WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Officially recognize the Roman Catholic Church as a hate group.
In his annual Christmas address to the College of Cardinals, Pope Benedict XVI, the global leader of the Roman Catholic Church, demeaned and belittled homosexual people around the world. Using hateful language and discriminatory remarks, the Pope painted a portrait in which gay people are second-class global citizens. Pope Benedict said that gay people starting families are threatening to society, and that gay parents objectify and take away the dignity of children. The Pope also implied that gay families are sub-human, as they are not dignified in the eyes of God.
Upon these remarks, the Roman Catholic Church fits the definition of a hate group as defined by both the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League.
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history." Francis Cardinal George, OMI Archbishop of Chicago

Just to clarify who creates these petitions, it's citizens who go to the White House's gov website, click on the petition button and then click on the button to create a petition. If you see what some of the petitions are for, you'll know so many of them will be ignored by the gov as senseless. What started out as a way, a means for people to tell gov what's important to them has been hijacked by people, extremists, who have their own agenda. There's too much hate and division happening within this country. And people's wanting to start such a petition shows it. We could start our own petition to try to fight it, as if it'd do any good since there are too many haters, dividers out there now.
