Striving Against Opposition

Pope declares "Left liberalism" new "ideology of evil"

No seriously..I'm not making this up. The Pope explicitly states that gay marriage is part of a "new ideology of evil".

"It is legitimate and necessary to ask oneself if this is not perhaps part of a new ideology of evil, perhaps more insidious and hidden, which attempts to pit human rights against the family and against man," he writes.

He also has nice things to say about the left's other hobby-horse abbortion.

"There is still, however a legal extermination of human beings who have been conceived but not yet born," he writes.

"And this time we are talking about an extermination which has been allowed by nothing less than democratically elected parliaments where one normally hears appeals for the civil progress of society and all humanity," he writes.

Now, I'm not Catholic but you have to like the Pope. After all I'm genuinely in favour of any particular individual that was so hated by the former Soviet Union that they actually plotted to assassinate him. He also strikes me as a fairly wise man. However, looking at what he's said he's basically declaring the socialist-secular humanist-cultural relevist faction "evil" - not just wrong, not misguided, not delusional, not silly - EVIL.

I'm okay with that. Hey Pope..we haven't had a Crusade in a while can we destroy the evildoers? Please?

As if this isn't a gift for name calling and comedians everywhere for example, who doesn't want to say "Hey, Joe Clark I just read the Pope's new book and he says your evil."
