Make a New Normal

Screw the Pope

Seriously.  Maybe that’s the problem.  Any takers?

Sean Connery at the 2008 Edinburgh Internation...
Who the pope does not resemble.

No?  I don’t blame you.  It would be one thing if he looked like Sean Connery, but the man really does look like his given name was Ratzinger.

You’ve already heard about his circular logic that homosexuality is destroying marriage, an argument that seems lifted directly from the Prop 8 Playbook, which puts him in cozy company with Southern Baptists and Mormons.  But almost as offensive as this claim is the tortured excuse for theology that gets him there.  The references to natural law, Reformation-era devotion to the family unit, and the absurd ending place: endangering humanity itself.

Please.  Biggest danger to humanity?  Guns.  Bigotry.  Arrogance.  Plutocracy.  Greed.  Exploitation of resources.  Global Climate Change.  The disappearance of honey bees.  Unregulated corporations.  And all the idiots that keep us from loving one another and protecting the weak, powerless, disadvantaged, and the disabled by talking about “culture wars” and “playing the race card”.

I’ll give the last word to MadPriest: “Celibate Former Fascist Speaks Out of Arse“.  [Plus you have to see the cartoon.]
