Enabler of Child Rape, Benedict XVI to Slam Gay Rights in UK

In yet another example of how conservative Christians want special rights so that their beliefs and views trample the civil rights of other citizens - including the right to NOT believe in the Christianists' foul version of Christianity - child rapist enabler/protector Pope Benedict XVI is expected to attack the United Kingdom's equality laws. God's Rottweiler believes that the rights of gay hating Christians should be paramount to all else. The institutional Roman Catholic Church sickens me beyond description and I have come to believe that a world without this evil institution would be a far better places. The amount of misery and the number of needless deaths this institution has caused over the centuries is beyond calculation. It is dumbfounding that a Church that refuses to clean its own dirty laundry in terms of the sexual abuse of tens of thousands of children and youths has the audacity to attack anyone or anything. Benedict is, in my opinion, a very evil man. Here are highlights from Politics UK on Papa Ratzi's pending trip to the UK:
*
Britain's equality laws shouldn't overshadow Christians' rights to express their religion, the Pope will imply in a speech on Friday. . . . . The comments are likely to stoke controversy over Britain's equality laws. Earlier this year, Chris Grayling faced outrage when he defended two Christian B&B owners who refused a room to a couple on the basis that they were gay. Mr Grayling was subsequently demoted to junior minister in the new government.
*
The apparent attack on the UK's equality laws will further inflame passions around the visit, the first of its kind in 28 years. The Pope is visiting UK in his capacity as head of state of the Vatican City, rather than as the head of the Catholic Church, so the trip is being allocated taxpayer funding - a decision vehemently opposed by campaigners.
*
The 'Protest the Pope' campaign, consisting of numerous humanist, secular and human rights organisations, will hold protests on Friday and Saturday. The groups have argued that the Pope's trip should not be treated as a state visit given his role as a religious leader and the Catholic Church's stance on issues including abortion, contraception and homosexuality. Many are also incensed by reports that child abuse in the Church was systematically covered up by the authorities.
*
Recent polls have indicated that the Church's views on these issues are not widely shared by British Catholics
*
I agree with the protesters' position. The Vatican's status as a "state" dates to a deal struck with the fascist regime in Italy in the run up to World War II. Benedict is as much a "head of state" as I am. It's bullshit, and the Church, not tax payers, should bear the cost of the trip.
