argh, *people* - this is what I get for trying to "wind down" by checking the news

Note to Christians: This whole 'be not afraid to wear your crosses - we'll show Them!' shit from an archbishop just makes you look like idiots who can't figure out that, in the Western World, YOU are the fucking majority.

And seriously, don't even talk to me about the Pope. That guy... has some serious issues. Wasn't this meant to be a religion of love, or did I get confused somewhere along the line?

For the record: I am very much aware that neither the pope nor the archbishops really represent the majority of the people they're supposed to. I don't blame anybody for that, any more than I wanted to be blamed for the actions of the US back during the reign of Dubya the Incoherent. But sheesh.

Wooooow. This is why my Catholic friend takes the stance of "I'm Catholic. I believe in the religion. I think the Pope is a dumbass." Haha. I didn't even realize that crosses weren't allowed (except at extremely conservative religious schools of any variety).

Yeah, that's it exactly. Most Catholics, in my experience, are awesome people - hell, that's my experience with most religions. It's just the religious organization's leaders that scare the living daylights out of me, for the most part. :P
