Respect Life? That's Rich Coming From The Vatican!!

The Pope said on Sunday that "life should be respected and defended in all its phases." That's rich coming from the Vatican.

The Pope demands that life be respected and defended. Yet when a woman is pregnant and her life becomes endangered by the pregnancy, the Vatican is screaming about the fetus's rights. What about the life of the mother? Aren't we supposed to protect her life and defend her life by any means necessary? Or does the "life" of the fetus take priority over the life of the mother? I mean, who cares if she dies so long as the fetus lives? Right?

The Pope demands that life be respected and defended. Yet when it comes to someone who is gay, the Vatican preaches about the EVILS of homosexuality. Where's the respect of that person's life? Or is it perfectly acceptable to pick and choose which lives deserve to be respected and defended? Where's the Pope when it comes to denouncing the daily persecution of gays around the world? Oh that's right, he can't be bothered.

The Pope demands that life be respected and defended. Yet when an infertile couple decides to undergo IVF as a last resort to bring life into this world, they are ridiculed by the Catholic Church and can be excommunicated from the Church. The life that is brought into this world is looked upon as something almost subhuman.

The Pope demands that life be respected and defended. Yet the Pope sits on his ass and does absolutely nothing about the numerous atrocities in this world that take place on a daily basis. The only thing he does is issue a statement. Words mean absolutely nothing unless backed up with action. He preaches about Darfur. But has he himself actually done anything to help the situation there? I'm not talking about the Catholic Church or Catholic charities. I'm talking about the Pope. Has he done anything to help the people who are suffering in Darfur? No!!

The Pope demands that life be respected and defended. Yet when a child is raped and becomes pregnant, the Catholic Church demands that the child carry that fetus to term. Never mind that her life has been forever altered. Never mind that her life wasn't respected. The Catholic Church only cares about that fetus. When the child undergoes an abortion, they excommunicate the child and anyone involved in the abortion.

He has the nerve to preach about respecting and defending life? Talk about a major hypocrite. Perhaps instead of writing books about Jesus, he should be doing some major soul searching. He calls himself a child of God, but some of his opinions make him look more like a child of Satan.
