Where Is the Gay Fern Gully?

nazi_pope_by_ktrcoyote.jpgThe fucking Pope has done it again:


Pope Benedict said on Monday that saving humanity from homosexual or transsexual behavior was just as important as saving the rainforest from destruction.

"(The Church) should also protect man from the destruction of himself. A sort of ecology of man is needed," the pontiff said in a holiday address to the Curia, the Vatican's central administration.

"The tropical forests do deserve our protection. But man, as a creature, does not deserve any less."

Jesus fucking Christ. I have no words for this ex-Hitler Youth, child-molester-protecting motherfucker.

While I can't stand the fucking pope....you can't fault someone who was forced into the Hitler Youth. It was a a totalitarian state. You know, 1984 and all that. Everyone was in the Hitler Youth.

But yes, he is a pedophile protecting rat fuck bastard.

Um, not everyone joined the Hitler Youth, by a long shot.

With the literally dehumanizing homosexuality:ecology metaphor the Bishop of Rome is using, I'm thinking that even a lot of Catholics will be scratching their heads wondering if his mind is going...

@2 First the Pope WAS a member of the Hitler Youth and shot at the Allies. It's a fact, check it out.

Also, Will the pope be speaking on the 20th? I mean he DOES agree with Obama on Global Warming?

Opps Sorry #2, I just figured out what you met. My appologies.

@2 wrong. In the mid 30's all other youth organizations were forcibly merged with Hitler youth.
By 1939, membership was mandatory for all boys even if their parents objected. By 1940 it had over 8 million members. So yes almost all kids in Nazi Germany were in the Hitler Youth.

Zing!

It's the same church that hates scientific/astronomical discoveries, as soon as it catches up to the realities of humanity, it will think about apologizing. Maybe. About 200 years after the fact, of course.

I know this may sound really bad, but I really don't know whether I'll be sad or glad when there is a new Pope again. That will depend on who the next Pope is.

What's funny is that the majority of Catholics I know, really don't agree with him at all on this issue. I mean look at Joe Biden and the Kennedy Family as an example. Also two predominantly Catholic countries in Europe: Spain and Belgium have already legalised marriage equality with the majority of the population in both, approving. This is in addition to the predominantly Catholic Quebec.

I really don't know, I honestly think that most Catholics really don't believe their "leader" at all. I actually think that, at least in America, Catholics are probably more tolerant of gay people than most protestants. (Maybe because Catholics themselves are a minority in the US?)

Perhaps for people who think when they die they go someplace really awesome policing other people's sexual behavior seems as pressing and important as working for the continued survival of the human species. For everybody else, endlessly arguing about what people ought to be doing with their genitals while the world burns down seems counterproductive.

And the terrible thing is, when things like this are revealed the first thing I think is that the Prez-elect could easily have the Pope over for dinner, speak with him about their strong disagreements, establish common ground somehow, and go from there. I have this awful awareness of being much too small to offer more than spittle where the Pope's concerned.

What mankind needs protection from is fucking religion. People need reminding of the parade of perverted popes and priests over the last two thousand years. An intrinsically disordered, delusional, and murderous religion shouldn't be giving anyone advice about how to run their lives. He's pissed because he and Bush wouldn't sign onto the U.N. move to decriminalise homosexuality, and it makes him look as ignorant as Bush. Now that's fucking ignorant! And by the way, I'm not buying this poor little Nazi bullshit. He can't spout Nazi shit and then convince anyone but the most boneheaded Catholics that he's not a Nazi. Fucking Nazi Pope!

Ratzinger opened up the Inquisition's archives for the first time. (And has always seemed very gay to me.)

@9: This pope will not change his opinions. His is the academic mind that designed JPII's theology. Knows exactly what he wants.

If the Pope is that concerned about the environment maybe he should reexamine the church's position on birth control. Overpopulation isn't all of the problem (consumerism ranks up there) but it is certainly a major part. In terms of potential damage to the environment it seems we have more to fear from that family in Arkansas who just cranked out their 17th baby than the gays who go childless, limit themselves to one or two kids through artificial insemination and the like, or adopt.

The biggest gay haters are almost always closeted gays.

The Rat is gonna be mighty darn shocked when St. Peter sends him down, down, down to fry for all eternity. *Sigh* They never learn, do they?

Pope Rat I is as bizarre as they come.

It's as if Tony Soprano started railing against the immorality of strippers.

Pope Rat's mafia survives because the Catholic sheep are dumb enough to fall for its voodoo, superstitions & prejudices.

If it weren't for auto-fellatio Rat would never get a blow jay

My God! You're pathetic!

The stupid press gives the Pope's comments a silly, anti-gay interpretation and so that must be correct.

Get over yourself, you stupid, Catholic-bashing mutherfucker.
