giving dogs a bad name .....
Pope Benedict XVI, known as the 'Rottweiler' for his hardline views, shows no sign of softening his attitude towards male homosexuality. In his Christmas address, he chose to build on a claim that he made two years ago – that gay men destroyed themselves - with the assertion that homosexual and transsexual behaviour could lead to the destruction of the human race. http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/people,1783,pope-says-gays-could-end-human-race,65268

hark the christmas angel .....
The Christmas angel tells us: "Fear not, for I bring you good news of great joy for all people."
The pope, on the other hand, has been using this Christmas season to spread entirely the opposite message, a message of fear and exclusion that seems more bad news than good.
For, apparently, gay people threaten the existence of the planet in a way that is comparable to the destruction of the rainforest. I guess the idea is that if we all were gay, then we wouldn't be making any babies. Yes, it's a bit like saying that if we all were to become celibate priests we wouldn't be making any babies either.
Except that would mean the Catholic church has itself become a threat to the planet. OK, that's a cheap shot. But the Holy Father has the ability to put even a vicar like me in touch with their inner Polly Toynbee.
