| | Jean, Paul, and Jean-Paul: Politicians, the Pope, and Same-Sex Marriage Confusion |
 | | The Vatican and subsequent statements by some bishops have also added to the confusion between opposing same-sex marriage for religious reasons or secular ones, especially the confusion between opposing it because of a belief in the immorality of homosexual behaviour or homophobia - which are not the same thing - or on other grounds. |
 | | Ironically, in terms of strategy, timing, choice of language and the creation of confusion that promotes the case for same-sex marriage, the Vaticans statement and those of some bishops risk doing serious damage to the case against same-sex marriage, as it is playing out in Canada. |
 | | In this regard, a confusion strategy used by same-sex marriage advocates, is to label all objections of religious people as religiously based in order to dismiss both the people and their objections. |
