4. Doctrine of Child Abuse
The pope continues to sanction the sexual abuse of children by refusing to challenge organised child rape

With Roman Catholicism becoming increasingly rigid, dogmatic and extreme with regards homosexuality, gender, HIV/AIDs and child abuse, this is an opportunity to voice your concerns.

Doctrinal postions of 21st Century Roman Catholicism

1. Doctrine of Death
The pope sentences millions of people to HIV infection and an early death in African and developing countries with his refusal to allow the promotion of condom use.

2. Doctrine of Homophobic hatred
The pope continues to incite homophobic hatred by refusing to with draw his statement that LGBT people are an intrinsically disordered and moral evil.

3. Doctrine of Misogyny
The pope continues to perpetuate sexism and gender a partite by refusing to allow women to ascend to the priesthood.

4. Doctrine of Child Abuse
The pope continues to sanction the sexual abuse of children by refusing to challenge organised

I think we should arrange a kiss-in outside Lambeth Palace when he visits on the 17th September and lectures all on . . .

” It is thought he is likely to repeat his criticism that the previous Labour Government “restricted religious freedom in the name of equality” – ie, restrict the employment practices of [...]“

…methinks Vuvuzela’s may be just the ticket!

T-shirts – with a line drawing of his holiness from behind, with the text “Kneel and Kiss My Ring!”

OR “Quick, his holiness his coming! Hide the children!!”

OR a line drawing of a human-sized cat, with it’s tongue taking a swipe up the side of the pope, with the text “Nothing beats a good Cat-Lick!”

OR pointy hats that look phallic.

I think that making fun of him is one way to strip him of his power. Show him to be the clown that he is. Although it is important to voice our anger at this man and his actions, and to pointedly criticize the negative effects of what he has done, we should also show him to be the idiot that he is. The FOOL, the court JESTER, the village IDIOT.

Write short skits and comedy sketches that can be performed on street corners and in pubs, by anyone with even a little talent.

Poetry devoted to this religious nutcase and his evil deeds.

Pictures of him holding a cross like you would a machine gun, pointed at the victims of his hate crimes.

Maybe even commemorative beers, “Rat poison” and instead of saying “cheers”, say “up your bum!”

OR put on those little red Prada shoes with your leather harnesses – go for the ‘world dominatrix’ look. Include a whip attached to the end of a small crucifix.

The idea of mass kiss-ins along any parade routes is good, too. I’m not sure I’d want to take the trouble to go into a church mass to do it. The only people who are likely to see it are the die-hard catholics, and on seeing it, they will not use any logic to see the error of their ways; they will only see us as crazies.

“In an end-of year address in 2008, the Pope said that the existence of gay people threatens humanity as much as the destruction of the rainforests does…” So, what is he doing about the destruction of the rainforests? Just think of what all the money could have done to make some positive changes to rainforest deforestation. But no, that would be productive. All he wants is to incite hatred among his own followers, hatred toward gays and other groups, because it is the use of this hatred that is the only thing that keeps them going.

Assassination? Not too fast; only the living can be tried, convicted, and sentenced.

It’s almost as if he’s inciting more hatred on purpose, so that he can get his own followers to feel sorry for him, then use that to increase support for his hateful actions toward those who have a different opinion than he does.

In any case, the church is on death’s door. It’s just too bad that it will take so many innocent casualties with it when it goes.

Yes, let’s hope there ARE “riots on the streets” come September. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world, if not millions, would rejoice on hearing news of it. It would be a world-first: the first rising up of the people against the self-perpetuated and self-aggrandising nonsense that is the church, and ANY church.

Let’s start making those placards now! Start getting those costumes together. Let’s fill the streets with hundreds of over-the-top popes in lavish and pompous Vatican get-up. Add at least another foot to the mitre! Slap on lashings of glitter. But most of all give the TV cameras and photographers some strong blunt and clearly readable messages to focus on!

However, I want to be the only person on here to actually THANK Chris Patten! I want to thank him for pouring PETROL on the bonfire and managing to enrage the ENTIRE gay community with his call for ´restraint´. Well done Chris!

“I wonder what Christ, the Christ who extolled the virtues of the meek and the poor, would say about ten to 100 MILLION pounds being spent so that a gold and jeweled adorned, silk, velvet and laced bedecked man, claiming to represent HIM, prances around the world while EVERY day millions of children, not to mention adults, starve and die of treatable diseases. How many of these children could 10,000,000 to 100,000,000 pounds save?”

This comment is SO true! It has long been my argument that if the catholic church was serious about being a force for good in the world, then they would start by giving up their billions and billions of wealth and investments to help to poor. They would turn their obscene church buildings into places of refuge for the poor and homeless. Charity begins at home.. Yet their homes show very little charity to others.

This makes me so mad reading this article. It just gets worse. I urge everyone to get mad also. If millions of our taxpayer money is going to be spent throwing a free party for the catholic church and it´s evil head, then we have every right to get mad, and to express it.

Lets use every chance to make this pope as welcome here, as WE would be in the vatican!

“Faith schools should be banned outright, on the grounds that grooming children to place their faith in a nonevidential supernatural world is unethical and educationally counterproductive towards raising normal well-adjusted people, and teaching children that fiction is fact, amounts to fraud.

Here’s an example of religious child grooming, please view this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppQhleVuWPM&NR=1” –
