The pope has denounced pedophilia and Nazism as evil on many ocassions.
What you are doing is tying an entire Religion with Billions of dedicated followers to child-rape. Thats the type of hate-mongering journalism I have come to expect from atheist-extremists in the last few years.
Why dont you go back to worshipping Batman while us grown-ups try to make the world a better place.
An ad hominem (Latin: "to the man"), also known as argumentum ad hominem, is an attempt to link the validity of a premise to a characteristic or belief of the person advocating the premise. The ad hominem is a classic logical fallacy. The ad hominem is not always fallacious, for in some instances questions of personal conduct, character, motives, etc., are legitimate and relevant to the issue.

In his address, the Pope spoke of "a Nazi tyranny that wished to eradicate God from society".
He went on to urge the UK to guard against "aggressive forms of secularism".
The Pope made his remarks in his opening address to the Queen at Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
He said: "Even in our own lifetimes we can recall how Britain and her leaders stood against a Nazi tyranny that wished to eradicate God from society and denied our common humanity to many, especially the Jews, who were thought unfit to live.
"As we reflect on the sobering lessons of atheist extremism of the 20th century, let us never forget how the exclusion of God, religion and virtue from public life leads ultimately to a truncated vision of man and of society and thus a reductive vision of a person and his destiny."

It is the pope we are talking about here. But nothing he said made me think he was telling Britian to be a theocracy. I do agree that the exact opposite of theocracy is just as bad and aggressive atheism is just as bad as aggresive theism.
Seems to me your breathing more into his comments then is really there.

Um actually in a few cases, yes, specifically. Stalin and Chairman Mao come to mind in particular.

I didn't say he didn't want a theocracy. I merely said nothing he said suggested that was his want there, right after saying "It IS the Pope we are talking about here.". Re-read what I said please. And if I remember my history correctly Britian broke away from Catholic dominance a long time ago. You know that whole Church of England thing.
