Pope: “Pornography And Prostitution Are Crimes Against Humanity”

Pope Benedict XVI railed against pornography, prostitution, sexual discrimination, materialism, and other social issues in a conversation with the Bundestag, Germany’s legislature, as the Pope received the new German ambassador to the Vatican, Reinhard Schweppe. Just last week, Ireland recalled their ambassador to the Vatican, amid frosty relations.

“But the Pope’s strongest words were reserved for the ‘sexual discrimination against women,’ pornography and prostitution, likened to ‘crimes against humanity’,” reports the Vatican Insider. “They are the consequence, says the Pope, of the ‘materialistic and hedonistic tendencies’ that are spreading above all in the ‘so-​called Western world,’ that is, the sexual discrimination against women.”

“Every person”, admonished Benedict XVI, “whether man or woman, is destined to exist for the others. A relationship that does not respect men and women’s equal dignity, constitutes a grave crime against humanity. It is time to make a vigorous effort to stem prostitution, as well as the widespread diffusion of material with erotic or pornographic content, also on the Internet”.

3. The internet is dangerous, so says the Pope?

These Pope people live in a previous century when there was no worldwide internet to criticize the Catholic church for all those sex crimes against children that went un-challenged.

8. Hedonistic tendencies? What an asshole. He does what he does and believes what he believes...

because he believes it will help guarantee him an eternity of pleasure in the afterlife. His entire religion is based upon hedonism.

11. It amuses me whenever ANYONE from the Catholic Church

Says something that indicates that they still believe they have any kind of moral high ground on which to speak to the rest of us from. Silly Catholics. Stop buggering altar boys and maybe have all your priests and bishops, etc. do some sort of penance (that doesn't involve children) like cleaning up roadsides, and you'll have STARTED your way back.

17. Materialism?

MATERIALISM?

Can someone guess the cost of his get-up in that pic - which appears to be a very finely tailored, fur-trimmed, red-and-gilt prom dress. And don't forget his snappy custom-made shoes, consisting of separate outdoor and indoor footwear:

The Papal shoes are the red leather outdoor shoes worn by the Pope. They should not be confused with the indoor papal slippers...

The indoor papal slippers were made of red velvet or silk and were heavily decorated in gold braid, with a gold cross in the middle...
