And why does it surprise you

[Memphis1979]

Yep,

Just like saying that the world is round was, and saying that we aren't at the center of the Universe was, and countless other examples.

The Pope knows about as much of what threatens society, as a Frog knows what endangers a fart bubble.

Ok, I get it, you're looking for that huddle.

It's a good thing All ye usual suspects, please show up.

I actually consider the Pope and his army of pedophilial, genocidal, and AIDS propagating priests and nuns to be a "danger to humanity." How hypocritical of a man who operates one of the most persecutorial, dangerous, and death-wielding organizations in the world to consider anything a "danger to humanity" other than his own Church...

The Pope and his cronies scare me way more than the non issue of same sex marriage. What a bunch of judgmental you know whats.

Why does this seem to me to be a fairly clear cut case of the pot calling the kettle black. To the best of my recollection, more people, by far, have been killed in religious wars than in any conflict over gender preference. I suspect it was the actions of various popes that caused the crusades. A much easier case could be made that christianity could be hazardous to the health of yourself and others. I also suspect that a helluva lot more people have died fighting for a religion than ever died fighting for gay rights.

Speaking of being out of touch, today Vatican criticized the movie Avatar also. Nature-worship & gays (who love each other getting married) - what is this world coming to.

The Vatican newspaper and radio station are criticizing James Cameron's 3-D blockbuster for flirting with the idea that worship of nature can replace religion – a notion the pope has warned against. They call the movie a simplistic and sappy tale, despite its awe-inspiring special effects.

I think Troop said it best: If the pope wants to point fingers towards the greater threat to humanity he needs to find a mirror and start pointing...
