Open mouth, insert foot. Thank you, Pope Benedict, for telling Christians that they are not "true church." This is akin Hitler telling certain Germans that they are not "true Germans." Sound familiar?

People wonder why I left "the church" period! I am not a Christian, but am proud to be a Wiccan. Everyone must find his/her own path. No one person has the entire truth, nor can a white-robed (hmmm....sound familiar?) gentleman living in palatial halls tell a person that HIS church is the only true church and the only path to salvation. Salvation from what? From a woman's right to decide her own destiny and follow her conscience where her body is concerned. Salvation from a child being taught ALL theories of creation?
The article says it all. Thinking people from all walks of life should be outraged at this pronouncement. I am stunned and outraged and will let it stop with just that statement.

Yes, the Pope.
A man who has sworn off the pleasures of body and yet feels it necessary to tell women how they should behave with their bodies.
A man who has sworn never to get married and yet feels he should be able to tell other married couples how they should stay married no matter the misery AND how many children to have whether they can support them or not.
A man who has sworn himself to poverty but dines off of gold plates.
You never see the Pope or any of his followers in sack cloth and ashes, no, you see him in satins, brocades with gold thread embroidery.
The Catholic Church is nothing but a farce. It is led by hypocrites who have no idea what real life is like.
Just because the Church feels that all children are Catholic the moment their dads came is no reason to expect those children to actually believe in the papist clap trap.. you can count me as one of those.
Proudly, Purely Pagan.
I should add one more thing for those who have NO idea what it is like to be raised Irish Catholic, read Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt.
Although the book is about McCourt's own childhood in Limerick (I think) it very closely shadows American raised Irish Catholics as well.
Especially when your first American born mother feels she is more Irish than the Irish!
