Yeah, really.
You would have thought they'd hire Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter.
"Organizations like this one also have hundreds of active priests that endorse them. Perhaps the new Pope should defrock every one of them. It won't happen, but it would be good start."
John Paul the Great smacked down Bishop Snyder in Jacksonville for supporting "dignity". Made him stop it. He also accepted his resignation at age 70.
Statistically, it can't even be that high. Most demographers put the entire Homosexual population at 10% of the total (although you'd think its everybody you see on the news because the media loves them), thats about 26M people. 6M would be a little more that 1/4 of that total as Catholics. I don't believe the number of Catholics that are Practicing Homosexuals is that high.
as I put in a followup post, he thinks he's too conservative and tied to orthodoxy.
I heard NAMBLA does not approve of the new Pope either? (Sarcasm)

here's what dictionary.com has to say about that word.
"No entry found for homosexism"
The Church will not change its teachings to please anybody. The teachings are what they are. The Church cannot change them.
IMHO, folks associated with the groups cited in this article should be excommunicated immediately as heretics because thats what they are.
read my followup post and you'll get right back on the trail.
for all we know, the Pope could very well be a democrat.
The left is upset that the Pope is not an atheist or a moslem.
Balderdash.
reconciliation for the church's sins of abuse, sexism, racism, heterosexism and all oppression
The Church cannot sin.
Jesus' radical message of justice."
Huh?
Hi, Knitting:
So, the Gays, Lesbians and TGed are all PO'ed at the election of Bendedict XVI.
If these sinful idiots think that a Papal Election in a sequestered conclave can be either "lobbied" or "influenced". I wonder in what Paralell Universe they reside? It's obvious to them that the fix was in. Since the wrong man won.
Just how many Cardinals from the United States were part of the Papal Conclave?
My guess... None.
Sin is still sin. Either hideen in the shadows, or under brief bright spotlights.
Jack.
Der Panzer Kardinal. Der Panzer Papa.
I saw that afterwards.
Doesn't really say much other than parroting the MSM.
Failing any specifics, all you're saying is that your wife's boss would prefer the church to be more liberal and less orthodox.
Therefore, for all I know, he/she agrees wholeheartedly with the groups that this article is speaking about and may in no way be representative of the broader viewpoint of which you are offering him/her as an example.
There were 11 US cardinals, I believe. I don't know how anyone voted, but I know that some cardinal said that Benedict had more than enough votes so out of the 115 guys who voted for him he had more than 77 votes. But some how or other, I have a sneaky suspicion that Mahoney's last vote wasn't for him....
But it's time the dark agenda ran up against some walls. There are those of us not willing to validate their wonderfulness for them. Particularly since we see it and deem it not very wonderful at all.
I am surprised there is not a political cartoon describing the perfect pope for the left.
I remember the political cartoon describing Dukakis's perfect running mate, she was a black, homosexual, woman, who was a single mother, homeless, union member, envirnmentalist, etc. etc. etc.
Not because they want a happier, healthier, stronger church, I'll guarantee you that!
They would be selling condoms in the temple and performing sex rites inside. They should be driven from the temple.
I think they meant "heteronormativism." The GLBT gang jumped on some entertainer who spoke at Harvard saying women could have it all -- a great guy, a great job, etc. because she was "insensitive" and "heteronormative."
That's why I don't take the ones who sneer at the Episcopalians and Presbyterians too seriously. They've got their own attendance problems. They were just a LOT bigger to start with.
