Papal Bull

RRRRRR! I don't know what to make of it. I mean the Pope's Christmas speech or what have you. He went on about "human ecology" and how new age "gender theories" (involving homosexuality and transgender identity) will basically wipe out the human species because there won't be enough hets having sex and reproducing. Ummm I'm pretty sure we're not an endagered species, Rev. And for a religion that is so against transgender folk it's a bit odd that the clergy are all men who abjure the company of women and go around in long, pretty robes. I would be significantly more worried about deforestation if I were him.

Gotta go with a Sharon Olds poem for this one: "The Pope's Penis"
