The new Pope thinks gay adoption is child abuse. Since when did the Catholic Church become experts on child ab… Oh, yeah right, never mind.
Haphazard Life
It’s not that I’m complaining, it’s all the same to me if everything that happens happens accidentally (Marillion, Accidental Man)
Haphazard Life 
“Those who live in glass house…” And there is no more fragile a glass house than the Vatican.
Yes, it’s lovely fragile cristal… They always seem to hang on though.
Oh just one of the many, many insanities of the Papal system. I mean, of the whole of Catholicism. I mean, of religion.
Organized religion is the strangest thing.
Jazz, you have this uncanny ability to get right to the heart of the matter in very few words. Once again, you are SO right!
I wish I had written it.
Love how you answered your own question. 🙂

Thank you internet. Someone always says it first…
It’s pretty clear that if you are not anti: homosexuality, abortion, and birth control, you will never make pope. The only positive thing I heard about the guy was the he chided his bishops for not baptising illegitimate children. I guess if you’re going to make women get pregnant and make them have the baby, the least you can do is baptise them.
Yeah really, eh?
*narf*
My gay parent is relatively sane. My straight one is batcrap crazy. Go figure.
Batshit crazy doesn’t even begin to cover it…
So when my lesbian friend stops by to drop off a thoughtful birthday gift before picking up one of her two adopted kids from soccer practice, I should advise her that the Pope, in all his wisdom, thinks her son would be better off with his birth mom–she who gave birth to him as her FOURTH CHILD at age 22? She had HIV; Dad had full-blown AIDS and, after freaking out, disappeared forever. So he’d be better off with unemployed HIV mom in Newark, NJ (take a look at the murder rates there, Pope), as one of now six kids, with no dad on the scene? His life is one of *abuse* because he has his own room, a younger sister, a lizard, soccer practice, a guitar propped against the wall, skiing with his moms, and more camping and canoeing trips than he can count?
I should convert to Catholicism. That Pope makes some deep sense.
Yeah, Jocelyn, I’ve never understood these folks that have hard-wired beliefs and never go through the actual facts of the matter. I always want to run up and kick them in the shin.
This is the reality of the Catholic experience. 97.3 % of Catholics practice birth control. Almost half have no problem with abortion, especially if the mother’s life is in danger. And 45% are okay with homosexuality. This whole thing makes me chuckle and drives my little sister bat shit crazy. She is in that 2.7 % of Catholic women who check out their vaginal secretions to see if they are in a “fertile period.” She went to a class on how to do this and it was taught by a priest. I thought that was hilarious. I mean, seriously…how much can a priest know about vaginal secretions?
How a priest can know anything regarding life as a couple is beyond me.
