The Pope should just stick to wasting his time praying to the invisible (and non-existent) man in the sky instead of making stupid statements about that which he knows nothing about. Anyway, who really cares what this half-senile old man and his criminal colleagues at the Vatican have to say. They claim to be moral, when what they really are is hypocrites. TGO

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI has reaffirmed his opposition to embryonic stem cell research, saying it’s morally wrong to destroy an embryo no matter how beneficial the resulting treatment is.
Benedict made the comments Saturday to participants of a Vatican conference on adult stem cells convened under an unusual new partnership between the Vatican’s culture office and a small U.S. biotech firm, NeoStem Inc.
Church teaching holds that life begins at conception. As a result, the Vatican opposes embryonic stem cell research because embryos are destroyed in the process. It supports research using adult stem cells.
Benedict said: “The destruction of even one human life can never be justified in terms of the benefit that it might conceivably bring to another.”
