More likely the part of Pope Alexander VI, Rodrigo Borgia muriel_volestrangler Jun 2013 #12

I must have missed that ashling Jun 2013 #16

:-( Borgias all fini... lapislzi Jun 2013 #26

I disagree, he IS much like Irons Bluenorthwest Jun 2013 #30

Seriously? tavernier Jun 2013 #60

Biped is bumped tavernier Jun 2013 #61

Not going to the concert was a strange move, since everyone thinks he's lying about the reason muriel_volestrangler Jun 2013 #11

Maybe the paperwork came from one of the investigation teams rpannier Jun 2013 #15

A Straight people's person... Bluenorthwest Jun 2013 #31

Everywhere I go, there you are! MADem Jun 2013 #33

So I assume you also see the Pope as a homophobe and misogynist? theHandpuppet Jun 2013 #36

I see the entire Hierarchy as a failed institution. MADem Jun 2013 #41

Gee we are both on DU! Is arch implication part of your catechism? Apparently. Bluenorthwest Jun 2013 #40

Has any one ever told you that you shouldn't make assumptions about people? MADem Jun 2013 #42

Keep your lectures to yourself, I don't give a shit what you 'think'or say Bluenorthwest Jun 2013 #44

If you really didn't "give a shit" you wouldn't continually seek me out -- as you do -- and engage MADem Jun 2013 #48

Utter bullshit, your ego is huge, no one seeks you out. You posted that a bigot is a people Bluenorthwest Jun 2013 #51

You're doing it again--seeking me out, engaging in baseless attacks and personal insults. MADem Jun 2013 #58

Oh come on. What can be weird about the leader of a misogynist organization who wears dresses? panzerfaust Jun 2013 #24

Speaking of hypocrisy I presume you are a US citizen? denem Jun 2013 #43

What? You are promoting a bigoted religious figure you follow by choice. Bluenorthwest Jun 2013 #46

If you want bigoted homophobia look no further than the distinctively American denominations denem Jun 2013 #49

They are all corrupt apostate and hate filled. I've spoken at length on DU about McClurkin Bluenorthwest Jun 2013 #50

I am saying that as a citizen of the United States denem Jun 2013 #52

I am thinking this. Italy, the home of the Roman church denem Jun 2013 #57

Here is some fact for you. Fascist Italy declared homosexuality to be a social disease. Bluenorthwest Jun 2013 #63

Vatican is soverign, it is not Italy. Which passport do you carry? Bluenorthwest Jun 2013 #59

The vatican is not sovereign in matters of criminal law. denem Jun 2013 #62
