Surprise- The Pope is a Catholic!

Alright, I admit I stole that line from somewhere when I read up on him.

A few days ago, the Pope spoke out and condemned not only gay marriage and abortion(which was to be expected), but also masturbation, premarital sex, and cohabiting before marriage.

Now I know most of them crazy fundamentalists in the American South aren't catholic, but masturbation and premarital sex are clearly condemned in the bible. Question is, why don't they put a law forward to ban premarital sex, making it illegal? And what about masturbation? Or cohabiting? That would be so easy to enforce! Every couple who wants to rent a place needs to provide documentation of marriage!

Oh, right, I know why. Because they don't like to have rights taken away from them, just like every fucking body else.

On that note, it is interesting to see that while the pope condemned all kinds of things, it is always the gay people that are picked on in headlines- read Dan Savage on this topic (It's the last column, but read all of them- they're quite interesting).

Oh, and Ratzinger- you are hereby a dead Kraut to me. Along with that nutcase Angela Merkel.
