Save the World: Be Heterosexual

That seems to be the gist of the Pope’s Christmas message. On the one hand, I can understand that he is what he is, an old fool who has little understanding of what it is to be human, because his rational mind has been undone by his upbringing. But on the other hand, he is, for better or worse, the spiritual leader of millions, and his idiocy will be the cause of yet more totally needless angst.

By coincidence, one of the Christmas cards we received this season was from a family in which the mother was a former pupil in Martin’s ballet school. In the letter that accompanied it, she writes of the experience that the family is going through because one of her children is unsure of whether he is a boy or she is a girl. The family are doing what they can to support the child, and help him/her come to the best outcome.

The last thing that family needs is ill-considered hypocritical nonsense from an old fart who wears white dresses, red Prada shoes and expensive rings. If there is an abomination around here, it is him.
