Say Nope to Pope





Shame on the Pope and the catholic church for the hundreds of child abuse victims he/they brushed under the papal carpet. FOURTEEN of the 22 Catholic priests convicted of sexually abusing children in England and Wales since 2001 are still listed as members of the clergy, according to press reports.

Whilst he sits on a vast array of wealth and riches like Jabba the Hut, there are millions living in poverty in the world. The catholic church was built on the pillage of indigenous peoples and remains today far removed from the trials and tribulations of ordinary mortals.

If the pope had anything about him, he'd out all those corrupt, kiddy-fiddling clergymen so they could face justice. He'd actively promote contraception in impoverished countries across Africa and do something to halt the stampede of AIDS. He'd give his blessing to gay couples who want to adopt. He'd welcome women into the clergy. And moreover he'd distribute some of that vast wealth to help the poor and needy.

Being an aggressive atheist in a third world country is far better than being a hypocritical despot living in a gilded cage!
