Pope, in Fetching Dress and Shawl Ensemble, Denounces Homosexuality

he's a child molestor protector. they all belong in jail

He got it right!! More power to the pope!!!

Don't forget his ruby slippers!

You guys lay off the pope! That was the metrosexual look for the followers of Mithra.

Not Mothra, mithra.

That's where they got all the nifty robes and vestments and beads and gold stuff and halos, from the earlier Persian Jesus. They cribbed the cross too, but from Osiris Dionysius.

They got jesus' history from mithra too - he was born of a virgin, walked on water, had twelve apostles, worked miracles and was caught and executed by the government, but he ascended into heaven.

Blame those dirty nasty pagans of yore. They were the church's version of Edith Head.

While I'm not in agreement with the pope regarding homosexuality, your description of him as the "gayest-looking man on the planet" is uncalled for. The garments worn by the pope, the Swiss Guard and members of many other organizations are traditional rather than contemporary, like Scottish kilts, for example. It's easy enough to ridicule what you don't understand. As for "being kissed by a dude", that person is kissing the Pope's ring, which is a sign of respect not so much for the human being who is the pope, but for the office that he holds. Besides that, it's a fact known by most educated people that in many cultures it's quite normal for straight men to kiss as a sign of mutual respect or affection, but has nothing to do with sex or sexuality.

Frankly, I think Tommy looks far more gay than the pope.

Relax, dude -- it's a joke.

Now I don't always recognize jokes on here either, and "it's a fact known by most educated people" (is that like "a truth universally acknowledged," which of course was also a joke?) that bare text without cues like tone of voice and body language can make it hard to detect whether the writer is "serious." Then again, "Filed under: humor" might be a clue (;-). (Not that I notice that right off most of the time either.)

The Pope is absolutely right. Mankind changes, as is their wont to do, however, some things stay true, like gender. The more gays get loud, the stronger the backlash against them will be. Doubt me? Wait and see in 20 years. The pendulum has swung towards your ungodliness, but it will swing back and it will knock you on your butts.

Clif Kuplen it would be very nice if you quoted, or provided a source on your anti-christian posts. I have to ask why didn't Josephus or Pliny the Younger in their works about Christianity didn't relate it to 'ancient Persian beliefs'?

gay sexuality or anal sex or oral sex between two men or two women is not best...anal potentially destroys the immune system leaving it vulnerable to viruses especially simian monkey virus 40 or HIV and urine intake is not healthy from oral sex as well as semen and vaginal fluid intake during oral sex can pass stds which infect the mouth and throat. Disease is the warning from nature that gay sexuality is not best not the Pope because the Pope is a man like all other men, it is disease that warns against gay sexuality

Typical Tommy Christopher article... Gay, Gay and a little side of Gay...

Get over it already. Gays have all the same rights as heterosexuals so what is the big deal? A gay guy is allowed to marry a woman just like a straight guy is allowed to marry a woman. A Lesbian can marry a man just like a straight woman can. I as a straight man am not allowed to marry a man and you don't see me freaking out that I am not allowed to marry a poop shoot plunger...

"This is a rough time of year for the LGBTQ community, with the recent passage of Proposition 8, Arkansas' adoption ban, and cuddly teddy bear/virulent homophobe Rick Warren delivering the inaugural invocation."

Cry me a river!

You can call Rick Warren a homophobe all you want but the simple truth is it is a matter of right and wrong. The Pope knows this all to well and the truth hurts so your last resort is making fun of the Pope..

Mark - yes, mankind changes, too bad the Catholic church rarely does. Vatican II was in the early 1960's - time for a Vatican III. It is not just homosexuality, but the church's stance on birth control, treating women like second class citizens, and a host of other issues. The church has been losing members for years, and those who do stay are basically 'cafeteria Catholics' - who do as they wish and ignore Rome.

There is nothing wrong with an individual having feeling for the same sex, but for people of most religious faiths their beliefs revolve more around the sexual acts which are prohibited by most religions just as adultery is prohibited. Why is it I can not have my strong religious beliefs against homosexuality and this not be respected by the gay community. As an African-American I can not change my skin color to prevent racial discrimination and there is no equating gay rights with the civil rights struggle because gays can pass for straight if it was necessary, I can not pass for white if it was necessary.

"Disease is the warning from nature that gay sexuality is not best" -thereason

That makes a lot of sense... Since heterosexuals can't get STDs right?

It's Christmas time! Time to spread the HATE!

Cliff, you must be an "old fart"
Not many know who Edith Head was.

OH GOOD WORK CHRISTOPHER. MORE ANTI-CATHOLIC SENTIMENT DURING CHRISTMAS. YOU JEW EMPLOYERS WILL REWARD YOU HANDSOMELY. DID YOU HASIDIC AND ORTHODOX JEWS SAY THE SAME THING AS THE POPE??!! FUNNY - YOU AND THE USA JEW MEDIA ARE SILENT IN YOUR CRITICISM OF JEWS. REMEMBER DR. LAURA? HER RABBI AGREES WITH HER. BUT ALL THE STORIES ARE ANTI-CATHOLIC AND ANTI-CHRISTIAN. EVEN RELEASING "DOUBT" ON CHRISTMAS DAY? WHAT ABOUT THE RABBI CHILD MOLESTATION SCANDAL? THE ONE REVEALED ON TO CATCH A PREDATOR? NOT A PEEP. JEWS AND THEIR ANTI-CHRISTIAN EMPLOYEES WILL WORK OVERTIME DURING THE HOLIDAYS TO BERATE AND BRING HATE DURING WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A TIME OF PEACE. HOPE KARMA COMES BACK TO HIT YOU WHERE THE SUN DONT SHINE.

SERIOUSLY, ASK YOURSELF WHY CHRISTOPHER CAN'T BERATE HASIDIC AND ORTHODOX JEWS WHO SAY THE SAME THING AS THE POPE? CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT WOULD BECOME OF THIS WRITER IF HE SAID DERAGATORY THINGS ABOUT HOMOPHOBIC HASIDIC AND ORHTODOX JEWISH MEN AND THEIR LONG FLOWING GIRL CURLS? HIS JEWISH EMPLOYERS WOULD FIRE HIM. YOU SEE JEWS WHO ILLEGALLY CONTROL THE MEDIA ALLOW THIER WRITERS TO SAY DISGUSTING THINGS ABOUT THE POPE BUT BAN SUCH TALK ABOUT THEIR CONSERVATIVE ANTI-GAY ORTHO JEW RABBIS. DOES NO ONE REMEMBER DR LAURA??!! NOPE - THE JEWISH MEDIA USES ALL THIS AS AN EXCUSE TO CAUSE ANGER AND HATE AT CHRISTMAS TIME. THIS IS A HATEFUL JEWISH GIFT? MOSSLETOFF

Flash report from our Senior Correspondent James Johnston at the Center for Republicans United against Democrats (C.R.U.D.).

In reaction to the overtly Liberal and atheist direction our dear nation seems to be going, we feel that Republicans should take a stand and fight against the anti-Christian ideology which seems to permeate our politics and our day to day life. With that in mind, we are proud to announce the launch, today, of a new grassroots organization entirely dedicated to resurrecting morality and Christianity wherever they have been trampled by the immoral and amoral views of the Liberal minority. Real Americans will not succumb to the onslaught of Godless and permissive falsehoods the Liberal atheists wish to push down their throats!

The new organization, ‘Scorn Promiscuous Liberals, Atheists and Sinful Homosexuals’ (S.P.L.A.S.H.), will coordinate its actions with its sister organizations ‘Movement Against Virtually Everything Right, Including Class and Knowledge’ (M.A.V.E.R.I.C.K), ‘Push Obama Out of Politics’ (P.O.O.P.), the Center for Republicans United against Democrats (C.R.U.D.) and the Center for Republicans Against Politicians (C.R.A.P.) to ensure that the core values of Christianity and American Civilization are restored.

The main objective of the new organization will be to establish once for all the scientific foundations of the Bible, apply pressure on Boards of Education throughout the whole country to force them to abandon the theory of Evolution as the explanation of human origins, demand that professors teaching the theory of Evolution be fired and deprived of their Social Security benefits, demand that all research conducted in the U.S. be reviewed by the relevant ecclesiastical authorities to determine whether they satisfy the ethical standards defined by Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, demand that all Disney theme parks include at least one ride inspired by the Bible, demand that the motto ‘In Jesus Christ we Trust’ be printed on all U.S. Government stationary, demand that our national emblem, the bold eagle, be replaced by the Holy Cross, demand that all U.S. Post Offices maintain a confession counter so that good Christians can confess while waiting on line, demand that the Constitution be amended to define ‘men’ as excluding homosexuals and ‘women’ as excluding lesbians, demand that ‘sinful sexual acts’ be classified as crime punishable by life imprisonment, demand that atheists be listed nationwide so that people would know whether their neighbors are atheists, demand that all non-Christians who refuse to convert within six months be deported with other illegal aliens, demand that all members of the UAW be excommunicated by the Holy Pontiff and, finally, demand that JFK Airport be renamed SC Airport (Santa Claus Airport).

In addition, S.P.L.A.S.H. intends to send a formal request to the Holy Pontiff asking for an early canonization of Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin.

The C.R.U.D. will publish more details as they become available.
