Well, if the Pope says it, it gots to be true

My theory is that the Pope is basically useless, but that's just me:

A suggestion by Pope Benedict XVI that homosexuality is as much of a threat to the survival of the human race as climate change sparked outrage among gay rights campaigners on Tuesday.
"It's the latest homophobic attack by this pope," said Gustav Hofer, co-director of a documentary on the life of a gay couple in Italy called "Suddenly Last Winter".

"The Vatican talks about homosexuality or transsexuality as if it were a whim, never as suffering," Hofer told AFP, adding that the Roman Catholic Church "reduces sexual orientation to the sexual act as if it had nothing to do with a person's identity." [afp]

Rick Warren sucks and is too useless but Obama either thinks he needs him, or thinks it's cool to have a super religious white friend, and either way is cool, if you're into that. I'm not a judge, dude! [on top]
