Shock: Pope can open law book, read Bible

The world of conservative hatred, so used to drawing on the Vatican's obsession with sex to justify their own mysogeny and homophobia, is reeling after the Pope's office called reprisals reprisals:

"As in the past, the Holy See also condemns both the terrorist attacks on the one side and the military reprisals on the other. Indeed, a state's right to self-defense does not exempt it from respecting the norms of international law, especially as regards the protection of civilian populations," Cardinal Sodano said. "In particular, the Holy See deplores the attack on Lebanon, a free and sovereign nation, and gives assurances of its closeness to those people who have suffered so much in the defense of their own independence," he continued.

Credit where it's due, at least the Pope's people can open a law textbook as well as a Bible. One by one the decent members of the Right, those with an ounce or more of humanity, and there are many, will acknowledge what is happening.
