Pope Benedict has decided to weigh in on Canada’s domestic politics:

“In the name of tolerance, your country has had to endure the folly of the redefinition of spouse, and in the name of freedom of choice it is confronted with the daily destruction of unborn children,” the Pope told a group of bishops from Ontario.

Such laws, he said, are the result of “the exclusion of God from the public sphere.”

He lamented that Catholic politicians had yielded to “ephemeral social trends and the spurious demands of opinion polls.”

Man, I’m with Johnny Ratz 100% on this one. I’ve always said there is way too much tolerance in Canada. If only we made laws based on a religion most Canadians don’t belong to rather than what Canadians themselves want, this country would be a much better place.

I won’t say much else right now, because I’m really interested to see what the Pope has to say about the Softwood Lumber dispute before I comment further.
