Default Pope promotes cleric who called Katrina God's punishment for sin in New Orleans

Guess he is gonna do what he wants... found this a bit strange..

Pope promotes cleric who called Katrina God's punishment for sin in New Orleans - Breaking News from New Orleans - Times-Picayune - NOLA.com

Quote:
VATICAN CITY -- An Austrian pastor who has been quoted as calling Hurricane Katrina God's punishment for sin in New Orleans is being promoted to the rank of bishop.

The Vatican announced Saturday that Pope Benedict XVI has tapped the Rev. Gerhard Wagner, 54, to be auxiliary bishop in Linz, Austria. It made no mention of the reported remarks about Hurricane Katrina.

Stay away from organized religion, the Priests, the Reverends, the Pastors, the Ministers they scream, rant, rave and tell you they are saving your souls but their final goal isn't to save your soul what they are really after is "Your Wallet"
I pray in my garage.
I can't comment any further.

I never get into it with Fog on religion, we just team up to fight off the "Loons Of The Left"

A debate on religion can never be won.

To me a mans religion is his own business, I personally have my own way of worshiping, I fill a large mayonaise jar up with wine, I light a campfire, I tune up my Banjo/Guitar and sing Gospel Hymns, I sometimes speak to the lord god thy savior when I am releaving myself on a tree.

If you read the response Harry was speaking in generalities about leaders of churches... not specific to the Catholic Church.

The church continues to shoot itself in the foot.
The pope is supposedly doing God's will on earth ... strange God indeed or perhaps that wireless link is ignored.

And thus Harry reminds me what I love about him in his best moments... from occasional outbursts of common sense (the part quoted before the ellipsis,) to unintended puns like "releaving myself on a tree" (and he's usually good natured enough to see that it's funny when a dick like me points them out.)
