March 22nd, 2012, in downtown Leon in the Mexican state of Guanajuato, people protested against the imminent three-day visit of Pope Benedict XVI. The protest was staged to defend the country’s secular state and against the promotion of religion in public schools, local media reported. (Photo REUTERS/Tomas Bravo)
well this is certainly …interesting, news.
Reports the AFP via the Herald Sun:
The Knights Templar drug cartel is calling a short truce — but only to welcome Pope Benedict XVI to Mexico. They did put up signs announcing this,” a Guanajuato state government source told AFP privately on Sunday.
The Knights Templar are holding off on all violent action, we are not killers, welcome to the Pope,” the official said paraphrasing one of the signs put up in the town of Irapuato, Guanajuato state. The signs were seen in at least seven towns statewide.
The Pope arrives March 23 in Leon, in the neighbouring state of Michoacan, where the Knights Templar were founded. President Felipe Calderon has launched a military crackdown against the cartels battling it out for control of the lucrative drug trade, in which some 50,000 Mexicans have lost their lives since 2006.
How polite
And this is coming from someone that
I mean, come on. What chances does this idiot have of getting anything regarding women’s reproductive health care right, much less condemning them with the blanket generalization of being selfish and afraid?
Seriously. Is this the best person to be deciding women’s futures for them?
Pope - immoral fucking bastard.
The Pope is not an immoral fucking bastard. He just has different beliefs than you. No one is forcing you to become Catholic. You’re allowed to believe what you want and he’s allowed to believe what he wants. I don’t agree with any of what that says either, but I wouldn’t call him a fucking bastard, like honestly.
Nope, he is. Let me say why:
It is not about having different beliefs. It is about that an authority for millions of people explicitly FORBIDS using condoms thus contributing to spreading HIV/AIDS and contributing to actually killing people (if you can prevent someone from dying and you don’t do what you can - you are to blame for that person’s death). Millions of people die just because that fucktard said such thing.
When he says atheists are to be blamed for holocaust, he LIES. It is not about beliefs, it is about pushing responsibility away from him (since we already KNOW the catholic church was deeply involved with Nazis) and convincing millions of people that other, innocent people, are responsible for these disasters.
When he makes his claims about child rapes - he defends priests that should be condemned and sentenced to jail. It is NOT about beliefs.
Neglecting the fact, that homosexuality is just as natural as any other orientation and has been present here on Earth even in Biblical times and stories so apparently it is damn hard to get rid of it - is just ignorance. And again - lying to people about that - IT IS NOT ABOUT BELIEFS.
HENCE he is a morally bankrupt bastard that should be put in front of the international court for crimes against humankind.
What the fuck?
Adolf Hitler was a pagan idol, who wanted to take the place of the biblical God, the Creator and Father of all men.
I really don’t know what to say to this. It’s just so… mind-bogglingly stupid.
Has this guy ever read about Hitler? Was this guy asleep during the whole Nazi reign or something?
