The Pope is due to visit the UK this coming year and has announced his desire to see women locked up and enslaved as was the tradition within the Catholic church for many of its centuries of abuse of power.

Archbishop Nichols, the great British drag queen and ring kisser in charge of "Catholics for regression to the dark ages" said that the Pope was not trying to meddle in party politics, "...but he wants his reasoned voice - formed by the treasures of the Christian heritage which is deeply embedded in our culture - to be heard."
Ahhh....
bless his little perverted brain.
The very idea that the Pope, and this archbishop, or their Christian heritage, with its history of the inquisition, inequality, torturing, abusing bastard of a hierarchy, designed to comfort the rich and take from the poor, can have a "reasoned voice" is beyond a bad joke.

If people with Islamic names can be put on no fly lists as suspected terrorists, then surely these threats to our hard won secular freedoms should be simply banned from entering the country?

Of course, they will argue that they have said sorry about the centuries of female subjugation but this latest assault shouting about going against natural laws (as if child abuse was within those same laws)...is about being forced to allow those horrid gay people to be allowed to teach in their faith schools.

Why any gay person could be seen to be so desperate for a job as to want to work under the strictures of these homophobic Neanderthals is beyond me, but the law is there to create equality of opportunity ...
this is clearly a concept beyond the Pope's understanding.
This is also not surprising.
What is surprising is that we are still offering deference to something way beyond religious freedom in the fact of state support for any of these faith schools. Funding them in any part from general taxation is anathema to a modern free democratic society.

Maybe, just maybe, this will be the test, and create a rising up of public opinion that shows the government that its time to stop feeding these predatory priests their delusions with this gravy train of public funding.
