Power is like a drug also, as you well know my dear Ratzinger.

Can celibacy become addictive? If one is addicted to celibacy, is there recovery? With whom besides oneself would one find recovery? All these unasked questions have already been answered by certain unnamed scandals which have destroyed young lives and cost the Catholic Corporation millions.

I am not prone to trust the mafia for loans anymore than I would trust this man with my salvation. If the pope represents Christ then why would religious leaders of His day want to have Him killed? It seems to me that this Pope person represents another character of the Bible referred to as the Pharisee of whom Christ warned to beware. Good advice, Messiah.

He should know. The church was in denial about it's pedophile priests for decades.

Hypersexuality - which I assume he's talking about - is a real and serious condition and has nothing to do with "addiction" --- ass-hat.

I can't wait for his weekly advice column in The Villager.

I bet he prefers missionary.

Or pounding nail.

Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i´m thinking of

Then the whole world is Drug Addict!

If Church wouldn't ban Birth Control and Abortion, some people wouldn't be able to bring Monsters into this world!

Coming from an asexual being this is meaningless.
