Pope lashes out at Canada

Oh the horror! Imagine an entire nation having to cope with all that tolerance and freedom.

That man's values are utterly, utterly repugnant. Talk about institutionalized bigotry. It's shameful.

Toronto Star article

Has it ever been any different? Not just this man. His predecessors were of the same mindset.

I really cant see mainstream bavarian catholics accepting this sort of thing when he comes here, surely he will have to tone things down, wont he?

On the other hand, if the local bavarian catholics do in fact think along the same lines as him, it would be pretty interesting being there hearing them applause this guy, talk about sending shivers down my spine...

The popes some fag. jesus!

this was not meant to insult people who are homosexual. The word fag was used as cheep humor of little intelligence and should not be taken seriously. I also apologize for potentially grouping anybody with the pope, nobody deserves that

Ahhhh. I do like a bit of good old pope bashing.

I am currently raising an army in his Holiness name. Canada has been asking for it with its health insurance for all and "look with have no crime " arrogance. Pompous bastards.

"Blame Canada!, Blame Canada!"

Proof that the Pope and Satan AND Saddam Hussein, really are in cahoots after all!

Wouldnt that include most americans? dont they blame canada for a lot of things? BSE comes to mind... or am I just misinterpreting cross-border antagonism for scapegoatism..?

well, don't blame us for the Pope!! ;-)

Holy Hosers

No, the Ami's are blaming us now for selling drugs over the internet (Bush says they are substandard and trying to make it illegal) and illegally bringing fruit into the country!

Well, so the Pope has issues with us now! Fine, we can impose a Visa on him now!

Actually, this Pope is different. Ratboy sent out a message that if any Catholic voted for John Kerry, they would be commiting a sin because Kerry is pro-choice. Ratboy also wrote some of the most repressive prelates in like forever. JP came down on the side of evolution being a part of the divine plan and now ratboy wants to pursue ID and go back on some of the stuff JP did.

Well you can see the result of Canada being so tolerant - what with all the crime and the anarchy in the country. It's obviously so eroded the country as an attractive place to want to live...

I figure the pope has watched other religious fundamentalists sucessfully grab political power and wants a piece of the action. Nothing like insulting an entire nation to grab some headlines -- and invite contempt.

As for the "blame Canada" thing, it comes from a song in a South Park movie and is supposed to be ironic. Canada has a pretty positive image around the world, while the US -- right or wrong -- generally doesn't at this point in time. A very few people actually take it seriously, either because they're jealous or witless. But that's ok, then the joke is on them


Now that's the weirdest statement I've seen yet!

The comments to the Globe & Mail (national newspaper) article on it are a great read.

It was a tough pick, but this is my favourite:

No, just mixing up cows and goats.

Or comparing Nova Scotia versus Vancouver

Not as much as you like Bashing your Bishop... apparently

It was supposed to be sarcastic...

@gills- I read some of the comments there on the G+M page, wow, people have come back fighting. Love it. Makes me proud to be a Canadian.

Clearly the american gene for not getting sarcasm has spread north of the border...blame...uh i dunno...george bush

Just got an email from south of the border from a none tter who read my post and got insulted this is a very odd world we live in.

The Pope is right again.

Only in yours and Pope's opinion there Badbob.

I am proud to be Canadian. Even more when we keep pissing off people like Bush and the Pope with our 'liberal' laws.

-Pope Benedict XVI, Munich, September 10, 2006

how can a 'non TTer' read your post? I would have assumed that anyone who uses the site could be classified as a TTer. I guess you could limit the definition to members and then I might just let you get away with it

Can the mods please change the thread title to "Man in a dress whips Canadians".

Thank you.

@boomtown- I read its as 'another' with a typo.

Maybe it was a 'nun TTer'.

So everyone has to respect what the church stands for, but of course the catholic church doesn't have to be tolerant towards anyone else.

Typical...

and the Catholic church should 'respect' my rights to marry my lesbian lover and have an abortion.

Hazza, Hazza, Hazza, tisc tisc. I like Notre Dame football. And the CFL sucks Although Canada does produce some nice hockey players.

What was the subject again?

Hey we got BIGGER BALLS!

The pope can lash out at whomever he wants. It won't make me listen any more. He might as well be Osama Bin Laden.
