And recently after the Pope asked the church to show tolerance towards gays, I don't get this either.
"The call to "accept and value" homosexuals was in a draft report, but failed to win the backing of two-thirds of the bishops at a synod in Rome."

Oh, the protestants hate the catholics,
And the catholics hate the protestants,
And the hindus hate the moslems,
And everybody hates the jews.

St. Paul had a lot to do with it. I don't know if his words validated whatever some people already thought but they did nothing but harm. Off topic a bit but anyone seen "Witchfinder General"? Fiction but according to the history books, accurate enough. Although it was made in the U.K. it was heavily edited for showing here. You'll find the uncut version for sale on the Internet.

Putin looking for a scapegoat? Something to march to? Doesn't matter what it stands for, some people just follow the band. They want prejudice, it validates their attitude towards whatever they fear.
