Ricky Martin spawns, Cardinal spews

Why is the Catholic Church so afraid of love?

It opposes same sex unions as if they were the plague, and now it's dogging on sexually ambiguous Ricky Martin for fathering twin boys. (Note: he did it the old fashioned way ... with a turkey baster).

Not everyone is celebrating the news. The Catholic cardinal of Honduras, Oscar Andres Rodriguez, has accused the pop star of lacking dignity.

On a visit to Chile, the cardinal 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."

While the Pope has not weighed in, Mexican talk show host Esteban Arce also attacked the singer saying, "I don't think it's right to deny children of maternal figures, just because you have a big ego."

Puh-lease, we're sure Ricky knows a drag queen or two; what could be more maternal than that?
