Homosexuality trumps war, poverty, genocide among Pope's concerns


On Worlds Peace Day, Jan 1st the spiritual leader of more than a billion people of the world thinks that being gay is more a concern than poverty, looming crisis of nuclear weapon, environment and war.

Earlier this month, Pope Benedict (Hitler) XVI issued his message for World Peace Day. Entitled "The Human Family, A Community of Peace," the message argues that peace begins with the family. That's a reasonable point. But then the pope writes, "Everything that serves to weaken the family based on the marriage of a man and woman ... constitutes an objective obstacle on the road to peace."
Having implicitly named homosexuality as an obstacle to world peace in his fifth paragraph, the pope then waits until the seventh paragraph to mention the environment, the ninth to mention poverty and the second-to-last to mention war and violence.

It’s hard for me to fathom that love between two people, any sex can be such an issue to top all the things going on in this world.

Why did you use a picture of John Paul II for an article about Benedict XVI?
