Pope faces hostility from gay groups in Germany
http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2011/09/22/pope-faces-hostility-from-gay-groups-in-germany/

Pope Benedict’s first official visit to his homeland of Germany is expected to meet strong opposition today.

The Pontiff has made informal visits to Germany in the past but this is his first official visit.

Up to 20,000 people, including gay rights campaigners, feminists, atheists and church abuse survivors, are expected to gather for a protest in Berlin.

Meanwhile, it is estimated that around 100 German MPs will boycott his speech in parliament today.

1. They'll probably drive him around the imbroglio and he will never see it.
Then they'll give the boycotted seats over to a group of devout types to fill in the ranks, or encourage legislators to bring their spouses.

He's been told, ever since he took the job, that he's always RIGHT.


He won't lose a minute's sleep, the bum. His loyal bootlickers will probably make sure he never sees a critical newspaper or TV show.
