independence), Más País (madrid left wing), CUP (catalan left wing pro independence), Compromís (valencian left wing) and Nueva Canarias (which is essentially the same draft bill that the Minister for Equality, Irene Montero, is handling and which the First Vice-President, Carmen Calvo, has blocked within the Executive) would not be admitted for processing. Likewise, the group's leadership had insisted that they did not agree with the content of the bill, which meant that it would have to be amended during its passage through Congress. Now, the party asserts that it will "abstain", although this position could change during the debate on the bill in the Congress.

corvus albus Pronounshe/him Moderator 17,110 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock from the Greens has failed to disclose non-parliamentary income over several years, from 2018 to 2020. That previously undisclosed amount of money reaches 25K-37K according to several sources. This could seriously jeopardize her future plans, considering that corruption is a very hot topic in Germany thanks to several corrupt politicians from the CDU/CSU 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
