Pope v. GOP

According to Jon Stewart God makes his commandments known through the pope and through the GOP. Stewart highlights the contradictions that have appeared between the new pope and the GOP.



Remember all the nice things the pope said recently? Here are a couple things that have happened since then.

Acrhbishop Timothy Broglio is in charge of Catholic military chaplains. He has issues a few new rules to make sure his chaplains make it very clear they don't like gay relationships.

John Corvino, the Gay Moralist, was disinvited from a debate about gay marriage that was to have been held at Providence College, a Catholic school in Rhode Island. There's something about allowing opposing points of view to be heard somehow endorses them, and we can't have that. Corvino says that the cancellation has done wonders for his media exposure. Several newspapers, radio producers, and a TV program or two are now quite interested in what he has to say.

Jim Burroway of Box Turtle Bulletin also lists the case of a priest in Australia being excommunicated. But that might be for purely Catholic reasons, having nothing to do with gay people.
