Why is Pope Benedict XVI so preoccupied with condoms? He’s got a nestfull of pedophiles and should be trying to figure out what attracts them to the institution over which he yields absolute power. If he was really concerned for the members of his flock, he’d be telling Cardinal Mahoney to hand over those records so that the criminals that he’s enabling can be brought to trial. Might he be afraid of the truth? After all, he’s just come off of a stint as Guardian of the Faith (formerly known as the Grand Inquisitor). Hey, Pope Benedict, enough of these condoms, go back to your Gay-bashing. Diversionary tactics fit you best.

Last year I got a request from a Catholic agency for money for AIDs victims. I sent them this reply: since you won’t allow condoms, putting you in charge of AIDs victims would be like putting sheep in charge of a wolf pack.
Nothing has changed. The Catholic Church is the most evil institutiion in history after the Nazi SS.

I keep saying “incredible” over and over again. This benighted old man and his medieval institution is going to ponder the weighty issue of condom use? I’m not sure this planet is going to deal successfully with the expected 9 billion humans by 2050. Certainly this institutional anachronism in Rome is one of the dangers to the planet.
