I was going to point out a bunch of his logical and factual errors, but there were just too many to be bothered. Here’s just one example:

It seems that on this all-important issue, John Paul was not infallible.

No Catholic believes that the Pope’s opinion on all issues is infallible, jackass.

Is it too much to ask that liberal blowhards learn about an issue before they spout off their stupid opinions about it?

Major barf alert, IMO!

'Is it too much to ask that liberal blowhards learn about an issue before they spout off their stupid opinions about it?'

Yes, probably.

100 million people were killed by Communist China's economic policies. China's policies were promoted as being economic justice, redistributing wealth to the poor. Therefore, anyone who advocates giving money or aid to the poor is responsible for a hundred million deaths.

You idiot. Then they wouldn't be liberals. (hands dead a cluepon)

[FormerLib]

This poor soul is consumed with hatred.

If the Pope has permitted condoms in Africa, millions would not have died from AIDS. Yeah, right.

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

[Oztrich Boy]

Can't see the author's problem. Apart from his oppsoition to abortion, the Pope was pretty sound on all the correct left-wing postions.

I know this is from Australia, but did anyone else catch the AP new-and-improved alternative story lead example?

much of it as coded

You'd almost think this was a Ron Fournier piece.

Sister Helen Prejean convinced the Pope to oppose the death penalty in any circumstances.

WHAT?????!!!!! I'm sure this is news to Sister Helen.

[madprof98]

Millions of men, women and born and unborn children are on the death row of AIDS.

The libs get all confused when they try to write more than just a short and witty slogan. Here the writer ends up appearing sympathetic to "unborn children," who presumably might have been saved from AIDS if their parents had used condoms. (Of course, if the parents had used condoms, presumably the unborn children wouldn't exist at all - hence, no need to abort them away!)

[Rutles4Ever]

The backlash cometh. Idiots unite!

This reads like some highschooler hacked into the computer network and posted his term paper.

[Lady Heron]

Millions of men, women and born and unborn children are on the death row of AIDS. Denied that right to life, they've been condemned to deaths far crueller than anything the gas chamber or electric chair has to offer.

Gee, and if they had followed the Bible and abstained from sex or gotten married and stayed faithful I guess they would not have AIDS to begin with. So somebody explain how this was the Popes fault?

How do these people think the Church can be faithful if it is not allowed to address the moral issues demanded in the Bible of her people???

So from this article is see we are to kill the babies and the defective living and bow down to the gay community and let women preach. Ok thanks for playing, but we get that every night on tv.

[ohioman]

I am not even Catholic and I'd like to kick this guy's ass.

[Casloy]

Obsessing over the life and death of the fetus

Yeah, silly Pope, imagine obsessing over millions of dead unborn babies.

[MEGoody]

Oh sure. . .the Pope personally planted those bombs and injected people with the AIDS virus.

The author is a moron.

[siunevada]

Many of them, Catholics and non-Catholics alike, could and should have been saved....All it needed was for John Paul to change his policy on the condom.

Yes. Millions of non-Catholics are strictly obedient to all the teachings of the pope.

It's fun to build a straw man and knock it down.

[Know your rights]

And on John Paul's watch the abortion issue, particularly in the US, exceeded boiling point as Catholic zealots linked with Pentecostal terrorists in the bombing of clinics and the murder of doctors.

Would the author also claim that ant-logger violence discredits the entire ecological movement, or does he only selectively apply his "principle" of tarring with a broad brush?
