The Holy Father

Once again, our favorite communist rag gives a backhanded compliment (or slam) to Pope John Paul:

Ordaining women was not to be debated. Euthanasia, sex outside of marriage, marriage for priests, homosexuality, contraception and certain kinds of genetic research were taken off the table.
While liberals abhorred these trends, conservatives warmly welcomed the pope's clarity and discipline in a world that, to them, seemed in desperate need of old-time religion.

Once again our friends preach the gospel of moral relativism. The "taking off of the table" of the above things is dictated by absolute truth. And, just for the record, the world is in desperate need of old time religion.
