The Pope has a raft of Don Drapers all his own. Bluenorthwest Nov 2013 #52

Once again you verge on accusing someone of being anti-gay. All the DU'er you responded to did KittyWampus Nov 2013 #65

I am directly saying that Francis is anti gay and that spouting Catholic dogma does not excuse that. Bluenorthwest Nov 2013 #68

And I came back to add this: if you don't want to talk about the politicss of the Pope, don't make Bluenorthwest Nov 2013 #74

For someone who purports to be such a know-it-all on this topic, you are incredibly defensive! MADem Nov 2013 #98

"Everyone here"... Ohio Joe Nov 2013 #102

Now you purport to know the bona fides of "everyone here" on DU! MADem Nov 2013 #112

Yes... I assume all of DU is for equal rights Ohio Joe Nov 2013 #115

Now you pretend that people who are pleased at the Pope's progress are not "for equal rights." MADem Nov 2013 #117
