reactions to the homophobic Pope

In my last blog I commented on the Pope's repulsive homophobia. Since writing this I have read many reactions in the press and on the net, a large number of which begin 'Gay and lesbian groups disgusted, etc.' This is all very well, but surely the whole community should be repulsed by the Pope's neo-Nazi comments, not just the subjects of his disgusting views. I would feel greatly relieved to read comments like 'The Prime minister and members of Parliament are disgusted, etc.' Casting the burden onto the oppressed groups is a failure of morality. It's like saying 'Jews and Jewish groups horrified at the incarceration and murder of Jews in concentration camps'.
