Papa Ratzinger comes to town

[RandBlade]

So the Pope is in the UK at the moment. In this time he has:

Equated secularism with the Nazi's
Equated Christian's in a secular society with the Jews under the Nazi's
Spoken out against science

And come out with this wonderful quote:

There are those who would advocate that the voice of religion be silenced, or at least relegated to the purely private sphere.

Yes. Yes there are.

Now please go away and if not be silenced altogether then go away and let those who want to deal with your obsolete, closed-minded, child-abusing (kiddy-fiddling), sexist, AIDs-inducing claptrap listen in private.

Thank you.

I'm surprised nobody came up with the 'well he should know, he was a nazi himself' counter to his ridiculous statements.

[Steely Glint]

Someone sent an excellent zinger to PM, which was to point out that if this weren't such a secular nation, he wouldn't have been allowed to set foot in the UK.

[agamemnus]

Spoken out against science.

Idk, sounds bad when you say it like that...

Perhaps he was misconstrued? Idk Rand, it seems either your acct was hijacked or you stopped being cautiously moderate in a matter of seconds.

[RandBlade]

Moderate in what? I've always held strong opinions.

Wasn't that Dawkins's idea?

Now THAT is funny!

The whole pathetic reaction the church had to priests molesting children is sickening. If someone in my church were guilty of such a crime I would be the first one crying out for their public dismemberment. The fact the catholic church actively protected these sickos speaks volumes about their inner morality.

Well said.

If someone in my company was doing something dodgy I'd find that far more disturbing than someone in a competitors. I'd want them out so fast, the way the Church covered it up and shifted paedophile priests from pasture to pasture just speaks so much about the inner workings of the Church. A sickening organisation.
