Why my Catholicism has lapsed...
So yet another delightful action taken by our Hitler Youth Pope Benedict. So it was bad enough that the College of Cardinals picked a former Nazi-collaborating Hitler Youth to replace a member of the Polish anti-Nazi resistance (John Paul II), but now this wacko is promoting wackos. The most recent news is that he is promoting an Austrian priest named Gerhard Wagner to Bishop. This priest (like several evangelical whackos in the US) declared the New Orleans flood to be God's punishment on the "sinful city." This would be just another small fry thing... but it comes on the heals of this travesty:
After Vatican II reformed the Catholic church to make it more accessible and friendly to all people a group of hard-core nuts decided that though they fully supported and believed in the "holy mother church"- assumingly including the doctrine of Papal Infallibility- they didn't believe in doing this, and thus, though they are fundamentalist believers who should thus follow the Pope's lead this was not something for them to believe or follow. They believed more in the rituals and practices than in the Pope and so they rejected them and protested. Well, they were excommunicated, which would seem a harsh circumstance for a different of opinion but not surprising given the history of the church, a history these ex-communicants cherished so greatly. Well, part of their rejection was the reconcilliation with Jews including John Paul II's apology for centuries of violence and anti-Semitism on behalf of the church. One leading member, a Bishop, of this splinter group is a vocal Holocaust denier. Another member is of course Mel Gibson, a drunken "Jewish Conspiracy" activist son of a Holocaust denier (though people loved his Jesus snuff film a good deal). Well Pope Benedict, former Hitler Youth, and promoter of Austrian hate-mongers has now removed the ex-communication order from these Holocaust-denying freaks in the spirit of "forgiveness" without addressing their hateful, anti-Semitic ways. So as a result the Catholic Church continues to be compromised, more concerned with reconciling with Catholic hate-mongers, than non-Catholic victims of those hate-mongers. Lucky for me I am not one of those "Old Believers" so I KNOW the Pope is NOT infallible and his current actions prove to me that he is most likely off his nut, or has thoroughly taken in the Dick Cheney metaphor that "we make history," so thus he didn't have to worry about anything or about anyone who is warped and rejected by the hateful ways of those whom he promotes...
