New Pope condemns Spain gay bill
The most frightening thing about this story (
New Pope condemns Spain gay bill) is that the Pope is calling on Catholic officials in Spain to obey Church law over State law. Imaging the field day the right wingers in this country would have if Kerry had won the election. All of the fears we had about Kennedy would come back. This Pope has renewed the demand for political power centralized in the Vatican. Dangerous stuff.
He has also had a few meetings with the press, where apparantly only his supporters were allowed in, much like President Bush. Bush scares me to no end because I think he's personally trying to create the Rapture. According to a History Channel special on Armageddon, some Catholic mystic/prophet described all of the Popes before Doomsday, and according to his list, Pope Benedict XVI is the last Pope. Benedict will see the end of the world.
I'm just scared, so I need to give my fears to God.
