Ricky Martin Slammed by the Catholic Church


The news of Ricky Martin becoming a father to twin boys hasn’t been well received by everyone. One leading Latino Catholic cardinal has slammed Ricky for acting without dignity. The Puerto Rican singer recently fathered twin boys, via a surrogate mother, who is rumoured to be a cousin of Ricky’s. The Catholic cardinal of Honduras, Oscar Andres Rodriguez, accuses the singer of going against human dignity,

“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.”

Rodriguez isn’t alone. Mexican talk show host Esteban Arce has also spoken out against Ricky’s choice to be a single father,

“I don’t think it’s right to deny children of maternal figures, just because you have a big ego.”

I think it's pretty pathetic people criticize him for wanting to be a father; though I did expect him to adopt, him being adoption advocate.

Can someone please tell me why the fuck "Burnin Up" by The Jonas Brothers is so damn catchy? ^^

wait... his cousin?!
[info]bluebabybre88 26th-Aug-2008 10:04 pm (UTC)
I am assuming the cousin carried the baby, but did not supply the egg.
[info]anakisa 26th-Aug-2008 10:05 pm (UTC)
oh, ok, then.
[info]ryanchai 26th-Aug-2008 10:05 pm (UTC)
thats weird. but its not her egg, right? im guessing its like on friends where phoebe's the oven. "totally their bun"
[info]fromyourashes 26th-Aug-2008 10:27 pm (UTC)
These are Puerto Ricans. I stopped dating fellow Puerto Rican males after the third guy I mentioned to my father happened to be a cousin of a cousin. We're ALL related, somewhere down the line, LMAO.
[info]taivor 26th-Aug-2008 10:04 pm (UTC)

[info]sunoftheskye 26th-Aug-2008 10:14 pm (UTC)
Honey, no. He's gay.
[info]taivor 26th-Aug-2008 10:15 pm (UTC)

[info]bedsidesaucers 26th-Aug-2008 10:05 pm (UTC)
she just carried the baby, she didn't provide the egg.
[info]simplychristina 26th-Aug-2008 10:05 pm (UTC)
The Catholic Church is against surrogacy (and contraception, of course) in any form, no matter who does it. Even infertile married couples. They're just a bunch of old, ignorant, men with outdated ideas.
[info]pink__sparklies 26th-Aug-2008 10:15 pm (UTC)
But they're okay with hiding the fact that their priests fuck little boys.
[info]mercystars 26th-Aug-2008 10:29 pm (UTC)
They don't do surrogacy at all? That really surprises me, I thought they'd be all for that kind of thing, provided it's a married man and woman that wanted it. How strange...
[info]simplychristina 27th-Aug-2008 12:13 am (UTC)
Nope, basically it's "God's will" if you're infertile and the whole surrogacy thing is like playing God to them.
[info]thelogicalone 26th-Aug-2008 10:56 pm (UTC)
Catholic Church needs to fuck off and stay out of people's bedrooms.
[info]ms_firecrotch 27th-Aug-2008 12:08 am (UTC)
true
[info]riffrandell 27th-Aug-2008 12:20 am (UTC)
Wasn't the Virgin Mary kinda sorta God's surrogate? Maybe I am confused.
[info]cinecat 27th-Aug-2008 02:32 am (UTC)
srsly
[info]ensemble 26th-Aug-2008 10:05 pm (UTC)
stfu, church, no one listens to you anymore and it's only a matter of time before you're non-existent anyway.

...That felt good.
[info]jennyherself 26th-Aug-2008 10:12 pm (UTC)
lol i hope they're non-existant someday!
[info]evilmarcie 26th-Aug-2008 10:21 pm (UTC)
If by "a matter of time" you mean hundreds and hundreds of years.. yes. Obviously you've never been to Latin America, the Pacific Islands, Italy, Spain, or Portugal. THE CHURCH IS DIEHARD AND STRONG
[info]keepyourguns 26th-Aug-2008 10:22 pm (UTC)
well even here in the US there are TONS of churches.
[info]ensemble 26th-Aug-2008 10:27 pm (UTC)
I've been to Spain five times but where I have or haven't been isn't the point; over time religion's influence has decreased and yeah it isn't going to happen TOMORROW or within our lifetimes, but eventually it'll have zero meaning.
[info]privatemsgs 26th-Aug-2008 10:46 pm (UTC)
Keep dreaming.
[info]aemmanuel 27th-Aug-2008 03:14 am (UTC)
As long as there are humans, there will be belief in a higher power and numerous hierarchical structures to administer that belief.
Get used to it.
[info]handsomexdevil 26th-Aug-2008 10:05 pm (UTC)
Oh, right. Because children need a mother and a father or they will do drugs, get pregnant and DIE.

That's such epic fail.
[info]nonfictions 26th-Aug-2008 10:08 pm (UTC)
If only babies came out that way.
[info]freeze_i_say 26th-Aug-2008 10:05 pm (UTC)

That's just what I was gonna say. When they become parents THEN they can talk. Until then though, STFU!
[info]ohtheglorious 26th-Aug-2008 11:01 pm (UTC)
They're not celibate. They're molesting altar boys and covering it up with monetary settlements. Ah hypocrisy.
[info]corners 26th-Aug-2008 11:02 pm (UTC)
celibate? they fuck altar boys.

they have no room to talk imho. theyre just a bunch of hypocrites.
[info]ms_firecrotch 27th-Aug-2008 12:08 am (UTC)

maybe ricky is the maternal figure =)

i have been asked so many times to be a surrogate for my gay friends it's not even funny.
[info]sunoftheskye 26th-Aug-2008 10:15 pm (UTC)
OMG be my surrogate, plz.
[info]wikkidraven 26th-Aug-2008 10:18 pm (UTC)
*hangs 'reserved' sign on womb*
[info]taivor 26th-Aug-2008 10:16 pm (UTC)
wow that must be an awkward conversation
[info]longlonglong12 26th-Aug-2008 10:37 pm (UTC)
If I was older and settled in life I would so do that for someone I was close to. Also, I don't particularly want kids of my own but I'd like to experience pregnancy lol.
[info]rosanjin 26th-Aug-2008 10:05 pm (UTC)
This is an ironic reaction by a priest.
[info]orangeandblack 26th-Aug-2008 10:05 pm (UTC)
Adoption is a really hard process, especially when you're single D:

You damn well can ~*buy your life, nothing in life is free. Jerks.
[info]kaylajoy21 26th-Aug-2008 10:06 pm (UTC)
Poor Ricky. I think you did good, buddy
[info]macaroni1213 26th-Aug-2008 10:06 pm (UTC)
So the cousin thing is a little ?!?! for me, but OH GASP SINGLE PARENTS EXIST! (He is single, right?) Does the Catholic Church make a habit out of hating on all single fathers?
[info]pink__sparklies 26th-Aug-2008 10:17 pm (UTC)
Why? People family members are usually used for a surrogate mother.

It's not like he had sex with her or even used her eggs. She just carried the kid. I think it's an amazing thing to do for someone.
[info]macaroni1213 26th-Aug-2008 10:34 pm (UTC)
Yeah, good point. I guess I didn't think about what I was saying.
