faux 2,190 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 According to Lithuanian Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevicius, the final adjustments to a bill drafted by the Lithuanian Ministry of Justice, which would allow civil partnerships between heteros-xual couples, are being made. Butkevicius added the adjustments are being made in conjunction with the Catholic Church, and the document would soon be submitted to the Lithuanian government for discussion. “We recently met with the Justice Minister, and Archbishop Gintaras Grusas,” said Butkevicius. “We made a break in the government’s discussion on the issue, but it has presented certain proposals.” Butkevicius refused to elaborate on the proposals, but his advisor on religious issues, Julius Ratkus, said the final adjustments to the bill were made on June 15, 2015, and the bill would be submitted to government the week commencing June 22. “These proposals should be discussed with legal experts from both sides, and then the bill should be presented to the government,” said Ratkus. The Ministry of Justice has proposed the government legalises civil partnerships between heteros-xual couples; as a consequence, the bill has come under heavy criticism for excluding same-s-x couples from the bill. However, in March 2015, nine lawmakers from the Liberal and Social Democrat parties registered a bill that would allow civil partnerships between both opposite and same-s-x couples. They've got to be ****ing kidding me. Reviewed by the catholic church??? What do they expect? IDIOTS. I cannot deal with the stupidity of humans.

Caesium 6,022 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The church has no place in politics, they shouldn't be allowed to "review" the bill at all. Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoFameMonster 1,592 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 well the catholic church is more open with same s-x marriage than this country, the new pope is making efforts to include gay people.The real word of God is love and kindness not hate and exclusion.
