In Easter message, pope urges diplomacy in Libya

He wasn’t diplomatic when he protected all the many many priests who left no child’s behind alone.
This guy (the pope) is a criminal.

gba, what a lie. The Pope talks of peace and you immediately launch a bigoted attack. Pope Benedict has worked hard against homosexuality, which is what causes such abuse. I am sure you agree or do you not want to protect the children?

Zardoz accuses GBA of lying. Readers can assess the truth of his statements by reading “The Case of the Pope: Vatican Accountability for Human Rights Abuses” by Geoffrey Robertson.
Robertson is a noted human rights attorney, and he documents his investigations very carefully.
Zardoz tells the truth when he writes “Pope Benedict has worked hard against homosexuality,” but he tells a bigoted falsehood with the follow-up: “which is what causes such abuse.” Thus, inadvertently, zardoz exposes the hatefulness of his theocratic zealotry.
Now, I wasn’t going to comment on this thread, but since zardoz exceeded even his usual levels of transubstantiation of the truth, I felt compelled to throw some rationality in front of his runaway dogma wagon.

just, I don’t accuse him. He IS lying. Robertson is dead wrong and a bigot. The hatefulness here is toward Catholicism and the Pope, but that doesn’t bother you. I tell you the truth and you balk. Since we cracked down on homosexuality the number of new cases has fallen to almost nothing.
Even the Humanists think Robertson is wrong:

Oh boy — a clash of sources! Zard’s choice lists Marx as a “freethinker” — so its credibility is unimpeachable!
