Homosexual Activist Irish Senator Compares Pope Benedict XVI to Hitler

DUBLIN, March 27, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) -  Irish Senator David Norris, the first openly homosexual politician elected in Ireland, has compared Pope Benedict XVI to Hitler for the Catholic Church's stand against homosexuality. 

Speaking of the Pope, Norris said he would refuse to take "moral instructions from a man with a swastika on his arms."  The reference is an apparent allusion to the forced involvement of Joseph Ratzinger as a youth with the Hitler youth. (see info on this here: http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/apr/05041906.html )

The Senator who is actively anti-Catholic and according to some reports has been identified as taking part in the controversial anti-Catholic Orange marches, refused to back down from his comments.  He said that the teachings of the Catholic Church on homosexuality are "in line with the prejudices that included Hitler and Himmler". 

Those teachings, which adhere to traditional Christian moral teachings from the time of Christ, determine homosexual acts as "acts of grave depravity" and the homosexual inclination as "objectively disordered".

Don't the leftists have anyone other than Hitler to call the opponents of their agenda?

[wagglebee]

HA Ping.

[wagglebee]

Ping.

[pissant]

Why would a leftist claim the Pope was a raving leftist?

[proxy_user]

"How many divisions does the Pope have?

[RichInOC]

A queer Orangeman? I've seen everything now. How does that work? I'm sure Paisley will be just overjoyed to hear about this pud.

No.

What can you reasonably expect from a guy who confuses an exit for an entrance?

[chemicalman]

I think he just paved his road to he hockysticks.

[Clintonfatigued]

If I were Irish, I would be embarrassed. Hopefully, his constituents are.

[Echo Talon]

Are we outsourcing moonbat theories?

[HarleyLady27]

If it isn't President Bush being branded a 'hilter' its the Pope....do they any other words in their grammer than 'hilter' or are they referring to 'hillary'?????

DUBLIN, March 27, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Irish Senator David Norris, the first openly homosexual politician elected in Ireland, has compared Pope Benedict XVI to Hitler for the Catholic Church's stand against homosexuality.

Yeah, yeah, everyone that isn't you is Hitler. This nonsense is getting more than a little bit stale.

[Alas Babylon!]

Homos are Hitler.

Gays are Gestapo.

Fags are Fascists.

Queers are Quislings.

Lesbians are Lebensraum.

Dykes are Deutschland Uber Alles.

There. I think I covered all of them with 1930's era dictatorial German tags.

[Echo Talon]

Their magically delicious...

[TASMANIANRED]

They could call them Stalin, or Mao...they both out killed more of their own citizens.

[SandRat]

He probably looks forward to each year's over 40 physical.

[BunnySlippers]

Now Bush and the Pope have something in common.

[RavenATB]

Why don't they just save a lot of time and trouble and just put out a statement saying that everyone who doesn't agree with their agenda, and that they should have access to our children, is just like "Hitler."

It's about the only comparison they use, anymore. Apparently, their study of history was quite brief.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Just fired off an e-mail to some friends in Ireland.

I'll check back tomorrow with an answer.

[Riley]

Isn't Mr Hilter the National Bocialist candidate for the North Minehead Bye Election?

[El Conservador]

Godwin's law at work...

[Stepan12]

Homos are Hitler.

Gays are Gestapo.

Defend the Family. Read the Pink Swastika

[TalBlack]

Irish histrionics. I grew up listening to this sort of thing. They say the most savagely hurtful thing they can think of and affect to truly believe it.

[wagglebee]

Ping!

Looks like you've got homosexual wackos over there too!

[Michael.SF.]

If I were Irish, I would be embarrassed

Well, as a Scott-Irish (partly) married to a Swede-Irish, there is much to be embarrassed about the lot of the Irish (whom I love), in spite of their weaknesses. What can one say about a country that has traditional folk songs with lyrics like this:

Carrickfergus

(last verses only):
And in Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stone there as black as ink,
With gold and silver I did support her
But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink.

I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober,
A handsome rover from town to town.
Oh but I am sick now and my days are numbered

[Michael.SF.]

He probably looks forward to each year's over 40 physical.

I'm certain he does not wait for an annual physical to have that portion examined up close.

[Seniram US]

Not sure how many divisions that Pope Benedict XVI, has, but I'm certain that his commander-in-chief has the means to defend him with as many that might be required. Maybe the Irish homosexual senator should blame it (the description of homosexuality) on the pope's commanding officer. It was He who described homosexuality. The pope only upholds his boss' teaching, known as the "Truth."

[PzLdr]

If he was, the Irishman would be sporting a lavendar triangle on his lapel, and an MP 40 up his butt.

[Incorrigible]

Senators in Ireland don't have much power as I understand it. Also, at least up until recently, only University graduates could vote for Senators.

What county/district does this guy represent? Am I reading this right? An Orangeman in the Republic?

[Lacroix]

Maybe you have to go here:

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/27032006/2/national-family-kept-loney-s-homosexuality-quiet-feared-actions-iraqi.html&printer=1

to see how other cultures react to Homosexuality. Where is the outrage from the Homosexual Community when people are actually put to death because of their sexual proclivity?

It is easier to attack a good holy man for defending his faith than it is to attack a culture that will surgically remove your genitals and then kill you.

The gutless always perceive the good as being weak and attack them rather than stand up to their true enemy.

[Reily]

Read the book 'The Hidden Hitler', written by a German author. There is a fair amount of now mostly anecdotal evidence that Hitler of the 'leather & lash' crowd.

Homosexual Activist Irish Senator Compares Pope Benedict XVI to Hitler


Here’s an antidote for this sort of claptrap:

"The Myth Of Hitler's Pope by RABBI David G. Dalin


Well, while this book doesn’t address this current slander…but it shows
just how far some folks will go to revise history in order to
slime a religious figure.
(and I’m not Catholic…)

[rockabyebaby]

Hitler seems to be the lefts hero, they are always comparing people to him, wth is up with that, first Bush, now the Pope? Poor pathetic leftist morons.

[aculeus]

Looks like you've got homosexual wackos over there too!

Er, speaking only for myself, I'm not "over there." I'm right here.

[Wilhelm Tell]

Until there is a Pope Poof I, I'm sure the good Senator can find plenty of decadent denominations that are more than "welcoming." He thinks he is so clever with his "everyone I don't like is a Hitler" gay hissy-fit.

[NorthEastRepublican]

Good work I agree. Homos are sinners and a disgrace to humanity

[La Enchiladita]

Ireland has gone truly mad. I never thought I'd see the day!

[BamaGirl]

What else would you expect from someone who's so ass-backwards as to go the wrong way up one way streets?

the teachings of the Catholic Church on homosexuality are "in line with the prejudices that included Hitler and Himmler"

Uh, no. The teachings against homosexuality are in line with Scripture.

[Northern Yankee]

Speaking of the Pope, Norris said he would refuse to take "moral instructions from a man with a swastika on his arms." The reference is an apparent allusion to the forced involvement of Joseph Ratzinger as a youth with the Hitler youth.

I dare say that it provides a convenient out to continue to ignore the teachings of Christ.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Just to knock the Nazi charge out of the way (again), here's what the Jerusalem Post had to say about it:

Ratzinger a Nazi? Don't Believe It!

By Sam Ser, THE JERUSALEM POST Apr. 18, 2005

London's Sunday Times would have us believe that one of the leading contenders for the papacy is a closet Nazi. In if-only-they-knew tones, the newspaper informs readers that German-born Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was a member of the Hitler Youth during World War II and suggests that, because of this, the "panzer cardinal" would be quite a contrast to his predecessor, John Paul II.

...[But]As the Sunday Times article admits, Ratzinger's membership in the Hitler Youth was not voluntary but compulsory; also admitted are the facts that the cardinal – only a teenager during the period in question – was the son of an anti-Nazi policeman, that he was given a dispensation from Hitler Youth activities because of his religious studies, and that he deserted the German army....

"Keeping out of the Hitler Youth was difficult because the tuition reduction, which I really needed, was tied to proof of attendance at the Hitler Youth,"[said Ratzinger]

"Thank goodness there was a very understanding mathematics professor. He himself was a Nazi, but an honest man, and said to me, 'Just go once to get the document so we have it...' When he saw that I simply didn't want to, he said, 'I understand, I'll take care of it' and so I was able to stay free of it."

........................

So, automatically registered with the Nazi Youth together with everybody else in his class, he refused to go to even one meeting, and had the --- nerve --- at age 14, to tell a Nazi teacher that he refused to go!

And a few years later, drafted into the German Army, he deserted!

[RabidBartender]

"Irish Senator David Norris, the first openly homosexual politician elected in Ireland, has compared Pope Benedict XVI to Hitler..."

Upon hearing this, French PM Jacques Chirac telephoned the Vatican to discuss the terms of his country's surrender.

Speaking of the Pope, Norris said he would refuse to take "moral instructions from a man with a swastika on his arms." The reference is an apparent allusion to the forced involvement of Joseph Ratzinger as a youth with the Hitler youth.

And had I lived in Ireland, I would refuse to take seriously any "moral" example from this libelous statement about our Pope, from this screeching, anti-Christian, bigoted poof!

[Jaded]

I am reminded of this....

18"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.

[klossg]

The guy deserves nothing but pity and prayers, and maybe a reminder that his Mom and Dad love him regardless of his anger and need to attack the Church and the sweet ol' German that now serves her as B16!

I sent the following email to our "friend" David Norris:

Senator Norris, God bless you and your office! I pray that one day I can call you more than just brother but also my brother in Christ. Thank you for bringing the leader of my church more attention than he deserves or my church deserves. Though I am glad for the publicity and natural juxtaposition of a man "who loves regardless of his fellow man's actions" with a man "who wants to tear someone down out of hate for his beliefs;" I would hope that next time you bring up the Catholic church and her suffering servant Benedict, you also bring attention to her other more basic teachings. The less controversial and more fulfilling teachings! Or do you only work well publicly with caricatures? If so, then you become one yourself ... and I know that should not be the case. So, God bless you and may you live in Christ's peace.

FYI ... The Pope recently publish Deus Caritas Est with teachings like this:

"Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction. Saint John's Gospel describes that event in these words: “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should ... have eternal life”

"In a world where the name of God is sometimes associated with vengeance or even a duty of hatred and violence, this message is both timely and significant. For this reason, I wish in my first Encyclical to speak of the love which God lavishes upon us and which we in turn must share with others."

"Nowadays Christianity of the past is often criticized as having been opposed to the body; and it is quite true that tendencies of this sort have always existed. Yet the contemporary way of exalting the body is deceptive. Eros, reduced to pure “sex”, has become a commodity, a mere “thing” to be bought and sold, or rather, man himself becomes a commodity. This is hardly man's great “yes” to the body. On the contrary, he now considers his body and his sexuality as the purely material part of himself, to be used and exploited at will. Nor does he see it as an arena for the exercise of his freedom, but as a mere object that he attempts, as he pleases, to make both enjoyable and harmless. Here we are actually dealing with a debasement of the human body: no longer is it integrated into our overall existential freedom; no longer is it a vital expression of our whole being, but it is more or less relegated to the purely biological sphere. The apparent exaltation of the body can quickly turn into a hatred of bodiliness. Christian faith, on the other hand, has always considered man a unity in duality, a reality in which spirit and matter compenetrate, and in which each is brought to a new nobility. True, eros tends to rise “in ecstasy” towards the Divine, to lead us beyond ourselves; yet for this very reason it calls for a path of ascent, renunciation, purification and healing."

Sincerely,
