If it is indeed true that homosexuals are being hanged in Iran, I may consider living there.

While that comment is, I admit, slightly flippant, it does provoke reminders of what justice once was in a Catholic world, when such horrors were severly punished, which was for the good of society.

Since sodomy is indeed one of the sins that "cries to Heaven for vengeance" it is obviosuly proper that it should be punished - and with great severity.

This will happen again one day. Not in my lifetime, alas, but it will happen.
