more Papal bull

[ArmsMerchant]

Pope Benedict (who finally reached his level of incompetance, his last job being that of Grand Inquisitor) seems to be making still another effort to be divisive, unevolved, and fear-based. I didn't see the whole story, but according to the wire service brief, he recently said, in effect, kiss my ring or go to hell.

That is, he "reasserted the primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, approving a document released Tuesday that says other Christian communities are either defective or not true churches and Catholicism provides the only true path to salvation. The statement brought swift criticism from Protestant leaders."

As well it should.

The sooner that everyone (or at least a sizable minority of us) realizes that we are All One, and that no person, religion, nation, gender, sexual orientation or whatever is better than any other, the sooner that war, poverty and homelessness will cease to exist.
