LADY GAGA DISMISSES POPE BENEDICT'S VIEW ON SAME SEX MARRIAGE AS IRRELEVANT............

Reminiscent of the outbursts of singer Sinead O'Connor against Pope John Paul II, during the 1990's, trendsetting, transgender, singer Lady Gaga, stirred further controversy in recent days by attacking  Pope Benedict's views and opinions on same sex marriage, "do not matter to the world"; and are, "irrelevant".  Lady Gaga's comments dismissing Benedict XVI's views and opinions on same sex marriage, which are the official teaching of the Catholic Church, the popular singer made  in response to statements the Pope spoke to French Bishops, when meeting with them last week.  In addressing them the Holy Father said, "Marriage and the Family are institutions that must be promoted and defended from every possible misinterpretation of their true nature, since whatever is injurious to them, is injurious to society itself".  Lady Gaga responded to Benedict XVI's speech by saying, "I think gay marriage is going to happen.  It must.  We are not actually equal humanity if we are not allowed to freely love one another.  What the Pope thinks of gay marriage does not matter to the world.  Ir matters to the people who like the Pope and who follow the Pope.  It is not a reflection of all religious people".  These comments from Lady Gaga in opposition to Pope Benedict's words re-enforcing traditional Catholic teaching on the definitive nature of Marriage and Family, is her latest religiously controversial reaction during the past year, having previously highly upset many Christians with her "Judas" video, in which she portrayed Mary Magdalene; and by her song, "Bloody Mary".  Lady Gaga came to fame as a singer in recent years, with the hit song, "Born This Way", espousing acceptance of alternative sexual lifestyles.  She is of Italian ancestry, and was raised Catholic.............Fr.  Troy
