choice and equality for women. The props and costumes don't matter a bit. What matters is the actions both men take which are the same, they both protect horrific child abusers in their cohort, they both spread venomous hate against gay people to build a smokescreen for the defense of those child abusers.
In Argentina, 'Wood Chair Pope' was so awful in his attack on gay people that the President there said his language was 'Medieval and suggestive of the Inquisition'. Worse, in fact, than Gold Chair Pope.
If Pat Robertson wears a nice suit, do you also praise his sartorial choices and forgive his bigoted and hateful attacks on innocent people?
In closing I will say that according to Jesus Christ, both men are hypocrites, for Jesus said 'Do not pray in public, only hypocrites do that'. Both of these men pray in public for a living. Hypocrites according to Jesus. Also, both men overlook terrible crimes in their own community while judging what they see as flaws in others, Jesus said don't dare judge that speck in your brother's eye when you have a child abusing plank in your own eye. Jesus, said to be of Nazareth, said this: "Call no man father." Both of these men demand to be called 'Father' by all, and even 'Holy Father' and they make that demand in the name of Jesus, who forbade such titles.
Both men claim to be 'Vicar of a Guy Whose Teachings We Don't Follow At All'.
