Yesterday, the Pope came up with a brand message of tolerance, utter love and understanding, following the steps of Jesus when he said " humanity needs 'saving' from homosexuality."
From the Daily Telegraph:
The Pope has said that "saving" humanity from homosexual or transsexual behaviour is just as important as saving the rainforests.
Pope Benedict XVI sparked a furious reaction from other Christian groups as he also suggested that a blurring of the distinction between male and female could lead to the "self-destruction" of the human race.
The pontiff was delivering his end-of-year address to senior Vatican staff and his words were later released to the media.
The Roman Catholic Church teaches that, while homosexuality is not sinful, homosexual acts are.
It opposes gay marriage and, in October, one leading Vatican official described homosexuality as "a deviation, an irregularity, a wound".
In his address to the Curia, the Vatican's central administration, the Pope himself described behaviour beyond traditional heterosexual relations as "a destruction of God's work".
He said the Roman Catholic Church had a duty to "protect man from the destruction of himself" and urged respect for the "nature of the human being as man and woman."
The pontiff added: "The tropical forests do deserve our protection. But man, as a creature, does not deserve any less."
And how would he "cure" humanity from us?
Anyway...I want to thank him. Recently the Church seemed to have made some kind of come-back - which I've been finding extremily frightening. so I want to thank him for alienating all the lost young who were ready to jump into the arms of the Church to find solace but who are far too modern to abide by this speech.
Go on, Pope! Go on! Call for intolerance, hatered and violence toward anything you call different and people will go on running away from Rome.
One last thing to the people arround me who are tolerant but don't seem to understand the sword upon our head we have to live with everyday. How long before people really follow him?
People feel threatened to death but the islamists, the terrorists. But somehow they are so far away and they know how intolerant they are. Well I feel seriously threatened but the fundamentalists who are in Rome, in France, in Europe and branded as the "good people"
Those terrorist might be my neighbours, but those "good people" could be my neighbours, my colleagues, the parents of the kids I teach and they think they are good Christians, good persons. They think they are nice and friendly while their representatives go to the National Assembly to call us "the gravediggers of humanity", "the worse possible thing Nature has ever come up with".
So please! Open you eyes and stop telling me I "overreact", "there's no such thing", I live in "a world that doesn't exist anymore"...!
When you have the ministers, the members of the parliament of France, one of the greatest democracy, the home land of Human Rights calling you names Nazis used for the Jews...
When you come from a country when being gay is branded "peadophile" so you can't work with kids, be a teacher, a doctor or anything when you're out...
And when you have the head of the Catholic Church publically calling you a disease to humanity and calling from your utter anihilation...
We'll talk about it.
