I'd expect nothing less from a former member of the Hitler youth.

I'm not quite sure what moral authority he has to tell us how to live our lives, given his background and current membership of an intolerant organization which actually discourages the use of condoms. Thankfully in most countries the Church is becoming an increasingly irrelevant part of society.

She (Mrs Pope) is really a pathetic and tragic old queen.

What an evil performance that is guaranteed to bring on more violence against gays and transgender folk. Ranks up there with them saying that condoms do not stop the spread of HIV.

May be they are in their last throes...

And surfing around I found this picture of one of his predecessors (Pope Pius X11) when he was a Cardinal

You can almost hear him saying

"Ja. Vee haf dealt with ze homosexuals in ze party."

Apologies to our German friends.

Good research!
Just goes to show they would rather support the Nazis, than risk turning away German revenue.

Right! And what's taking the place of the Catholic Church are the rabid dog fundamentalist Christian sects. People are turning to them in droves all over the world even throughout Asia. And the NGOs are cheering them on while the gays fight among themselves over non-issues.

Just look at President-elect Obama's choice for his inaugural speaker next month, Rick Warren, who makes the Pope look tolerant by comparison.

and more fuel to the worldfire- the 9-11 attacks, which bolstered more religious/superstitious violence.

good it has little to do with Thailand

It seems that anti-gay sentiment is picking up momentum while gays spin their wheels in the mud fighting with each other about how to be sanctimonious and self-righteous.

Now it seems the Rev. Rick Warren, the notorious gay hater, will be the featured speaker at the Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Service in Atlanta the day before he gives the invocation at President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration.

Let's keep fighting with each other about how "normal" we all are so the anti-sex fascists can start throwing us in prison again. Maybe you guys who are under 50 don't remember those days. Well, it looks like they'll be back again soon.

Forget about the Pope friends, this is getting damn scary, and this movement is well funded and organized.

Well I wouldn't be losing any sleep over it. After all this is the same perverse and foolish organisation that took 400 years to apologise for its outrageous handling and persecution of Galileo who simply stated an observable truth about God's creation – but as it didn’t fit in with these pompous old dandies wrong view of the world they almost killed him rather than permitting themselves to be educated and enlightened. And it’s the same with homosexuality. They can deny it as much as they like, but it simply does not, and nor will it ever change the fact that homosexuality was created by God.

The current Pope is clearly no less a silly and thoughtless old fool as were his predecessors. We await the Churches apology, in what, maybe another 400 years?

Aunty, I'm with you on this one (for what that's worth!)

Can you document this photo claimed to be Pius XII and Hitler. The cardinal does not resemble Pius XII who was quite thin, unless he lost some weight later on. There is no record that I can find that the two have ever met.

It won't take 400 years until we get an apology. Unlike Galileo times, the science is out there and well known and it is nearly 100% on the side of homosexuality being normal. I give it 100 years at the most, before the church has to do a mea culpa to the gay population.

This photo is clearly NOT of Eugenio Pacelli though he was Papal Nuncio to Germany from 1917 to 1929 when he became Cardinal Secretary of State.

An excellent book on the subject is "Hitler's Pope" by John Cornwell but I cannot recall reading of any meeting between the Pius XII and Hitler.

They can deny it as much as they like, but it simply does not, and nor will it ever change the fact that homosexuality was created by God.

I thought you are a scientist. Or are you channeling Wesley?

[Wesley]

For the longest time I had to play with Home, shall I begin the game with you too, I have stated publicly I am an agnostic, how much more do you wish me to say, the game with Homi was just that, a game, are you as well so gullible.

I had given you more credit, intellectually that is, until the thread on George now I know you are exactly as I stated there. An Ass... and of magnanimous proportions.
