I came across this answer by Beppe Severgnini on the recognition of adoptions to homosexuals and marriage.
I thought I'd share it because glad, for once, I heard some things even from voices outside the ecclesiastical circles ...
Why do I say no to gay adoptions
Beppe Severgnini
"Dear Severgnini, are a listener of Radio Monte Carlo. I am amazed and saddened by his opposition to the adoption of children by gay men and women. I find the comment in a free environment that does not allow it. His limited thinking, concise and finds support in the closed Islamic fundamentalists, in the Northern League, in the followers of the Church. is in good company, but I do not think he is proud. I wonder what he said. Just you, man of the world and travel. "

Because the context is not allowed it, dear ELC? In that space the morning (8.30 am, Monday to Friday) we speak of all time. I said that same-sex couples should be recognized and protected by law. But what can I do? I do not support the adoption and, before that, the marriage, which is by definition the union of a man and a woman . Do not accept my argument? Try to follow me. Why, then, the marriage can not be between three people? Or between four? Or between three men, two women and an avatar? If your answer was "Oh no, it takes two," it means that for her there a definition of marriage, based on one category: the number . For me there is another: the difference of sex . Not only asks the Catholic religion, common sense suggests it, the history and nature (pointing, implacable, procreation and the preservation of species).
Add: the adoption by homosexual couples puzzles me, very puzzled when public and worldly implications, such as Elton John. A child needs a mom and dad , figures and other complementary . may happen that should only grow with only one or the other. But now I feel disadvantaged by unfair. Only in the case of adolescents, whose adoption will be difficult, I am ready to reconsider my opinion.
This makes me a troglodyte politically? I think not. Perhaps, in part, a conservative. I believe that there is something to keep in the tradition and the social fabric of men . Much more, however, can and must change. And in Italy we do not, damn it.

* Note
When I published this article for the first time I had some words omitted for brevity of the letter sent by the reader. You now see are those marked with green color .
Because I was interested in the answer Beppe Severgnini, I shortened the text of the question, according to this simple principle: public fraction of the demand needed to understand the response of Severgnini, yet so that is not distorted the original thought of the reader . had carefully marked with the three dots ([...]) this so that the reader was aware of the fact that I had omitted a piece of text.
's a way of working that is commonly used also in the quotations that you find in newspapers and publications in academic and scientific . I seem to have acted with complete honesty and fair business.
In recent days, but I got enough of the protests turned to accuse me of having "tampered" and "censored" the original text. Frankly, I am amazed at these accusations .
I restored the original text because everyone can judge for themselves and realize : seems to me that the substance of thought the reader was sufficiently expressed and expressed without it being misinterpreted, each judge for themselves.
I reiterate that these allegations are absolutely incomprehensible to me, especially since it of few words that do not add much to the overall sense of question ...
By the way, anyone looking through this blog may occur is a trick I use often, even citing the pope and the Holy Scriptures .
I do so systematically for a precise goal: the knowledge that people today have little time for reading, I try to select and publish the minimum necessary that expresses a key idea, but I do always with the attention that will not result in distorted or misrepresented the author's original thought .
Everyone can judge for itself.
the Lord give you peace!
