The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

Hypocrisy on Parade

It appears that Pope Benedict has FINALLY left the country. Let's hope it's for good. The notation on Joemygod that the throngs at the barricades are remarkable made me laugh. He brought us all 6 days of demonstrable catholic hatred that we all should have paid rapt attention to. Catholicism is where hate began.



This is Father Mykal Judge, perhaps you remember him more like this:



Fr. Mike was victim 0001 on September 11, 2001. He died ministering to people at the most dire moment in recent history.


Pope Benedict did not utter his name when he was at Ground Zero this weekend.

Why you ask?

Perhaps it's because Mykal Judge was openly gay.


And in a moment of inspirational hatred he stood on the ground where Fr Judge gave his life for what he truly believed in and dedicated his life to, and said:

"God of peace, bring your peace to our violent world:
peace in the hearts of all men and women
and peace among the nations of the earth.
Turn to your way of love
those whose hearts and minds
are consumed with hatred."

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever stop wondering when those who profess to preach love and acceptance will stop teaching a message of universal hate and distrust with their hypocrisy.
