Pope: Gays Only "Somewhat" Intrinsically Disordered

My, my! I don't know about anyone else, but doesn't it make you feel ever so much better about yourself knowing that the condom hating, sexual predatory protecting Nazi Pope Benedict XVI now says that gays are only somewhat intrinsically disordered instead of completely disordered? Obviously, I'm joking. Being condemned by someone like Benedict XVI in my view ought to be considered a badge of honor. Given the moral bankruptcy of the Catholic Church hierarchy and its disdain for potentially life saving items like condoms and its cold uncaring attitude towards the sexual abuse of minors (except when the media gets wind of it, of course), it looks to me that the one who is intrinsically disordered is Benedict XVI himself and similar bitter old queens in dresses at the Vatican. With each passing day, I find it more difficult to understand why anyone takes the old windbag seriously. Here are some highlights on the Nazi Pope's latest statement on gays:
*
In an unexpected move today, Pope Benedict XVI announced that gays are no longer “intrinsically evil,” but only “somewhat intrinsically evil.” The Pope made what is being heralded in the religious world as a “groundbreaking concession” on April 1st, after a week-long international conference of LGBT Catholics was held in Rome. The Vatican had said that the conference would “tarnish the city’s exemplary history as a center for moral guidance to a decidedly heathen world.” The conference concluded yesterday.
*
Vatican police say that there were no problems with the thousands of attendees who came from all around the world, despite the fact that they staged a massive demonstration outside of the Vatican to protest recent comments by the Pope.
*
In an address to thousands of Catholics gathered outside the Vatican for a blessing this morning, the pope said that gays are still not welcome into the church unless they’re celibate or ex-gays or lesbians. “It’s time for healing,” the pontiff said to massive cheers from the flock below. “We embrace the homosexual not as intrinsically evil but as somewhat intrinsically evil. I pray, as we all do, that through God’s grace, he can find the path back to redemption.”
*
The New York Times, though, is reporting that a source close to the pope says that His Holiness will soon make “a revolutionary statement” on whether the Jews killed Jesus, a question that has plagued Christians since the religion began. Said the unnamed contact: “We won’t be saying that they did, but we won’t be saying that they didn’t, the pope will leave it up to individual Catholics to decide for themselves.”Just as they should do on abortion and homosexuality.
