More brainless bloviating from the world’s foremost doctrinaire pinhead:
Pope Benedict XVI has called abortion and same-sex marriage two of the most “insidious and dangerous” threats facing the world today.
Forget about war, terrorism, nuclear proliferation, disease, poverty, imploding economies (and child abuse, really really forget about that), the most dangerous threats facing the world today are… abortion and gay marriage??
It would be hilarious if there weren’t so many other brainless pinheads that take this twisted old fool seriously.

AlisonS – “Benny da Rat”, I like it
Now there’s someone who’d do well to take Nancy Ruth’s advice. WTF is it with these people and their bizarre obsession with other peoples’ sex lives?
Audrey II – Not to mention people who wear mixed threads… another grave and growing threat.
Come to think of it, polyester might well be the greatest sartorial threat facing the world today. Or spandex, depending who’s wearing it. The Pope in spandex would definitely qualify as a vicious visual assault of the highest order.
So true, JJ. Like consumers of shellfish, mixed-thread-wearers must also be relieved to be off the church’s shitlist.
Ironically enough, married gays and women who have abortions seem to be able to not have systemic problems with molesting children, let alone engaging in long-term coverup efforts of said abuse.
