Pope Francis Silly in the US: #3 : Gay Rights is Colonization (**facepalm**)

[Yorktown]

Africa is the continent where Christianity is gaining market share.

It is also the continent where Christianity is hardcore and bareknuckled.

To cut a long story short, Christ seems to want the death penalty for African gays.

Uganda is likely to pass a law within months that will make homosexuality a capital offence, joining 37 other countries in the continent where American evangelical Christian groups are increasingly spreading bigotry

Francis could have leveraged his UN speech to preach more tolerance.

Not to mention, restrain his African flock. Did he try to help put the fire out?

Ya betcha: he took potshots at the firefighters:

Family in UN Address

(Pope Francis) condemned “ideological colonization” as he had done in the encyclical Laudato Si, in a reference to basing aid to poor countries on their acceptance of population control and other focuses offensive to their people and against domestic laws like homosexual rights.

Why would the Catholic Church care about African gays? What counts is doctrinal purity.

Catholics want to revive Uganda’s ‘kill gays’ bill

Uganda’s Catholic bishops are calling for the revival of the notorious ‘kill the gays’ bill, despite previously opposing it.
The Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which calls for the execution of gays in the African country, was effectively shelved last year by the government, following sustained pressure from international donor countries.

See? The anti-gay Bill was shelved thanks to foreign “ideological colonization”

Thank Jesus, Catholic bishops reversed that colonization and gays can now be burned.

Yay!

1. this, of course, is the same person who lauded the US bishops for their "COURAGE" in

dealing with the sexual abuse scandals in the rcc.

2. I find you unreceptive to doctrinal purity

If the Pope says doctrinal purity is more important than a few African gays, it's OK.

After all, he's the Pope. He must know.

Right?

3. so is the catholic church gonna bring back burning at the stake? nt

4. But.... The fuckwit's own religion spreads by ideological colonization.

How can he not see what catholic missionaries have done to cultures around the world? Hell, the sonofabitch APOLOGIZED for some of it. The hell?!

5. But it's ok when he and his church do it.

Because they're right. Always. Just ask them.
