Though it's scary to agree with this Pope so often...this one isn't his quote...

160. Let me try to explain...

"You just said that you have no recommendations for such a position and instead would recommend they all go home and stop playing pretend with fairy tales. Fair enough. I take that this means you regard the whole affair as being of pretty great unimportance."

I am an atheist. I regard religion as a waste of personal time and pox on society. That said, I don't deny that millions will follow anything said by the pope no matter how stupid. So as it will cause people to think and act, it does matter.

"Yet here you are, arguing constantly - apparently ignorantly as well though I confess, I'm not at all brushed up on Catholic doctrine myself"

Ignorant? I give a cite for everything I've claimed, I don't see that from the other side... In fact, I don't see anything being cited.

"as if having a woman cardinal were of supreme, paramount importance of the highest order to you."

Supreme importance... No. It would have been an action that would have shown this pope to be serious about bringing the church out of it's misogynistic ways instead of just more talk.

Every day we get the pope of the day thread that tries to justify why this guy is suddenly making the church a liberal organization that we should all be celebrating. The pope and his church are misogynistic, homophobic and continue to protect pedophile from prosecution. I see no reason they should get any good words from any liberals.
