POPE BENEDICT XVI - DELUSIONAL AND OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY

Got to hand it to those crazy Roman Catholics - they sure know how to stir up controversies when they're ready!

Good 'ole Pappa Benedict the Sixteenth in that big 'ole Italian castle in Rome filled with antiques and single 'celibate' men in dresses somehow managed to put his red Prada shoe in his mouth - AGAIN.

Now he's endorsed welcoming back to the all-powerful Roman Catholic Empire a previously excommunicated British bishop (ordained without the sanction of the Holy See) WHO BELIEVES THE ENTIRE JEWISH HOLOCAUST OF WORLD WAR II IS A MYTH.

(Click here for more on this story as reported in Chicago Tribune).

This is a pontiff who was born in NAZI OCCUPIED GERMANY and (supposedly) saw the atrocities of World War II.....I mean, c'mon! Doesn't he have ANY sensitivity on the issue?

Hmmmm, let's see who else he's offended so far:

- gays
- Moslems (and we know how THEY liked to be pissed off)
- Buddhists
- victims of sexual abuse

And let's not forget that he recently - in what I saw as an act of self-gratification of his own perceived "power" - waved his magic scepter and waived (pun intended) the concept of limbo from Catholic doctrine.....one of the many holy and un-debatable long-held traditions of the esteemed and noble church (again, pun intended).

Crikey - I miss Pope John Paul II........
