Major uproar was sparked this week when someone with an important job suggested the Pope should open an abortion clinic, bless a homosexual marriage and launch his own range of condoms during his upcoming visit to the UK.
Of course to even insinuate that same sex relationships, or birth control to limit the spread of sexual disease, is acceptable in the 21st century is just so risque.
Through the ages the Catholic faith has long been the root of all evil. The no condom rules saw thousands of god-fearing parents dumping their young daughters, who had fallen pregnant out of wedlock, in Irish “Magdalene” asylums. The girls gave birth and remained incarcerated for life, working around the clock, never to see their children again. And the spare moments when they weren't working, they had the joy of a good round of sexual abuse from a heavenly father of the church, all expenses paid. What could be better?
And lets not forget the constant allegations against catholic priests doing "bad things" to young boys in their care. And all in the name of a non-existent deity.
Father Christmas may fly through the sky on magic reindeer delivering presents down the chimney pots of millions of children in 24 short hours. But this is far more believable than a man who can feed 5,000 hungry mouths with five loaves and two fish (bearing in mind Father C missed out an entire third world continent). Unless the fish were killer whales, or Jesus was feeding midgits, the story is just so unfeasible.
Walking on water? Turning it into wine? Jesus sounds like the David Copperfield of his day.
But back to Pope Benedict. Where is the morality in living in a magical world, more commonly known as the Vatican, surrounded by wealth and riches, while the paupers on the outskirts of the city can hardly afford to put food on the table?
Rape, greed, abuse, is this what God would have wanted? I think not. And the church should be the first to agree it’s a fucking blessing he doesn’t exist, or they’d be the first to be launched into the firey pits of hell.
