Pope Nazi the First at it Again

Herr Pope told a group of Canadian bishops that Canada's tolernace of gays and abortion is a result of Catholic politicians ignoring their religion.

I'm getting a little tired of the goose-stepping Pope marching his way around the world at the expense of his flock to tear down the laws of other countries. First in Spain, now in Canada the Pope has been waving the swastika of Catholicism and demanding that everybody on the planet follow the Catholic Church's teachings on the subjects of abortion and homosexuality.

Let me put this as plainly and simply as I can. Dear Mr. Pope, shut the fuck up. Stop shoving your beliefs and your dogma up my ass up and up women's vaginas. Why are you so consumed by what gay men do in the privacy of their homes? Nobody is forcing Catholic priests to perform marriage ceremonies for gay folk. You should be more concerning about your own child-raping priests and stop covering-up that whole disaster. Oh wait...you blamed that on the gays too.

Oberfuhrer Benedict seems to have a particular fascination with gay folk and babies. I can't help wonder why that is. Certainly he has no respect for women or the laws of sovereign nations. Maybe we should start imposing our rules on the Vatican.

How about just one rule?

If the Vatican wants to insert itself in any politics in a particular country in ANY way, manner, shape or form, they can do so if they agree to waive their tax-exempt status in that country and pay taxes like everyone else.

How 'bout that? That seems fair right? In 1776 the motto was 'No Taxation without Representation'. Well, the reverse should be true then too huh? 'No Representation without Taxation'.

So Herr Pope...pay up, and join the rest of us at the table. OR.....keep your extortion money and shut the fuck up.

P.S. If your a devout Catholic and this article offended you, thats too bad. This article is about the leader of the Catholic Church and the Church itself not about Catholics. The Catholic Church and it's leadership offend me every single day and I don't see any Catholics apologizing to me about it.
