The pope talked a bunch of awful shit on Sunday the 14th, the day after Rome’s gay pride march.
Addressing around 25,000 followers from the Diocese of Rome, the pope said the differences between men and women are fundamental and “an integral part of being human.”
Bullshit. People have all sorts of differences, of personality and temperament and kinds of talents and all sorts. The ones between women and men are not the only or the most special ones, and it’s certainly not the pope’s job to hype them. What does he know about it?!
The pontiff likened a long-lasting marriage to a good wine, in which a husband and wife make the most of their gender differences.
“They’re not scared of the differences!” the pope said. “What great richness this diversity is, a diversity which becomes complementary, but also reciprocal. It binds them, one to the other.”
What would he know about it? Why is he literally pontificating about it? He’s officially a non-expert on this subject so why is he bloviating about it? He’s not married and his church loathes women, so he’s one of the last people who should be laying down the law on what marriage is like and how wonderful differences and diversity are.
Heterosexual marriages not only ensured couples’ happiness, the pontiff said, but were deemed essential for good parenting.
“Children mature seeing their father and mother like this; their identity matures being confronted with the love their father and mother have, confronted with this difference,” Francis said.
Who says? Children can just as well mature seeing their two fathers or their two mothers being a couple. He’s just making it up, and it’s all bullshit, and nasty excluding hateful bullshit at that. He’s serving an evil church and an evil god and he should just shut up.

Apparently you missed the memo about girl brains and boy brains. Catch up!
Silentbob says
Wait, what? “Ensured”? There’s no such thing as an unhappy heterosexual marriage? How does he explain…
Oh, wait. I get it. It’s demons again isn’t it. The ones who think they’re unhappy aren’t really. They’re just possessed.

Moderately cogent one week, true-to-tradition irrelevant the next.
Gregory in Seattle says
Can I coin the word “popesplains” as a cognate of mansplain?
Robert B. says
That’s actually what “pontificate” means, though, Gregory. The English word for making a stupid arrogant speech is literally named after this office.

Simply pathetic. El Papa (or, The Potato) will say anything.
Holms says
I grew up to be a complete person without my father at all, so Francis doesn’t know shit.
