You can always rely on the Pope

[rationalist]

Yes, they are at it again.

Those christians in the Vatican urging people in the UK to reject laws on eqality because they extend to gay people.

I suppose you can understand their concern. Equal rights for gays would actually be a reduction in rights for many Roman Catholic priests.

But yet again we see the church acting with compassion.

Now mr Pope, when you have finished trying to incite discrimination and homophobia why don't you get back to fleecing the poor so that you can spend the GDP of a small country on a new dress?

Maybe this 'POPE' should practice the self mutilation that the last 'POPE' did...that tried and true way of WHIPPING ONE's PERSON to obtain a...well, whatever he was after but it must have been wonderful sensation since he did it on a regular basis. Now that would be a good old Catholic practice that I could support and would enjoy hearing that this would be added to the manual on 'HOW TO BE ALL YOU CAN BE IN THE PRIESTHOOD'

Look, the Pope is chosen by god and it is very important that he walks round in a dress with a phallus on his head telling people to discriminate against gays.

It is shame he overlooks that bit about a rich man getting into heaven and priests interfering with minors but you can't have everything

The Catholic church continues to unravel, now in Germany the sex abuse cases are piling up. What's interesting is that there is a document dated from 1962 explaining how to cover up the problem: http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,676497,00.html#ref=rss

Isn't it nice that the Pope feels the need to bash away at gay people while sheltering child molestors? It's no wonder that organized Christian religion is losing membership.

 

[rationalist]

And even more ironic that so many of his priests like dick.

It has got to be somehing to do with that hat he wears.

It's kind of funny how all the "it's a Christian country" folks have nothing to say about the abuses of their religion.
