Spanish Halloween

The Pope was in Spain over the weekend, and his speeches there were mighty direct, even for him. I guess he understands Spanish "orgullo" well. More on that later, but first, the protesters:

There was a big homosexual kiss-in on the pope's parade route. A fair number of the protest signs were in English, which means they weren't really intended for the Pope or for their country-men, were they?

I sometimes wonder if people mean to say what they say. For example:

Disagree with Church teaching, fine. But do you really want to make condoms your religion?

There's an original line. Rosary doesn't rhyme with "ovary" in Catalan or Galician, either.  The other sign says, "We're witches, we're free women."

Well, one, anyway.
