At the risk of redundancy, President Evo Morales of Bolivia is a socialist and a jerk.
Invited to an audience with the Pope as a courtesy to a head of state, the socialist twerp decided to lecture the pope and advocate heresy.
Pope Benedict XVI received President Evo Morales of Bolivia at a 25 minute meeting at the Vatican on May 17. The Bolivian leader expressed his “concern” over the “difficulties” now assailing the Catholic Church. Morales suggested to the leader of the world’s Catholics that he should “abolish celibacy” for priests and also allow women to serve as priests.
Apparently not content to offer advice to the pope in private, Morales repeated his advice to the pope which he conveyed as “member of the base” of the Catholic Church rather than as chief of state. In his first private meeting with the pope, Morales handed the pontiff a letter expressing his concerns for the church and offering suggestions. “It was my mother who, when I was very young, who told me to close my eyes and bow my head when praying, thinking about the life lessons of the ‘Our Father’ and ‘Hail Mary,” wrote the Bolivian president to the pope. He encouraged the pope to do everything he can to “overcome the crisis in the Church, which as you have said, is wounded by sin.”
“Therefore,” wrote Morales, “it is necessary to democratize and humanize its clerical structure” so that “women may have the same opportunities as men to openly exercise the priesthood.” In addition, wrote Morales, “like Jesus, who became a men to be amongst us and understand us better, the Church should not deny such a fundamental part of our nature as human beings and must abolish celibacy.” According to Morales, “there would be therefore few sons and daughters unclaimed by their fathers, and we could therefore be sincere about reality.” Morales also called for protection of children to prevent their abuse by clergy. The Bolivian closed his letter by saying that he was certain that the pope would evaluate “wisely these proposals which humbly attempt to close the wounds of our Church.”
Evo, you see, is very concerned about cleibacy leading men to not claim their children. Ahem. Evo should know as he fathered a child that he refused to claim until the mother filed suit and he finally acknowledged his child. I am quite sure that a vow of celibacy was not involved.
Now this marxist moron wants to lecture the Pope. The Pope should have excommunicated him on the spot. That would have gotten the pinko punk’s attention.

I'm sure the Holy Father gave this pompous tool's letter all of the
careful consideration it deserved.

What a pompous ass. Women have as much chance of becoming priests as eating chicken has a chance of making a man gay.

You people and the blue poison, it never ends.

Giving advice to the Pope? This guy evidently feels he has a lot to be modest about. He should be careful not to dislocate his shoulder while patting himself on the back.

I don't think "moron" quite covers it.

I sincerely hope the Holy Father and his inner circle took that letter and thoroughly enjoyed a hearty laugh over a glass of wine later. You have to laugh or we'd all just cry all the time…

Really funny, we Bolivians were afraid of this IDIOT so called "Altiplanic Nonesense" to make such a thing in front of the holy father, however you should understand that the guy is a total Ignorant who thinks he has been illuminated to speak in the name of all Bolivians.
Hope you forgive this IDIOT and we hope we get rid of him as fast as possible.
The good thing is that more people now understands what we have to deal with day by day, he applies the same rule to his political ruling taking no care on manipulating laws and illegality for him what matters is what he wants and he brands it "WE THE PEOPLE" and moves forward with his charade!
WELCOME TO OUR MONKEY!

Don't worry, we understand. We are having the same experience here. Our system has the rule of law strongly built into it, so we are a little better off than you, so far.

I'll see your "tool" and raise you a "stubby, obnoxious troll", which is what Evo is. For him, it was either president of Bolivia or lawn gnome as far as a career path.
Aaaaaaanyway, my favorite quote in this rant was, "like Jesus, who became a men to be amongst us and understand us better…" because God didn't understand anything about us humans, so He had to come down to see for Himself.
What a laughable Moron.

Taking T-shirt orders with this on it now!

People who know the guy personally tell me that Evo Morales is just as loathsome in person, in addition to being a functional illiterate. But he's not one of the rabes blancos (white asses), so he swept the indio vote roughly 99% to nothing.
This universal franchise stuff has got to stop.
Really.
No kidding.

JC the election that swept Evo into power was an absolute joke. Did you know the former President Jorge Quiroga that Evo ran against had his campaign run by the same guy who did Bill Clinton's campaign?? Why? Because Quiroga and the Clintons are old time pals. Jorge actually spent/spends most of his life OUTSIDE Bolivia (his wife is American) and he doesn't even speak Spanish very well. But he was part of the Bolivian elite. So, when Evo came to power, it was a shock to Bolivians, but not really to anyone else with half a brain (would you vote for one of your own, or a man who couldn't even speak your language?)
Anyway, Bolivia is so irrelevant. Always has been. I think we can pretty much laugh this one off.

Anonymous,
I feel for ya. things are not well for us directly to the north of you in Venezuela either, dictated by a mentally insane man who also happens to be buddies with Morales.

Angela – Venezuela is one of my favorite places on earth. I'm really hoping the situation changes for the better. Every venezolano friend of mine (in and out of the country) always has only negative things to say.
