Belgium is a lovely place, mostly. So it's a shame for that wee European country that this week's Worldwide Bigot is the head of the Catholic Church in that nation. Step forward and receive your honorary doctorate in hate, Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard.
On the subject of HIV-positive people, Lenny recently said: "When you mistreat the environment it ends up mistreating us in turn. And when you mistreat human love, perhaps it winds up taking vengeance." And then, in case that might have been taken to be too mild, he followed up with "All I’m saying is that sometimes there are consequences linked to our actions. This [AIDS] epidemic is a sort of intrinsic justice."
There were more comments on why pedophile priests maybe should not be punished, which led to the Archbish's PR man quitting, and saying his boss acted: "at times acts like a motorist driving on the wrong side of a freeway who thinks all the other motorists are wrong."
Time to have your driving (and preaching) license taken away, Lenny?
