New Pope is a homophobe

Not that I care much. I mean I was hardly expecting anything relevant to me out of a new Pope being appointed. This one however takes the bloody cake on gay hatred. 

Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio who has named himself Pope Francis is reputed to be a simple man who cooks for himself, takes the bus (which in Buenos Aires is a scary choice) and eschews the trappings of prestige, including the bishop’s palace. Those are admirable qualities, as was his Holy Thursday choice to wash the feet of persons with AIDS, but before we get teary-eyed over what may seem like an antidote to his gilded predecessor, we ought to consider the fact that Pope Francis went beyond the call of duty in opposing gay marriage and gay adoption in Argentina. All cardinals follow the directives of their boss and deliver boilerplate proclaiming that gay sex is opposed to the natural law of God, but Cardinal Bergoglio went further and laced his script with original messages of hate, calling gay marriage “a machination of the Father of Lies [Satan] that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God.” He also said that gay adoption is a form of discrimination against children because it deprives them of the possibility of a good life that can only come from families comprised of one father and one mother. more

Oh how lovely. There you go, there's another thing that churches call gays. "Opposed to the natural law of God", whatever that means. Strange a person who has never had sex (supposedly anyway) in 76 years now is making judgements about people's sexuality.

The "machination of the father of lies" (pffft) also is a bit rich, coming from a church that hid child abuse and declared that condoms increased HIV. Now there's a couple of big lies if ever I heard any. And those poor dear "children of God" who are evidently being confused and deceived by us evil gays following the father of lies machinations.

The "good life" thing that only comes from hetero parents, OK I shall have to remember that when I look back at the years of mental abuse I suffered at the hands of my father and stepmother, which lead to my attempted suicide at 17. But they were hetro, so it must have been a good life.....

Seriously, this Pope is just another fuckwit from the dark ages. Another leader appointed to keep the church there. And no, I have no respect for someone who declares from the other side of the world that I'm evil, especially given the influence he has. How much homophobic hatred is this nut going to stir up around the world?
