The Pope brings joy to the American far right

The American Christian conservatives are happy…Pope Benedict XVI has given them an early Easter gift…He has appointed an Austrian Bishop who thinks like them…

This is what Gerhard Maria Wagner, the new Bishop, had to say

about Hurricane Katrina in 2005:

It is surely not an accident that all five of New Orleans' abortion clinics, as well as nightclubs were destroyed...It's not just any old city that has gone under, but the people's dream city with the 'best brothels and the most beautiful whores'.

about the Tsunami in 2004:

...it was no coincidence that the Tsunami disaster had occurred at Christmas, inferring that it was punishment for "rich western tourists" who had "fled to poor Thailand".

In 2001 he warned children against reading JK Rowling's novels about the boy wizard Harry Potter, describing them as spreading satanism...

This controversial appointment comes after the Pope revoked the excommunication after two decades of four schismatic bishops (members of St. Pius X Society and opposers of Vatican II) one of whom Bishop Richard Williamson in a Swedish state TV interview said that historical evidence is hugely against six million Jews having been deliberately gassed by the Nazis during the Holocaust...

Now the Vatican has joined Sri Ram Sena and the Uttar Pradesh Board of Madrassa Education (UPBME) in wanting to take us back to the Middle Ages...Ultimate unity - Hindu, Muslim, Christian bhai bhai...
