Mid of anti-pope poster on the street (English) \"Homophobia Kills.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWhen Pope Benedict XVI arrives in Berlin this week, he will be greeted in his homeland by a Lutheran chancellor, a gay mayor and a divorced, remarried Roman Catholic president.\u003cbr/\u003eThe breadth of potential social and religious conflicts represented by the German leadership reflects the state of a nation that is proud of, but also sometimes indifferent and antagonistic toward, the German-born pontiff - and the church he represents.\u003cbr/\u003eIn a weekend address on German television ahead of his 22-25 September visit, Benedict told viewers he was especially excited to visit Berlin and speak in the German parliament.\u003cbr/\u003eBut protests have been organised at all the pope''s planned stops during his four-day trip. \u003cbr/\u003eSome opposition lawmakers have said they will not attend his address to parliament and gay and student groups have announced demonstrations to be held in Berlin and Erfurt.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We demonstrate against the misanthropic sexual and gender politics of the pope, we are turning against discrimination, unequal treatment, against bans of condoms and we want to make that clear,\" Joerg Steinert, director of the German Gay and Lesbian Association told Associated Press Television News. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We will be visible,\" he added.\u003cbr/\u003eKathrin Walther, an openly lesbian woman living in Berlin, said she felt attacked and degraded by the pope''s views on homosexuality.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The public statements of the pope about gays and lesbians are outrageous, they justify homophobia, they justify that in many countries homosexuals are still persecuted and have to expect severest punishment up to death penalty,\" she said.\u003cbr/\u003eWalther has been with her partner for nearly six years, and the couple married at a register office in the Northern German state of Hesse in July 2008.\u003cbr/\u003eBerlin''s openly gay mayor, Klaus Wowereit, has said that he welcomes the pontiff''s visit to the capital and will meet with him personally. \u003cbr/\u003eHe has also expressed understanding for the protests planned by gay, leftist and other groups in Berlin.\u003cbr/\u003eUnlike Benedict''s Bavarian homeland, Berlin is largely Protestant, or secular - a leftover of decades of Communist rule.\u003cbr/\u003eYet even in the more staunchly Catholic southwestern city of Freiburg - the final stop on the pope''s journey - a group calling itself \"Freiburg Without the Pope\" has been printing \u003cbr/\u003et-shirts depicting the city''s historic cathedral sheathed in a bright pink condom.\u003cbr/\u003eChurch organisers say the pontiff is aware of the planned protests, but is choosing instead to focus on the 260-thousand people who are expected to attend Masses in Berlin''s Olympic stadium and at an airfield in Freiburg, as well as a historic ecumenical service to be held with German Lutherans in the home of the Reformation.\u003cbr/\u003eThe secretary of the German Bishops Conference, Hans Langendoerfer, said he had no problem with demonstrations.\u003cbr/\u003eHowever, he said he hoped those demonstrating would consider the pope''s \"high ranking personality\".\u003cbr/\u003eRoughly 30 percent of Germany''s 82 (m) million inhabitants are Catholic - an equal number are Lutheran - but the Church has been losing members in recent years.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Vatican''s views on contraception, the role of women, homosexuality and its handling of the sexual abuse scandal that rocked Germany last year are seen by many here as outdated and out-of-touch.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
