Is the Pope Catholic? You Know, I Mean Catholic Enough?
Okay, when you can out-Catholic the Pope, you might want to reconsider your position.
The Pope said he feels that the Catholic Church (and by that he means all Christians) needs to apologize to gay people, the poor, “to women who have been exploited, to children forced into labor, apologize for having blessed so many weapons.”
Yeah, he’s saying we’re sinners and should stand in judgment of exactly no one.
Oh hell, no, says Bill Donohue, the president of the Catholic League.
“No,” Donohue said on CNN’s “New Day” Tuesday when asked if he would apologize. “As a matter of fact, I want an apology from gays. I’ve been assaulted by gays. I’ve never assaulted a gay person in my entire life.”
Bless his heart, he does know that assault doesn’t have to be physical, right?
Let me give you an example of assault. While being interviewed on teevee filled with righteous indignation, Donohue proudly took part in this exchange ….
“Can you show me where Jesus said we should spend time saying we should not let people be who they are and what they’re about?” Cuomo asked.
“There are mobster lifestyles,” Donohue replied, noting that he would condemn violent lifestyles.
See, when you go on teevee and compare gay people to mobsters, that’s an assault. The Pope is telling you, “Don’t do that crap.”
I hear there’s an opening in the choir at Kim Davis’ church. Maybe he’d be happier there.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
