Pope to Muslims: Religion rejects violence – Africa – msnbc.com

“Genuine religion … stands at the base of any authentically human culture,” he said. “It rejects all forms of violence and totalitarianism: not only on principles of faith but also of right reason.”

(unless its the One True Catholic Church, in which case, CRUSADE ON, BROTHER!)

The pope said that “religion and reason mutually reinforce one another”

(unless religion says sperm is sacred and anyone having sex for pleasure is a dirty whore, and reason calls for the use of condoms to save lives…then faith trumps reason, hands down)

Pope=Death

Pope visits Africa, reaffirms ban on condoms – CNN.com

Pope Benedict has always made it clear he intends to uphold the traditional Catholic teaching on artificial contraception — a “clear moral prohibition” — Allen said. But his remarks Tuesday were among the first times he stated the policy explicitly since he became pope nearly four years ago.

He also questioned the effectiveness of condoms in stopping the spread of AIDS.
On the other hand, his issue may only involve those dirty unmarried sluts

He has, however, assembled a panel of scientists and theologians to consider the narrow question of whether to allow condoms for married couples, one of whom has HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

We shall have to wait and see.

Ultimately, though, this shows the truest danger of religion. It places the next life at higher value than this one.
