Speaking on his US tour, the Pope has recalled some of the horrors of his own past. But only some.
While in New York, the Pope addressed a Seminary in Yonkers and said:
“My own years as a teenager were marred by a sinister regime that thought it had all the answers.”
It turns out he was talking about Nazism, a cause he briefly served, and not about Roman Catholicism, his current brand of totalitarianism. He went on to praise respect for human rights. Really? What, like the right to control one’s own fertility? Like the right to use condoms to reduce the risk of AIDS? No, thought not. So I guess he favours only some human rights.
Pope Benedict XVI has had to cancel a visit to Rome’s leading university over suggestions that he approved of the church’s treatment of Galileo. The truth, as always, is somewhat murkier, but perhaps it’s just as well. Popes and science are not a good mix.
