Pope Benedict has become the biggest anti-gay activist in the world. He has once again reviled the gay and pro-choice community throughout the world.

He is of course ignoring the fact that his own church is in crisis.

His regular attacks against the gay world are hypocritical in the extreme. 

A significant proportion of the Catholic clergy are in fact gay, leaving the head of the Catholic Church in denial or avoidance. 

It is clear that the Pope is now on a vehement crusade against sexually diverse people, with unprecedented verbal assaults in the blaze of the world’s media.  

He just will not let up on anything that does not agree with the old orthodoxy, especially the rise of the gay community which he hates.

The Roman Catholic Church is in a deepening global crisis on child-abuse and along comes the Pope to moralise on the gay community.

It’s about time the Pope and the other bigots in the Vatican came out of their glass house and greeted the new order.
