Vatican City rejects French Gay Amb

I would accept if vaticancity opposed muslim amb. It is their right.

Why cant homosexuals and pro-gay camp accept what vatican city wants ?

It is not the gay community who selected the ambassador. It is the French government.

I don't even think real governments should be pretending that the Pope is a head of state. There is no more need for an ambassador to the Vatican than an ambassador to the Shia.

I have no comment on the matter. Just highlighting why Vaticancity would oppose gay.

The Vatican has no say in the matter. The French government has appointed the French ambassador. The Vatican can choose to ignore him if they want.
But all they are doing is ignoring the ambassador from France. Doubtless he has better things to do than worry about a hypocrite in a $100,000 dress.

Pretending? Vatican City is a state.

Perhaps @Nietzsche has some information concerning the creation of the Vatican city state.
Tom
Frank is more or less right. Vatican City is nominally independent, but it tends to be treated as a part of Italy except in regards to religious or otherwise reasons. The Pope is after all technically a head of state.It's very easy to mistake as it not being independent. It hasn't had much freedom for a long time.

Why the Vatican and not Hamas?

If it weren't for the cozy relationship the RCC developed with WWII fascists like Hitler and especially Mussolini nobody would consider the Vatican more of a state than the Southern Baptist convention.
Tom
Hitler has nothing to do with it. It was to settle a long-standing dispute between the Vatican and the Kingdom of Italy. It's sort of stupid to compare the Vatican to the SBC because there's very different histories involved there. Vatican City as a state isn't going away, so I don't see the point of bickering over it.

Right. If anything, the Vatican was the real loser when it came to the unification of Italy. The Pope lost his rule over Italy. So the Lateran Treaty was just a little concession that Italy made to the Vatican. It's over now and I'd like to think we can all move on.

The Papacy lost Italy centuries before even Napoleon, but this has nothing to do with the thread.

The Catholic Church kept it's wealth and power by staying close to the fascists. If it hadn't they would not still be providing the lavish lifestyle they do to God's Glitterati.

I don't know if I at all agree with the decision to flat out reject the ambassador, but on the other hand, I think the French displayed a great deal of intent ignorance by sending a gay ambassador, considering the target country in question. What did they expect, really? The cultural ignorance of sending a gay ambassador to the main christian stronghold pretty much parallels the ignorance of them rejecting the said ambassador.

I think the French are getting exactly what they expected. The public discomfort of the hypocrites who own the Vatican.
The French government is rather aristocratic. True aristocrats are never rude, unintentionally.
