Pope's visit challenged in Australia - 20 July 2008

2008-10-28T03:30:20Z

Thousands of Roman Catholics attended a mass on Sunday led by Pope Benedict XVI in Sydney, Australia's largest city.

The service also marked the culmination of World Youth Day, an event the church hopes reached out to young followers, but Al Jazeera's Hamish Macdonald reports his visit had proved to be a challenge.

Pope Urges Solution to the Broken Immigration System

2008-04-19T22:13:02Z

As I pedaled away at the stationary bicycle this morning, I flipped through the channels to see what was on CNN News. At the moment, I was lucky to see the beginning of the mass Pope Benedict was leading at the Nationals Park. The CNN commentators were sure that the Pope would address various issues during his homily, including a Spanish version to the Latin American families present at the ceremony.

Pope Benedict, according to the Associated Press, urged the American government to adopt fair legislation for the millions of immigrants who are out of status. More importantly, he stressed that immigrants should be treated humanely.

Despite the peaceful advice from the Pope, Tom Tancredo slammed the Pope's call for fair immigration reform. He descredits the Pope's message by merely arguing that the main interests of the Pope is to increase church membership by using the issue of immigration. He calls the Pope's schemes "faith-based marketing." Nothing more is expected from Tom.

In my opinion, the Pope's call for reform during today's mass will certainly be noticed by most Christians. It's not just a scheme to increase church membership--many Christians do believe that a reasonable way to deal with the broken immigration system should be crafted.

Pope expected to apologize in US

2008-10-22T21:31:28Z

Apr 14 - Pope Benedict is likely to say sorry over the pedophile priest scandal that rocked the US Catholic Church, say experts. While he may keep his nose out of U.S. election year politics, he'll likely dabble in geopolitics by calling for peace in the Middle East in his address before the United Nations. Fred Katayama reports from New York.

Pope thinks gay and unwed couples threaten world peace

2008-10-21T03:30:36Z

Pope Benedict is against loving thy loved one:

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict ushered in the New Year on Tuesday by criticizing policies that undermine the traditional family, saying they eroded one of the most important foundations for peace in the world.
The Pontiff, delivering a traditional New Year prayer for peace, appeared to take a swipe at efforts in several countries to grant legal recognition to gay and unwed couples -- although he did not single out any policies by name.

We better duck and cover! True love increases the threat of a nuclear holocaust!

He said the traditional family led by a husband and wife instilled values that promote peace, and added it was an "irreplaceable" institution.
"Those who are hostile, even unknowingly, to the institution of the family ... make peace fragile for the entire national and international community," the Pope told crowds gathered in a sunny St. Peter's Square.

It's so obvious! Unwed and gay couples reek of hostility, especially against families. I haven't met a same-sex couple yet who hasn't said to me, "You know, Laffy, family life is despicable. My partner and I were just on our way out to buy a couple of missile launchers and some ammo. This is war! And furthermore, we're passing out fliers at every Target store in the area that say so! Grrrrrrrr.

And it's catching. The more I think about it, the more I realize that I can barely stand next to a loving gay couple without it making me want to join the Taliban.

"The family is the primary agent of peace and the negation or even the restriction of rights of the family ... threatens the very foundations of peace."

Someone get Condi Rice on the phone. It's time for a summit. And shhh, nobody tell Larry Craig, Mark Foley, Rudy Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, David Vitter, or Bob Allen, but the CIA's after all of them, too, for complicity to end world peace.

Hey, wouldn't it be ironic if, say, gay sex was discovered at the Vatican? Nah, that could never happen.
