Pope John paul II likens abortion to Holocaust

"Lalala I'm not listening LALALA FINGERS IN MY EARS"

There are so many different threads to the Church right now, though, that I don't even claim anymore to be able to make an educated guess what direction things will go in with the next Pope and his "administration."

Point taken, and thanks for making that astute analogy between the Pope and his cadre of cardinal assistants and the U.S. president and his (or her, in the future when such things will have become reality) cabinet. And you also make a good point about the proper relationship that should exist between the two.

Noteworthy: At last Sunday's Mass, a visiting priest delivered a homily so infuriating in its intolerance and ignorance that I literally could not see straight when it was being delivered. This priest painted a picture of the crusade for legalizing gay marriage as one of the great evils of this modern world, but not before claiming via association that St. Mary Magdalene was the prostitute whom Jesus administered to, which is not at all the case (Mary Magdalene was the one with the demons cast out of her; the prostitute in that particular Gospel story remained anonymous). These were just but two examples of the man's half-knowledge, made manifest by his rantings.

&it isnt oly ratzinger either, there is a whole cabal of right thinking conseratives who have placed themselves around the pope.

Did Lewis Carroll write this story?

... and Polish

"Parliaments which create and promulgate such laws must be aware that they are transgressing their powers and remain in open conflict with the law of God and the law of nature."

I don't agree with what the Pope wrote, but isn't it irresponsible for the BBC to use the headline "Pope likens abortion to Holocaust"? I mean that's oversensationalism. He's saying not to accept laws of government as the absolute moral code and not to equate it with laws of God and nature. By using that headline and interviewing the president of Germany's Central Council for Jews and general tone of the article, it makes the debate about the Holocaust (oh look, the Pope's an insensitive fuck) and not about abortion.

the first of those links is catholic, then protestant, then non demon, then protestant.

Point taken, yes.

And Tep in his most recent post could not be more OTM.

The one good thing about the fact that we even know how much influence Ratzinger has, is that it means there's no way he'd ever be considered for the papacy, and likewise that the next Pope can't really afford to rely on him in as prominent a role. I mean, he won't disappear, but it's like with Presidents appointing new cabinets -- you have to make it clear that you're the power, not just a substitute teacher.

Can't sing, can't act, can condemn abortionists a little.

Has anyone been following the Bishop Williamson shenanigans? Here's a sensible, understated and well-reasoned piece on the whole matter:

Sample exert:

Good thing Jesus isn’t around in human form these days or He just might just find himself in a German prison, like Ernst Zundel or Germar Rudolf, or anyone else who dares to question the Holocaust™.

Holy shit the comments over there are a perfect storm of crazy. Including someone non-ironically quoting from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Let’s start with the tens of millions of Christians killed in the Soviet Union under (mainly) Jewish Communists.

oh do tell

(mainly)

thanks for the qualifier!

jews with ak-47s?

I am so reporting this bitch to the Elders of Zion. She can kiss her DSL account goodbye!
