Scottish Bishop Longs for Days When Gays Were Tortured and Imprisoned, Wants Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf) Locked Up Just 'Like Oscar Wilde'

[Pictured above: Here's the kind of hunky kilted Celt some are inclined to believe that the Scottish 'Hate' Bishop secretly wishes he had in his cold bed tonight!]

The Rt Rev Joseph Devine of Scotland, one of Scotland's most senior Catholics was named 'Douchebag of the Day by the Sword and the Pen Blog here:

The Sword and the Pen

The Sword and the Pen's Steven Santos writes:

"Devine claims that there is a "gay lobby" in Scotland orchestrating a conspiracy against Christian values. He adds that gay rights groups align themselves with groups, such as Holocaust survivors."

"To project an "image of a group of people under persecution". Because if there's one thing that Catholics aren't guilty of is falsely portraying themselves as victims of persecution."

"Ian McKellen is attacked for being honored for his work on behalf of homosexuals, when Devine adds that, years ago, Oscar Wilde was jailed for having sex with other men."

Santos guesses that the Roman Catholic Bishop from Scotland is really suppressing a deep desire to get laid by Gandalf:

"Based on the level of hate Devine shows towards McKellen, I can come to a conclusion about him based on previous hating by public Catholic figures: Devine wants to have sex with Ian McKellen. In fact, Devine probably has kinky fantasies involving McKellen wearing his wizard hat from "Lord of the Rings" or, kinkier, his Magneto helmet from "X-Men".

"(Edinburgh) Claims by a Catholic bishop that gays use the Holocaust to further their political objectives have sparked outrage in the Scottish capital.

"The homosexual lobby has been extremely effective in aligning itself with minority groups," the Right Rev Joseph Devine, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Motherwell, told a Glasgow audience.

"It is ever present at the service each year for the Holocaust memorial - as if to create for themselves the image of a group of people under persecution," he told the audience.

"I want to ask you if you are able to see the giant conspiracy that's taking place before our eyes? It's a very small group of people, but very active and organized, and extremely indulgent."

"Devine, in his speech titled 'Sectarianism and Secularism: Bugbears for the Catholic Church in Scotland' went on to further blast LGBT civil rights leaders, specifically targeting Oscar-winning actor Sir Ian McKellen.

"McKellen, who was one of the founder of gay rights group Outrage, was honored by the Queen this year.




Pictured above: Gay Scotsman Magazine Issue 22 -- "So what did all the Real Scotsmen wear under their kilts at Pride?"

"In this New Year's Honours List, I saw actor Ian McKellen being honoured for his work on behalf of homosexuals. A century ago, Oscar Wilde was locked up and put in jail," Devine said.

"The speech drew immediate condemnation from Scottish gays."



This bishop is truly deluded and he forces people to look closely at what the organized church stands for, which is bigotry and hate.

Good thing he speak for only a SMALL, extremist minority of Roman Catholics and of Christians, in general (unfortunately he does speak for the hateful nutcases with too much influence, though)!

Well, I had a roommate who told me that 'Protestant gays are more nervous and cleanly, but sex is ALWAYS better with Catholic boys, because their development is all twisted up with bondage and light Sado-masochism'.

Was my roommate correct? What do our readers think about this? Would you rather corner a hairy red Welsh Protestant chapel bear cub, or would rather corner a neurotic but sexy Scottish Roman Catholic 'Braveheart' warrior?
