Why I Don’t Need To Rationalize Hating The Pope.

That’s right, I hate the Pope. Well, it might be more accurate to say that I hate the Papacy. Now that I’m not trying to get a job at the CN anymore, I can say these sorts of things. Why? Well, besides official stances against birthcontrol, priests marrying, women in the clergy, and homosexuality in general? Well, there’s also the Church’s cover-up of child molestation, and now he’s busy railing against gay marriage in Candada. I have never been nor will I ever be a papist, but wasting energy on things that are completely unimportant was a lot of what drove me from Christianity in the first place.

And, for the record: Yes, I know all about Bush RE: Gay Marriage and I think he’s totally wrong on it, and you can read comments on the previous post and a couple of posts down from that to get my take on why I’m supporting the guy for reelection. I’d really like to talk about something else besides the Presidential race.
