Oh, the poor, poor pope

So, the UK Foreign Office was very mean to poor old Ratzinger, who never has a harsh word to say about anybody. It prepared a joke document suggesting fun things, like associating with the dreadful subhuman queers, or sacking 'dodgy' (one assumes child-rapist-protecting) bishops and indeed singing with the queen (presumably a more awful prospect even than not being horrible to the gays) that the Holy Father could do on his visit, and it leaked.

Of course, the Vatican was outraged, and demanded apologies... and got them! Now. I wonder when Benedict will be making his apology to, oh, half the world, for decades of child-rapist-protection? A proper apology, where he actually admits that the fucking church is responsible? And when will he be apologising for his subordinates blaming homosexuals, Jews, and secularists for his organisation's pro-child-rape policies?

I know that it's tired and unfair and a bit silly to go on about the Nazi pope, just because he was in the Hitler Youth (hard to blame him for this; most Germans his age were), and he's really evil-looking and a bit of a flaming bigot. But at this point, well, the message that clearly the Catholic Church isn't to blame, it is the homosexuals and Jews and so forth to blame for losing the war causing, through their gay/Jew magic, the Catholic Church to protect unrepentant child rapists for a few decades... Well, it's a bit bizarre, really. No doubt it will be the socialists, next, who have stabbed the mother church in the back on this matter. He needs to take responsibility for the crazy things that his underlings are saying, just as he expects the UK to take responsibility for something that a mid-level foreign office official requested be put together as an internal joke. And he needs to, for once in his life, take bloody responsibility for the horrendous actions of the organisation he is supposedly running.

The strangest bit; the sheer outrage from Catholics over this rather mild joke document which should never have been seen outside the Foreign Office. It is somehow fine for Ratzinger to publicly attack anyone he feels like attacking, and yet totally unacceptable for someone in a psuedo-official capacity to lightly poke fun at him. Why is this, precisely?
