Pope Francis compares pushing gay agenda to ‘Hitler Youth’ indoctrination

(Please excuse the site. Ugh.)

In comments at his Monday in-air interview that were totally ignored by the mainstream media, Pope Francis lamented the Western practice of imposing a homosexual agenda on other nations through foreign aid, which he called a form of “ideological colonization” and compared to the Nazi propaganda machine.

Asked by a reporter to explain the phrase “ideological colonization,” the pope gave an example from 1995 when, he says, a minister of education in a poor area was told she could have a loan for building schools so long as the schools used a book that taught “gender theory.”

"She said yes, and also made them give another book, of a different orientation. And so she succeeded," he explained according to a transcript by America, the Jesuit magazine known as the English-language publisher of a major papal interview in 2013. "This is ideological colonization. They enter with an idea that has nothing to do with the people; but with groups of people yes, but not with the people. It colonizes the people with an idea that wants to change a mentality or a structure."

This ideological colonization “is not new, the dictators of the last century did the same,” Francis said. "They came with their own doctrine. Think of the BalilLa (The Fascist Youth under Mussolini), think of the Hitler youth."

Strike up the chorus: "He's a swell guy, no he's not homophobic, he's taking the church in a new direction, he's tolerant, blah blah blah."

Fuck the pope.

1. You know what was more like nazis?

Catholic bishops in Uganda promoting legislation that imposed the death penalty on gay people. That was exactly like nazis.

2. Quiet, you!

That clearly had nothing to do with religion! :-P

3. So how would he describe the catholic church going to "help" the poor Africans

and pushing the "you can get fed and 'saved' but you can't use birth control to stop AIDS" agenda?

Fuck the pope, indeed.

4. Then adds, "But who am I to judge?"

Christ, what an asshole.

6. Kind of like, "I'm not racist, but..."

Though it is amazing that this Pope can put out the most putrid piles of shit yet progressives on this site will defend him to the bitter end.

15. Oh, I'm sure all of the "cautiously optimistic" types are really shook up about this.

Just like they were all shook up two weeks ago when he said anyone making fun of a religion should expect violent retribution. Just like last week when he implored Catholics to stop fucking.

All who may have responded "I praise the Pope when he's right, and criticize him when he's wrong" in a certain poll that may or may not exist in another forum are probably criticizing the everloving fuck out of Frankie right now, right?

Right?

7. This can't be the same Pope Frankie

that everyone thinks is a breath of fresh air.
Who will reform the Church and give everyone a pony, not him!

With your permission I am throwing this up on GD.

9. Please post as you see fit!

As I noted, it's not a very DU-friendly site but it does report on what Blank Frank said. Maybe there is a better source out there with the same story.

8. That's messed up!

I reckon he could know about such things, considering his predecessor is alive.

11. Ideological colonization.

The RCC certainly has a lot of experience in that!

I am only surprised that he pulled the old comparison to Nazis out of his hat. Hasn't that comparison become a worn and tired analogy to the point of being laughable? When someone is trying to make a serious point, it is good to avoid this one.

[AtheistCrusader]

12. That's funny, because the last pope would know a lot about that, being a hitler youth member.

I'm guessing the wonder-pope's political handlers have pretty much torn out all their hair at this point, trying to keep his bigotry and random bullshit in check.


I imagine a bank of people lined up, begging him before every press conference to only talk about the poor, because that's actually not a screwball position, for the most part.

13. Because being "forced to be" gay is just like joining the Hitler Youth....

.... except we wouldn't be caught dead in a brown shirt!


What is this "Gay Agenda" of which his Holy Wonderfulness speaketh?



Hint, when you hear or see "gay agenda", you know it's a bunch of BS.

18. Just like 'Hitler Youth' indoctrination...

...says the leader of a worldwide organization that routinely endorses and carries out childhood indoctrination.
