A Christmas Message from the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Hypocrisy
Posted by Jill | 9:13 AM
I'm just speechless:

Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Christmas Midnight Mass in the splendor of St. Peter's Basilica early today with an appeal for abused children around the world, including child soldiers, beggars and others deprived of sustenance and love.

"The child of Bethlehem directs our gaze toward all children who suffer and are abused in the world, the born and the unborn," Benedict said in his homily, referring to the church's stand against abortion.

In celebrating Jesus' birth, he said people should direct their thoughts toward children forced to serve "as soldiers in a violent world, toward children who have to beg, toward children who suffer deprivation and hunger, toward children who are unloved."

"Let us pray this night that the brightness of God's love may enfold all these children," the pontiff said. "Let us ask God to help us do our part so that the dignity of children may be respected."


The Pontiff has conveniently forgotten this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this.

Shall I go on?
