[quote]Three priests and a former priest in Scotland have reported the most senior Catholic clergyman in Britain, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, to the Vatican over allegations of inappropriate behaviour stretching back 30 years.
The four, from the diocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh, have complained to nuncio Antonio Mennini, the Vatican's ambassador to Britain, and demanded O'Brien's immediate resignation. A spokesman for the cardinal said that the claims were contested.
O'Brien, who is due to retire next month, has been an outspoken opponent of gay rights, condemning homosexuality as immoral, opposing gay adoption, and most recently arguing that same-sex marriages would be "harmful to the physical, mental and spiritual well-being of those involved". Last year he was named "bigot of the year" by the gay rights charity Stonewall.[/quote]
This is the guy who [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17249099]compared gay marriage to slavery[/url]. And now this:

I doubt it. He clearly hates gays.

Cardinal with low self-esteem.
Gotcha...
There was that study that showed homophobic "straight" men were more likely to be turned on by gay porn (and so more likely to be closeted gay/bi than non-homophobic straight men).
It's funny how often the news seems to prove that one true. :V

Ugly hat for people who have a superiority complex.

Different study.

maybe he's just into that kind of thing that's fine?
His hat looks like it's made of paper or something.
That thing on his hat.. the lion / owl thing, looks hilarious.

The study was bullshit because the machine didn't count hormonal changes, just their reactions when shown something they felt uncomfortable with.

There was a study saying striaght men who watch porn would be more accepting of alternate lifestyles, as they put, while the other study states people who are publicly against homosexuals are more likely to be closet homosexual themselves.
One is about tolerance, the other about actually being one.
Fuck the catholic church. I recently found out that my old priest from primary school assaulted a young girl many years ago. He died last year,
Is there a reason that, when compared to other institutions religious or otherwise, the Catholic church has historically had such a staggering number of pedophiles and sexual deviants among their ranks? It's appalling!
