The trouble with the Pope

[joggerjayne]

I just saw this on telly.

He really is a quite ghastly human being, isn't he.

^^ And there they are worrying about stem cell research when they could be looking far closer to home.

Canary42 – I couldn't agree more.

As for the Pope... it beggars belief that he is head of the Catholic Church and supposedly represents over a billion people.

It's so very sad that a man instrumental in covering up child rape and who does not advocate the use of contraception is apparently 'God's representative on Earth'.

It would be funny if it wasn't so very, very serious.

Sorry everyone – I failed to see how many posts this had received. I was commenting on a post on page 1. I'm completely off thread.

If only I had Papal Infallibility...

it appears things are getting worse and the church is actually relaxing its treatment of offenders
