This is a new one, hope to make it a regular feature :-D
This week I choose Joseph the Rat... zinger, or pope benedict the xvi, but the rat... zinger doesn't deserve a respectable title, so I'll refer to the rat... zinger as I did in the first part of this sentence.
Now taking a leap here, I could look past the nazi stuff the rat... zinger was into, as it was compulsory for all "purebred" youth in nazi germany, but because the rat... zinger didn't give so many -- too many -- molestation victims inside the catholic church a chance to tell their sides of THEIR stories when the rat... zinger was actively covering the abuses perpetrated on them up, not only as pope, but as a cardinal, fuck it, he's a nazi. I mean, on the subject of sexual assault, there is NO middle ground on this issue. Now taking another leap, but bare with me, I remember when then-president George W. Bush came out years ago and said something to the effect of "The terrorists? Well, you're either with us or against us." and I thought "wow, did he just say that?" Though then again I thought that with a lot of stuff that moron said. Obviously I was against terrorism, but that mentality just isn't going to do anyone justice when applied to a conflict as broad and ambiguous as the war on terror and the belligerents on both sides, and sure enough several months later the US invaded Iraq... But its the complete opposite here; you really are on one side or another, there's no time to butt fuck around analyzing option A or B or to determine whether or not to create an option C. There's "well, I think the child wanted it" and then there's the rest of society who realize child molestation and other sexual assaults for what they are: criminal, JUST CRIMINAL. And really just the purest form of evil there is. And yet the rat... zinger just sweeps it under the carpet, as did john paul II, and yes, he was a cunt too, but I'll let the worms have at him. There's no mid ground, if you know that's going on you alert the proper authorities at the very least. You don't butt fuck around deciding what to do, and you CERTAINLY don't cover it up. I wouldn't be surprised if the rat... zinger was helping himself to some alter boy tail on the side.
But that's the worst of the worst, in catholic terms anyways. I'm not even going to touch on the rat... zingers homophobia and endorcement of the genocide of homosexuals in the muslim world, or his sexism, or his unreasonable and stident position on safe sex and sexual education. Nope. Instead I'm just going to leave it with these telling pictures, of the rat... zinger:
To put this last photo in context, here's the original caption to it as found on ABC news:
A May 17, 2002 law enforcement booking photo shows Stephen Kiesle, formerly a priest in Oakland, California. A letter obtained by the Associated Press and bearing the signature of future Pope Benedict XVI shows then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger resisted defrocking Kiesle after his case had languished for four years at the Vatican. The 1985 letter was typed in Latin and is part of years of correspondence between the Diocese of Oakland and the Vatican about the proposed defrocking. Kiesle pled no contest to child molestation misdemeanors in 1978. In 2002, Kiesle pled no contest to a felony charge of molesting a girl in 1995. He is now a registered sex offender and still lives in California. (AP Photos)
