Richard Dawkins Mocks Pope Benedict XVI for 'Wasted Life and No Sex'

 

 

World-famous atheist and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins took to Twitter on Monday to comment on Pope Benedict XVI's decision to retire as head of the Roman Catholic Church, mocking the pontiff for a "wasted life" and no sex.

 

"I feel sorry for the Pope and all old Catholic priests. Imagine having a wasted life to look back on and no sex," Dawkins wrote on his Twitter page. The God Delusion author was referring to the life of celibacy that Catholic priests are required to take when choosing the path of ministry.


It is not the first time Dawkins has made controversial remarks targeting the pope. In 2010, the secular campaigner and fellow atheist author Christopher Hitchens, who passed away in 2011, called on Pope Benedict to be "arrested for crimes against humanity," during the pontiff's state visit to London, England.

(HA! HA! HA! We all know how that ended up! Total humiliation for Dawkins et al.
