Another fun response to the new Pope . . .
from our friends at the Democratic Underground:
Until a woman is allowed to stand at the balcony of St. Peter's with a little white hat on her head, I don't wanna hear about it. Until women are equal in that church, any pope's election is ILLEGITIMATE!
Any church that denies women the right to leadership positions AND refuses to allow birth control ... or even condoms to be used to help stop the AIDS pandemic in Africa ... is {CENSORED}! And don't even get me started on a woman's right to have control over her own BODY -- in PRIVACY.
New pope = misogynist and homophobe. He can kiss my lapsed-Catholic {CENSORED}!
Another red-letter day for a medieval, backward, greedy, corrupt, neocon religious monarchy!
The Catholic Church makes me effing SICK! I advise all women, and all men who care about women, to flee from that sick institution. These men are never going to share power. The church considers me a second-class citizen, and I consider the church to be the ninth circle of hell.
So, it isn't about your belief in God, or receiving salvation for your sins -- it's all about the power.
Maybe she should join the Episcopalians or something.
