The main man who gives something so important as religion a bad name, Pope Benedict XVI, has publicly said that "saving humanity from homosexual or transsexual behavior is just as important as saving the rainforest from destruction." Surprise! This backwards bit of wisdom came during his year end-of-year hate speech to senior Vatican staff.
According to reports, his chat went something like this.
Rainforests deserve, yes, our protection, but the human being ... does not deserve it less," the pontiff said.It is not "out-of-date metaphysics" to "speak of human nature as 'man' or woman'", he told scores of prelates gathered in the Vatican's sumptuous Clementine Hall.
"We need something like human ecology, meant in the right way."
Somebody needs to sic Bambi Lake (at left at right) on this sick man. Because more of this is bound to happen whenever Benedict opens his mouth.
Speaking of men who give conservative thought a bad name, Debra J. Saunders' shout out to gays as intolerant faggot stupidheads, "Intolerance 2009," was sad. Pro-Obama gay leaders are hypocrites for not loving those who oppress them? Becoming unglued over politically incorrect terms like "bigot" and "hater"? THIS argument? Again?
Really, Chronicle, you can, and yet won't, do better. Thank God for Melanie Morgan.

Nice dress, pope.
Forget Bambi Lake. I say we sic Carole Migden on His Holiness. That would be a more entertaining duel.
This is an example of why I can't understand why anyone LGBT would want to subject themselves to a hateful church.
I believe the root of the problem is exampled by the statement "something so important as religion."
Remind me again why I should listen to someone who has sworn to remove sexual desire and thoughts from his very soul and has foresworn any type of lifelong emotional committment to another human being about these very topics?
Brock, you tell that pope to take his mass and shove it up his ass.
Also, Debra Saunders has 80's hair. President Ray Gun is dead, her hair should follow suit.
travin, bow down to the panopticon eye in the sky!
I will bow down when Jesus brings the pork chops.
Oy vey!
not only does this clarify the vatican's bigoted position on homosexuality (gay marriage aside)...it also suggests that it doesn't take deforestation all that seriously.
Gay churchgoer makes about as much sense as black KKK member.
Well, to be fair, the pope couldn't really use Rick Warren's pedophilia schtick now, could he? The last thing the pope wants to bring up is pedophilia. This is the only thing he's got left, weird as it is.
"saving humanity from homosexual or transsexual behavior is just as important as saving the rainforest from destruction."
The pope didn't say this. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7796663.stm did, at the beginning of the story, which is an interpretation of what the pope said. He never explicitly said anything about homosexuality. Nothing like seeing the media take something nuanced and sensationalize it into something it isn't...If something is going to justify someone's decision to hate or to be violent, it's not going to be what the pope said (which was about gender theory), it's going to be what the media has said the pope said. I am really tired of the media stirring things up and acting as though they are doing real journalism.
So aaaaaaa, what EXACTLY did the Pope say then?
