The Church Slams Ricky Martin
Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Latinolicious > Politik > Ricky Martin
Not everyone is happy with Ricky Martin's new twinsies!
The Catholic church's Cardinal of Honduras, Oscar Andres Rodriguez, has accused the singer of going against human dignity!
According to a new report, on a visit to Chile, the Catholic leader said, "What Martin did diminishes the dignity of a human being. You can't just buy or rent life. It's even worse when someone famous and in the public eye is doing it."
Then there's Mexican talk show host Esteban Arce who said, "I don't think it's right to deny children of maternal figures, just because you have a big ego."
The Catholic church being homophobic, what's new?
Does the Cardinal feel the same way about hetero couples who 'hire' a surrogate?
Oh and in case you didn't know, Ricky's surrogate mother is rumored to be one of his cousins.

one of his cousins….ok am i the only one who think that sounds weird….
wow. i guess it is better to keep it all in the family.
Oh please! Who listens to what the church has to say…let Ricky have his babies.
Re: KayKay!!! – it is weird…but its also Ricky martin…what else do you expect? lol
who asked them for their opinion???? The Catholic Church needs to mind their own goddamn business…
all the catholic priests molesting young boys goes against "human dignity" much much more…why dont they focus their energy towards that????
catholic church sucks!
I hate religious people…and this is why…..religion is for people without a mind of their own. Puppets in society.
Dont see what the big deal is. But if the surrogate is his cousin that's just wrong!
Actually, the Catholic Church does frown upon hetero folks using surrogate mothers… the objection isn't to Ricky Martin's sexuality, it's that the child is had out of wedlock.
Why didn't they slam Aiken????
"Oh and in case you didn't know, Ricky's surrogate mother is rumored to be one of his cousins."
EWWWWWWWWWW!!!
ew what?
i mean i know it's not the same
as having sex with your cousin..and i've
heard about a woman giving birth to her own
grandchild…but ew? cousins?
So…. i thought that Icky here was straight? no? i thought he was seen with some chicks like a couple of yrs ago and they were going to marry? its odd… maybe he is gay o well leave him alone… yeah the cousin thing is weird… plus if its his sperm n her eggs can't there be complications later on?
Wow, one of your Latino Homoboys did something bad..?
.
And you're not going to crucify him for it?
.
Guess you have your favorites…
his cousin? creepy.
eewwhh, his kids are inbred?! I've met Ricky's family and he is the ONLY good looking one in the bunch! You wouldn't know they are related unless someone told you! God, I hope it was someone from his father's side of the family!!! He gets his good looks from his Dad.
The Catholic church should be more worried about priests touching little boys than Ricky Martin having kids.
Hey! Take it easy on the Catholics please. Thanks
These Christian people have lost their minds..
Yes, Perez, the Catholic Church DOES feel the same way about hetero couples who "hire" surrogates. Come on…this is common knowledge.
I am sure they used is boyfriends junk for his cousin and not ricky's. I mean that would be disgusting
I am catholic but, the church needs to stay out of peoples lives! I think Ricky will be an excellent dad, he had a desire to have a child which is the greatest love ever and he did what he had to do, I do think it is weird he chose his cousin to carry the babies I do not think it was her eggs cause then the baby could have health issues, but I am all for having children even if you are gay, or single.
eeww his cousin??? thats just pathetic….
Well I'm happy for him. Congrats Ricky Martin! At least he can afford his kids, unlike so many many people in Chilie
Re: guilty of being white – LOvesit!
Ugh…I can't stand him for being the closet queer that he is. He needs to put on a Diana Ross album and just come the fuck out. But at the same time, the church shouldn't be all up in his business. How he goes about becoming a parent is his business, and will probably be a BETTER parent than some of those crazy straight couples who raise their kids in a house of chaos, turmoil, and mental/physical abuse. If anything, I applaud this closet homo for having the guts to take on the challenge of being a father.
it's better in my opinion to have ONE rich homo daddy that can take care of you than 2 unfit and poor parents that don't care about you…. and who cares about what the church says anymore?
Perez…the Church is not homophobic. Homophobic means you "fear" homosexuality. Because the Church believes its wrong does not equate to fear. To your question about if he had been hetero and used a surrogate, the answer is yes, the Church would have the same point. It's outside the belief set of the Church so they would believe it wrong. You can disagree…that's what makes America great. But let's get the facts.
Re: HeebieJeebie – because Aiken isn't Catholic…Ricky Marten supposedly is (not to mention, he's Latino and many many Latinos are Catholic…which is why the Bishop of Honduras spoke out…)
ohhhhh i was so happy for him when i first heard this…but his cousin? i hope it's like sammy said and that it isn't her eggs…just that she was baking the baby…not making the baby!
Re: swandive – I know right!
Yes…the Catholic church is against the creation of life outside the natural process…so they would not be happy with John and Kate plus 8 either.
Re: milanesa –
if you wanna be their mouthpiece then tell them to shut the fuck up and mind their own goddamn business!!! lol
Re: Cristy0752 – true very true
eh maybe it wasn't Ricky's little boys that did the deed.
Re: Sammy – okay, that makes sense that a cousin would carry the twins but not use her eggs! then that's completely different! Ricky will be a great Dad! He is probably one of the nicest people I've ever met!! I LOVE HIM…straight or gay!! I don't care!!!!!!
Ricky's surrogate mother is rumored to be one of his cousins.
that has to be bullshit
People should stand up against crap like that from the church! People shouldn't be allowed to sprout shite like that without people taking them up on it!
eww that's probably not true…i hope
Yea I've heard that rumor about his cousin being the surrogate mother…She was the only one close to him who was pregnant during that time. I know they use another woman's eggs and put them in her but I still think it's weird that your cousin would carry your babies in her womb. Why couldn't he just adopt? There are so many kids that need parents. This is just another piece of proof that Ricky is gay. When will he come out and say who the other daddy is?
Just because she is the surrogate doesn't necessarily mean that she is also the biological mother.
Come on use your brains you idiots.
RUMORED is the key word. Till someone does their job and finds out for sure that's who it is…i'm not going to believe it.
It makes sense to me when heterosexual couples use a surrogate to have a child with their genes and whatnot - but for Ricky Martin - it's not like he is married and they can't carry a child - he's single, probably gay, and there are so many orphaned children he could've adopted instead of having a surrogate.
wtf. she bangssss she bangsss!!! lol
Re: HeebieJeebie – They did not slam Clay Aiken cause he is not hispanic, it is really a spanish thing, hispanics, are more closed minded to any changes, they would never accept same sex marriages or even abortion, so when someone like Ricky who grew up in front of us, does something like this it leaves closed minded people confused. Many do not see that he is gay and they do not accept it that is why he does not come out, but we live in a world that this is part of what it is and the hispanic community as well as the catholic community should understand that times are changing and this will be the norm in a few years!!!
oh, the catholic churches are just mad cause hes not gunna let the bishops or whatever molest his twinsies. they need to shutup!
SO WHAT!!! mother's carry their daughter's children or hire a surrogate also– so he wants to be a father.. GOOD FOR HIM!! he'll probably be an awesome dad– at least his taking responsibility– NOT LIKE dead beat father's out there—- being a PARENT is hard work as it is– i'm sure if it is his cousin– she did it purely out of love for a family member—
My picture finally appeared yeah!!! I know it is nothing to get excited about but, I rather have that then the little blue thing.
Who the hell cares what the church thinks. It's all just a bunch of hypocrites anyways. If they are so great than why do they hate so much; they have no right to judge. They're the ones going to hell.
The oh so generous church should keep her dirty mouth shut.
Isn't it better that people who really want and have the money to grow up kiddies well have children - than any stupid crack whore round the corner who is married to some alcoholic and it's obvious their children will be abused and broken for life???
And even if it was one of his cousins - who says it was his sperm??? If these are your only problems the world is a happy place.
Re: Sammy – sammy your baby is friggin' adorable! how did you get your pic to come back up?!
