54. The Pope has Zero credibility
The Catholic church has practically condoned abusing children (at least by their priests). The Pope, being its leader has done NOTHING about this. As a mother,- hell, as a human being this makes my skin crawl. So who the F***K does he think he is pushing this intolerant garbage? Ok, I'll accept his refusal to accept gay marriages based on his religious interpretations, but this new public assault is absolute bulllshit.

I'm so glad I found a sane church, the United Church of Christ. It's the only mainstream Protestant church (that I know of) that will conduct gay marriages. One of my pastors married his partner in our church. I wish I knew WHY married folks felt that their marriages would be so threatened or cheapened if gays could have legal unions. Because I really think this hysteria about gay unions has straight folks feeling really insecure. Perhaps they don't want to encourage monogomy in the gay community? Must be.
