Yes the pope is Catholic. But he didn't say gay marriage threatens humanity

[deacon_sephiroth]

47. he's a living breathing appeal to authority fallacy

but like most right wing talking heads he has no qualifications for the topics he spouts off about
and like most right wing talking heads WAY too many people give him a platform to broadcast whatever pops into his crazy old head
and like most right wing talking heads WAY too many people actually seem to give a shit about what he says.

the difference between him and Rush:

Rush has sponsors that we can appeal to their sense of decency.
The pope is sponsored by every poor gullable SOB he can get his hands on, and there's really no talking to them. If their sense of decency hasn't driven them to abandon that church by now... don't hold your breath.
