• Pope Ratzinger

  So Pope Ratzinger is going to retire now.  He cites old age, and diminishing physical and mental capabilities as his reason for retiring. 

  OK so I’m not Catholic, and as a result I don’t closely follow what the Pope is doing, nor do I see him as an authority.  That being said, I would like to critique some of the things he did that were mentioned in the article:

  “But his trip to Germany also prompted the first major crisis of his pontificate. In a university lecture he quoted a 14th century Byzantine emperor as saying Islam had only brought evil to the world and that it was spread by the sword.”

  –Which is completely true.  It has brought only evil, and it was spready by conquest. Everywhere Islam has gone civilizations and cultures have been destroyed and replaced by barbarism.  The unparalleled Byzantine Empire was destroyed by them and replaced with that garbage country Turkey.

  “After protests that included attacks on churches in the Middle East and the killing of a nun in Somalia, the Pope later said he regretted any misunderstanding the speech caused.”

  –So after the Muslims proved that what he said was completely true, he apologized to them.  Those people are such barbarians. 

  “In a move that was widely seen as conciliatory, in late 2006 he made a historic trip to predominantly Muslim Turkey and prayed in Istanbul’s Blue Mosque with a Turkish Mufti.”

  –Now this part really blows my mind.  How do you pray with a Muslim?   If only that were a sick joke rather than a sick reality.   Islam is a totally different religion, with a different god, a different set of beliefs, a different set of values, and a different path to salvation.  So when they prayed together did they pray to Allah or YHWH?  I would like to know that.  Did the Pope mention Jesus when he prayed with that guy?  Probably not, because that would be considered blasphemy by the Muslims, and he would just end up offending them more.  I mean, why would he do that?  To me it seems like a show of subservience.  You wouldn’t catch me going into any Mosque to pray to Allah. 

  “But months later, former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami met the Pope and said wounds between Christians and Muslims were still “very deep” as a result of the Regensburg speech.”

  –Aww, boo-hoo.  Christians around the world have to put up with so much crap from Muslims, and they never apologize to us for a single thing.  Christians have to deal with random attacks and killings, institutional discrimination, forced conversions, rapes, kidnapping and forced marriage of Christian women to Mooslime men, and churches getting vandalized and destroyed.  If anyone has the deep wounds and a reason to be angry it’s us.  Muslims are not the innocent victims here, they are the aggressors.  What if Pisslam got made fun of by popular entertainment and the media as much as Christianity, or even half as much?  What then?  They would go insane with rage.  For the record, I think that we should make fun of Islam.  They need to have their attitude adjusted.  I guarantee they will behave better after a firm smackdown.

  So here is my advice to the next Pope:  Don’t do what this guy did with the Mooslimes, and by that I am of course talking about placating and sucking up to them.  They are not your congregation, and in fact they are pagan moon worshipping cultists.  You are not responsible for their behavior.  It’s not your job to show subservience, or to please them.  If the goal is to convert them then you don’t convince someone to convert by telling them that their own beliefs are completely correct.  Doing stuff like that makes you seem like less of a spiritual leader and more of a politician/goof/clown.  That’s not leadership, it’s politics.
