As someone that used to be a Catholic before this hateful, nasty pope was voted in, I continue to grow more and more disgusted by his actions and words. I used to love going to church. It was a place of hope and love and faith. It was a place to welcome everyone. In today's pre-Christmas speech, the Pope bluntly attacked gay people and the love they share with each other. Basically, he's saying love is evil. That's the same as taking Christ out of Christmas... stupid. My personal feeling is that appointing this Pope was a HUGE mistake. He's divisive, hateful, and unwelcoming. That's NOT how a pope should be. He needs to quit and be replaced by someone who actually does preach Jesus' love and acceptance of ALL. I'm sad that the church I once loved going to is now an unwelcoming place. I would love to go to church this Christmas, but it's not a welcoming place anymore. Jesus never said "love everyone except this group." Why people use religion as a divider instead of a uniter is simply sad. Thanks for the Christmas wishes, you unkind Pope.
Pope makes blunt statement on homosexuality
Big News Network.com Tuesday 23rd December, 2008
Pope Benedict XVI has said the world needs to be saved from homosexual or transsexual behavior. He said the issue was just as important as saving the rainforest from destruction.
The pope said: 'The tropical forests do deserve our protection. But man, as a creature, does not deserve any less.'
In a pre-Christmas speech to Catholics, he reiterated the Catholic Church teaching that homosexuality is not sinful but homosexual acts are. He compared behaviour beyond traditional heterosexual relations as 'a destruction of God's work'.
