Ratzo Stateside

Pope Ratzinger will be forced to face some of those he is so beastly to, yea, even among his own followers, when he gets to the States this week for an all-expenses-paid jolly, courtesy of Catholics rich and poor throughout the world.

There are, of course, gay Catholics, believe it or not. Quite how they can believe all that the Catholic Church tells them to believe – which they must do to be true Catholics – while being gay and believing it's OK to be gay makes the mind boggle somewhat. But there you go. There's no accounting for some religionists.

Anyway, they're planning to "greet" him in Washington and New York, as can be seen in this story.

No good will come of it, of course – except to show a presence to those watching on TV or reading the newspapers, if the protests get much coverage. But Ratzo will not be moved. He'll continue to say he loves the sinner but hates the sin.

Post a Comment

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.

We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.

Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
