Today on my way to my work I did read in a newspaper that the pope did undo the ex-communication of 4 bishops of the conservative Pius X, one of these bishops has denied the murdering of Jews during the second worldwar in the gaschambers of the Nazi’s. In my opinion this is outrageous.
In the same newspaper I read that pope claims that suicide is not the right solution for incurable diseased people or for long term coma patients. So this pope is in favor of people letting suffering of diseases that kill them day by day? And he wants to press a heavy burden on people with relatives who have been for many and many years in coma and for who that change of waking is very slightly? And if the later does happen the chance in (mental) damage is enormous? Where is compassion and caring in that? I would almost call it cruel and brute.
In my opinion only the person himself/herself have something to say about their own lives, specially when there are incurable diseases. Only exceptions are matters as long term coma’s patients, where the closest relatives have to say something.
Sure, specially in the last mentioned matter, people should checked firmly for the protection of the person who it is about. But that a matter of laws… and not religion.
Then today I also read on the Internet that the pope has appointed an assistant bishop who claims that the Harry Potter movies are satanic… I mean, what the **censored**. We are talking here about fantasy movies to watch for enjoyment. In that way of thinking all fantasy, SF and romans are easily to call satanic, which is of course a complete joke!
As said, this Catholic Church doesn’t belong in this age anymore…. because as far as I know we have left the Dark Middle Ages way behind us…
Well Rob, you know how I think about religion. As far as I can tell religion has done nothing to me then harm. Sadly I have to say that this goes for most religions.
I am what and who I am. Is that so hard to accept without calling me sick or a threat?
For my view look at my blog for my latest entry.
Unfortunate this is old news, when go they to learn what modern world views are.. Never I suppose.
Cu,
