Sigh, the New Pope

April 19th, 2005 § 5

So, I just heard the news. We’ve got a new Pope. The person they selected is Cardinal Ratzinger and I couldn’t be more upset. When someone told me he was the one they selected I just felt sad and my eyes got watery. Now, I’m not Catholic or anything, so why should this bother me?

Well, Ratzinger was one of the names that popped up when I did my research on gay Catholics. He was the author of the “Halloween Letter,” which reaffirmed the notion that homosexuals are “intrinsically disordered” and forced Dignity from meeting on church grounds. And when I heard that he was selected as the new Pope I just remembered the way they said they felt when that letter came out.

I can’t imagine how they feel right now. And that is why I am upset. My heart goes out to them…
