Pope Benedict XVI Blesses Backer of "Kill the Gays Bill" at the Vatican

As noted numerous times on this blog, few individuals personify the moral bankruptcy of the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy more than the current occupant of the throne of St. Peter, Pope Benedict XVI.  Not only was he a Hitler Youth and member of the Nazi Army years ago, but Benedict XVI was documented to have engaged in the same type of cover ups and reassignments of know predatory priests that landed Monsignor Lynn of the Philadelphia archdiocese.  Now, Benedict has taken his repulsive, morally bankrupt anti-gay agenda to new heights.  How, one might ask?  By solicitously blessing Ugandan Parliament Speaker Rebecca Kadaga while she was at the Vatican even as she is pushing for passage of a bill that would send some LGBT individuals to prison for life even if the death penalty is ultimately stripped from Uganda's horrific bill endorsed by hate groups and Christofascist demagogue like Scott Lively, the author of the untethered from reality volume called The Pink Swastika which seeks to lay blame for the Holocaust and the Nazi regime on gays.  The website for the Uganda Parliament brags about the papal blessing.  Here are highlights:

Pope Benedict XVI has given blessings to Uganda Parliament Speaker Rt.Hon. Rebecca Kadaga during a mass attended by thousands of pilgrims at the Vatican Wednesday.

Kadaga who led a delegation of Ugandan legislators to the Vatican expressed delight at meeting the Pope and visiting St Peter’s Basilicca.

MPs Paula Turyahikayo,ElijahOkupa,AbduKatuntu,BettiAmongi, and Chris Baryomunsi who accompanied the Speaker were also delighted by the golden moment noting that their faith had been renewed by the Pope’s blessings.

Joe Jervis at Joe My God sums the situation up very succinctly:

And there you have it. A blessing from the Pope upon the woman who wants you executed. It can't get any plainer than that, can it?

Would that Benedict XVI had cared a fraction as much about ridding the Catholic clergy of child rapists as he does about eradicating gays from the face of the earth and encouraging undisguised violence against LGBT individuals.  As noted before, I suspect that there is a special place in Hell reserved for Benedict XVI as well as  Ms. Kadaga.  I am dumbfounded as to how any LGBT individual can remain a Catholic in light of the Church's anti-gay jihad.  One might just as well be a masochist who likes a touch of sadomasochism thrown in for good measure.
