DUBLIN, March 27, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Irish Senator David Norris, the first openly homosexual politician elected in Ireland, has compared Pope Benedict XVI to Hitler for the Catholic Church's stand against homosexuality.
Speaking of the Pope, Norris said he would refuse to take "moral instructions from a man with a swastika on his arms." The reference is an apparent allusion to the forced involvement of Joseph Ratzinger as a youth with the Hitler youth. (see info on this here: http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/apr/05041906.html )
The Senator who is actively anti-Catholic and according to some reports has been identified as taking part in the controversial anti-Catholic Orange marches, refused to back down from his comments. He said that the teachings of the Catholic Church on homosexuality are "in line with the prejudices that included Hitler and Himmler".
Those teachings, which adhere to traditional Christian moral teachings from the time of Christ, determine homosexual acts as "acts of grave depravity" and the homosexual inclination as "objectively disordered".

Why would a leftist claim the Pope was a raving leftist?
"How many divisions does the Pope have?

No.
What can you reasonably expect from a guy who confuses an exit for an entrance?
I think he just paved his road to he hockysticks.
If it isn't President Bush being branded a 'hilter' its the Pope....do they any other words in their grammer than 'hilter' or are they referring to 'hillary'?????
Yeah, yeah, everyone that isn't you is Hitler. This nonsense is getting more than a little bit stale.
Homos are Hitler.
Gays are Gestapo.
Fags are Fascists.
Queers are Quislings.
Lesbians are Lebensraum.
Dykes are Deutschland Uber Alles.
There. I think I covered all of them with 1930's era dictatorial German tags.
They could call them Stalin, or Mao...they both out killed more of their own citizens.
He probably looks forward to each year's over 40 physical.
Now Bush and the Pope have something in common.
Why don't they just save a lot of time and trouble and just put out a statement saying that everyone who doesn't agree with their agenda, and that they should have access to our children, is just like "Hitler."
It's about the only comparison they use, anymore. Apparently, their study of history was quite brief.
Just fired off an e-mail to some friends in Ireland.
I'll check back tomorrow with an answer.
