the pope can go fuck himself

I was born a catholic. I utterly renounce and reject the catholic religion with every cell in my body. I left Ireland hating my country because it was run by the catholic church. It controlled us through fear and guilt. It let young girls die in fields giving birth and rapists go free. It stopped us speaking out. It stopped us thinking. It helped that we were poor. We couldn’t travel much and we stewed in their lies. Then we got cashed up and traveled and broadened our minds. The church died in the face of truth. We were not afraid to speak any more. Words started to slip, the rapes the torture the humiliation was put out on the line for all to see. I was angry. I got over it.
But then..
Aids spread like wildfire through Africa and the developing world and the catholic church and its related “relief” agencies spoke out against the use of condoms.
In the last week the Pope has managed to piss off and insult Jewish people and protestants. He had already insulted Islam. Just as we are getting it together up north and trying to heal old wounds this pontificating asshole drives a wedge into the bloody sore. I don’t think the catholic church could survive if all the religions got along. It has historically been every adept at divide and conquer. My blood boiled.
Today was the last straw. The Vatican is now telling catholics to withdraw support for amnesty because it supports abortion in rape and incest cases. This is after it withdrew support from UNICEF for handing out post intercourse spermicide to teenage girls in refugee camps who had been raped.
And now the Vatican is speaking out against modern feminism…it must have got bored telling gay people they are evil.
And while I’m at it Mel Gibson can go fuck himself too…
