More shit you couldn't make up, Ratzinger of all people!
I wish to lift up my voice, inviting everyone to protect and to care for children, so that nothing may extinguish their smile, but that they may live in peace and look to the future with confidence.
Big ol’ hat fails to shield Pope Ratzinger from sex-abuse cover-up allegations
27 March 2012
All is not well with the Pope first visit to Spanish-speaking Latin America. In Mexico City, according to this report, gay rights and women’s rights groups gathered this week to demonstrate at the capital’s Independence Monument and said that they were not impressed by the Pope’s message of peace. One of the demonstrators told Reuters:
For 2,000 years, the Catholic Church has been persecuting, killing, imposing fines and criminalising us … We’ve had it with nuns, priests and all churches when they act against human rights and against Jesus’ word.
Despite the country having the second highest Catholic population in the world Mexico City recognises gay marriage and has abortion available on demand – and the Catholic Church is less than happy about it,
This is probably why Ratzinger gave Mexico City a wide berth, and travelled instead to Guanajuato, where he referred to the mistreatment of children, without specifically mentioning Catholic paedophilia scandals of recent decades.
I wish to lift up my voice, inviting everyone to protect and to care for children, so that nothing may extinguish their smile, but that they may live in peace and look to the future with confidence.
The Pope has met with abuse victims in many foreign countries but, much to the annoyance of abuse victims in Mexico, pointedly avoided addressing the issue in that country.
One of the women’s rights protesters in Mexico City, where a Fuck the Pope … but Use a Condom banner was prominently displayed, said:
They accuse women who have abortions but they tolerate priests who rape and commit acts of paedophilia. In reality, they are very hypocritical …
Shortly before a meeting between Ratzinger and President Felipe Calderon, victims of sexual abuse accused the Vatican of protecting a notorious Mexican priest for decades, and expressed frustration that Pope Benedict XVI would not meet them in Mexico. More Freethinker

Since 1985 Dutch flower breeders give huge amounts of free flowers to brighten up St. Peters Square during the Easter speech of the Pope. A nice promotion for this important industry in The Netherlands.
But does the Pope deserve this? Why give flowers to someone who systematically accuses homosexuals? Why would a flower breeder in a modern, tolerant nation as The Netherlands be associated with the prehistoric and insulting ideology of the Pope?
We think there are better and more humane things in which the Dutch flower breeders could profile their industry. So: No flowers to the Pope!
Damn right, fuck the Pope, no blooms for the bigot.
Morning Chuck. A bit shaky this morning.
Thought I was going to die in the night. Never happened before, but I inhaled a tiny bit of vomit in my sleep.
Couldn't breath for what seemed ages, scared the shit out of me.
Not to be recommended.
Hello H, that's not really breathtaking. I hope you're feeling better. M

I'm fine thank you Maren.
The story is probably doing the rounds after I sent the links to Actup.org.
Let me take this opportunity to wish you and yours the best Christmas possible, and to thank you for your continued support throughout the year.
Warmest regards.

You might have thought that after Ratzinger the might have tried to find someone a tad less controversial.
