Old Habits Die Hard

Pope Benedict XVI’s gay stance is as bad as prejudices of “Hitler and Himmler” in Nazi Germany, according to an Irish Senator.

Senator David Norris criticise the pontiff over his constant condemnation of homosexuality and refused to take “moral instructions from a man with a swastika on his arms.”

He referred to the Pope’s former membership of the Hitler Youth Movement in Germany in the 1940s and labelled Vatican statements on homosexuality as “objectively evil” and “intrinsically disordered” and “in line with the prejudices that included Hitler and Himmler.” (source)

To the Pope’s defense, if he was raised a Nazi, those habits are so hard to break. It’s kind of like masturbation, I would assume.
