The Associated Press writes that the Vatican is demanding that Catholics should no longer contribute to Amnesty International.
A Vatican cardinal said yesterday that Roman Catholics shouldn’t contribute to Amnesty International because the group adopted a policy calling for access to abortion services for women under certain circumstances.
Cardinal Renato Martino, who heads the Vatican’s justice and peace department, criticized the (AI) policy, saying it represented a betrayal of Amnesty’s goals of ensuring human rights around the world.
A spokesman for the Cardinal insisted that “the cardinal fully meant that individual Catholics should suspend donations to the group.”
With that kind of twisted thinking, we can assume that the justice and peace department is the one the hunts down heretics and tortures them in the bowels of Vatican City.
The truth of the matter is that the Vatican’s old men, still living in the Dark Ages which they helped to create and which they still consider the glory days of the church, would rather see people suffer, be tortured, be imprisoned in horrible conditions, rather than have a single woman relieved of a little clump of cells brought on by rape or incest, or that threatens her life.
The fun part is that Amnesty says it has never received any financing from the Vatican or from official Roman Catholic organizations, defined as those that are an official extension of the Church.
The new policy is part of Amnesty’s worldwide Stop Violence Against Women campaign.
Once again the Pope and his Boys in Red come down on the side of ignorance, hatred against women, stupidity, torture, suffering, and any other evil or ill they can come up with to glorify their pathetic little god.
Rah, rah, rah!
