  1. What a dumbass. This catholic fanatics are crazy.

    I wonder if he would support a muslim sueing someone because he is not allowed to stone his wife…

  2. Meanwhile, Ziobro (the hardline state prosecutor) and Ordo Iuris (the religious fundamentalists who want to ban divorce while also having affairs and divorces in their ranks) are going to appeal, because of course they are.

  3. This is very important: *…whom she fired after he made homophobic remarks, including quoting biblical passages suggesting that gay people deserve to be killed.*

    *“He who lies with a man as with a woman commits an abomination; both will be put to death and their blood is upon them”; and “Woe to him through whom scandals come, it would be better for him to have a millstone tied around his neck and to plunge him in the depths of the sea”.*

    *Now a district court in Kraków has ruled that Katarzyna N. is not guilty. “The court found that she acted in compliance with the law, fulfilling the obligation that was incumbent on her as a representative of the employer,” her lawyer, Daniel Książek, told the Polish Press Agency (PAP).*

    *Książek also noted that IKEA “had no problems with [staff] professing their faith or wearing religious symbols”. The issue was that Komenda had made offensive and threatening remarks towards the LGBT community.*

    *Katarzyna N., who herself identifies as Catholic, said that she considered Komenda “a good man and worker” and had tried to convince him that his remarks could be seen as discriminatory and that IKEA could not allow them. “But there was no understanding on his part,” she said.*

  4. Intrestingly, wasn’t there an article recently with the pope saying that homosexuality was acceptable? Not encouraging people to be, LGBTQ, but to accept it.

    This would nil and void his entire counter argument that the head of the Catholic Church has said it’s ok!

    “They are children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out or made miserable over it.”
