> The Pope as Rabble-Rouser

22 September 2006, 22:45

I have no sympathy for anyone in the HOly Roman Catholic Church. It is neither Holy nor Roman. We remember the thousands of people killed in the Witch craze, the thousands of people tortured in mind-control of the church with their inquisition, with the control of all literature, with the spread of superstitious nonsense, with the luxury of the clergy in the Middle Ages, with the pretensions of Popes to be able to crown despotic kings, with their corruption and all their fables. Nothing a Pope says is original, nothing is remarkable, everything is rabble rousing rhetoric to keep hundreds of thousands of idlers fed and clothed, for telling stories.
