Maybe I was wrong about Pat Condell....

[fatpie42]

In my last few posts about Pat Condell, I accused him of being racist, xenophobic and even sexist. However, while what Pat had to say was most certainly racist, xenophobic and sexist in sentiment, his latest video suggests that he's actually suffering from paranoid delusions. How can I hold a man responsible for his words and actions when he is so

I'm a bit frightened to cross-post to atheism. Should I be?
(I should probably post to "atheist snark". That's what I did last time I had a Pat Condell rant.)

"But, we do believe Church doctrine is guided by the Holy Spirit, and when the Pope and Magisterium make pronouncements regarding official doctrine and dogma, they're considered infallible."

You say "we" here. Do you mean that?

Surely the pope's announcement that AIDs "is a tragedy that cannot be overcome by money alone, that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which even aggravates the problems" is part of his expression of the dogma of the Church? I'm not sure how it can be considered an exception to the guidance of the holy spirit, yet I'm also fairly certain that you would not personally wish to view it as guided by the holy spirit.

So you think that not only the pope, but the holy spirit, has decided that condoms are wrong? Or has the pope never mentioned this in any of his addresses to Catholic believers?
