I think he's a huge hypocrite. When he took Easter mass a few days ago, he said that we shouldn't care about things like "Materialism". This came from the man sitting on a giant golden throne, on a balcony overlooking thousands of screaming people and lives in a huge marble palace. Recently, he went to Africa, and told the people that if you wear a condom you have a bigger chance of catching and STD. Is he real?
But what do you think? Is he God's gift to the people, or do you think he's rubbish like me?
Maybe he doesn't care about his gold throne.
Also, I hate him for more important things, like the condoms in Africa thing. He's the embodiment of the catholic church .
So very very very true.
Oh, and the whole thing where he tried to pretend the last pope had agreed with evolution, that burned me. Ok, that, your point, and the fact that in his previous big speech, rather than call for the world to combat aids, povetry, disease, etc, he called on the world to fight 'gayness' (homosexually).
Chief agmonst my dislikes of the pope are (see what I did there?):
* The hypocricy of being quite rich whilst decrying materialism.
* His 'holyness's' 'condoms won't help the Africans' bullshit.
* The attempts to retreat from the theory of evolution (not the hypothesis of evolution, which would be deniable)
* The popes preference towards bashing 'gays' over helping people.
* Everything else!
