DO NOT PRAY FOR THIS POPE!

My Way News

In addition to this, here two more press reference quickly scanned from the net:

Memoria e identità
Il libro, il quinto di Giovanni Paolo II, avrà edizioni in 14 lingue oltre all'italiano.In uno dei passaggi destinati a suscitare maggiore dibattito, il Papa definisce l'aborto come un nuovo Olocausto, denuncia per altro già ribadita in diverse occasioni. Il pontefice ricorda lo "sterminio legale degli essere concepiti e non ancora nati", uno "sterminio deciso addirittura da parlamenti eletti democraticamente". Nel libro, si legge inoltre delle "gravi forme di violazione della legge di Dio", tra cui mette le "forti pressioni del parlamento europeo" sulle "unioni omosessuali" riconosciute "come una forma alternativa di famiglia". "È lecito e anzi doveroso - scrive il papa - porsi la domanda se qui non operi ancora una nuova ideologia del male, forse la più subdola e celata, che tenta di sfruttare, contro l'uomo e contro la famiglia, perfino i diritti dell'uomo".

Pope: "Traditional Family" Trumps Human RightsIn a new book, "Memory and Identity"
Pope John Paul II accuses European lawmakers of acting out of an ideology of evil by advocating for marriage equality for gay men and lesbians.
"In one section about the role of lawmakers, the Pope takes another swipe at gay marriages when he refers to 'pressures' on the European Parliament to allow them.
'It is legitimate and necessary to ask oneself if this is not perhaps part of a new ideology of evil, perhaps more insidious and hidden, which attempts to pit human rights against the family and against man,' he writes."
The Pope fails to explain how human rights could constitute an "ideology of evil" or how efforts to secure marriage equality -- which have involved years of public discussion -- could be "hidden."

With this type of reactionary, anti-englightenment ideology, this pope proves what a reactionary anti-humanist is leading the organization of fundamentalists called the "Catholic Church".
I will not be praying for this pope: there is no reason whatsoever to hope he ever leaves the hospital it is reported he reentered today.
The world WILL NOT be worse off without him!
