More about the Yule Goat
The hilarious thing is if the Vatican were to ever come under attack, the scene would look like a real-life Sodom and Gomorrah:
Ancient sissies in their dresses and/or disco capes, screaming like girls and hanging onto their little preteen boy toys for dear life.
Those old queens in their pretend country have no room to condemn gay people, because what they're up to is a million times worse than homosexuality.
This Pope is a drag queen-esque retro-vestment laughingstock without even considering the black-rimmed eyes, humped posture and dirty, stained fingers...Pope Gollum the 1st!

Total assholes.
Catholics had a lot to do with the passage of Prop 8 in California. Here’s an idea for a new proposition: since there have been, ummm, problems with Catholic priests and children, let’s change the California constitution to read that Catholic priests must stay a minimum of 100 ft away from children at all times.
Catholics: you wouldn’t argue with “the will of the majority” would you?
What a cool mom she was.
Religion is overrated..... Why can't I find such gullible people when i'm working in Sales? :-(
John XXIII was a full blown liberal of the most progressive stripe which is why Ratman hates him so much. At Vatican II, he had invited Muslims, Buddhists and others to attend even the most serious discussions though they weren't allowed to participate. He had gone far beyond accepting the Orthodox churches to opening up the church to all. He was also very accepting of gays.
Ratman needs to remember the accusations against Pius XII cooperating with the Nazis. He makes those seem true since the Nazis first exterminated the sick, lame, ill and weak then the gays. The Jews were the third group to be targeted for extermination.
Now we know the memory of John XXIII deserves contempt.
"The 69-page Latin document bearing the seal of Pope John XXIII was sent to every bishop in the world. The instructions outline a policy of 'strictest' secrecy in dealing with allegations of sexual abuse and threatens those who speak out with excommunication..."
They aren't moral authorities. They're moral snobs.
Waving their big cock-symbols wearing their big cock-head hats, what a bunch of evil pricks.
What say we launch a campaign to boycott organized religion?
This applies to the Tom Delays of this world and all the Southerners in Congress, for starters.

Still, Pope Nosferatu has a way to go before he'll reach the level of his exalted predecessors, like Innocent III. Caedite eos novit enim dominus qui sunt eius...
The church can continue to excommunicate people, deny them communion, but can't we stop nations from killing them??? No? NOOOO??!!
If you haven't seen it yet, you would probably LOVE the movie "Religulous". In it Bill Maher interviews a number of braindead biblethumpers for laughs. He also finds some really interesting people like an American priest touring the Vatican. After getting thrown out of the Vatican, Maher interviews the priest in Vatican Square. Pointing to St. Peter's, Maher asks the priest if all this is what Christ had in mind. "Of course not" replied the priest with a laugh. He went on to catalog a list of ridiculous Catholic teachings. When asked by Maher if the older generation of Catholics would ever see things differently he replied, "Of course not. Let 'em die with their beliefs."
I got the impression that the refreshingly honest priest believed that the younger generation of Catholics would be more open to what Christ really intended, but I don't necessarily share his sense of hope. Seems to me John Paul II and Pope Ratzinger have completely buried the reforms of John XXIII, and have appointed only the most constipated conservatives to various Church offices. The Church is growing more conservative by the day, and so are most observing Catholics I think, though happily their numbers are diminishing in civilized countries.
CHRISTIAN, n. One who believes that the New Testament is a divinely
inspired book admirably suited to the spiritual needs of his neighbor.
One who follows the teachings of Christ in so far as they are not
inconsistent with a life of sin.

Now, it is religious discrimination if you don't decapitate people I dislike. The Vatican seems to have been paying attention to the one-man "Catholic League" who says anyone who disagrees with the Church in any way is mounting a vicious anti-Catholic attack.
The Catholic church appears to be loaded with people who like having sex with children.
Pedophile=A sick person who takes advantage of children
Gay=A person who has consenting sex with adults
See how it works?!
Just before I held out my own hand for a ruler thwack, I realized that gluteus maximus is masculine, and maximæ is a feminine plural.
So there you are: my Latin grammar being at work, and my home computer being too damn slow to google a bit of Latin, I checked Miriam Webster's Third New International Dictionary. Glutei maximi. (Did you know there is also a gluteus minimus?)
THWACK!
Is there really a geuteus minimus? Certainly not in our house.
Then their tax exempt status should be removed and retro taxes paid for minimally this year. Then the FBI needs to investigate all cases of abuse and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law - for real now.
Let's see what else? Oh yes, then the Secret Service needs to investigate all these Bishops, etc who are saying voting for Obama is a sin under domestic terrorism (putting terror and fear into members for going against the churches wishes) and hate crimes.
One more thing - DHHS and CMS need to go after any religious affiliated hospital who refuses to provide or pay for FDA approved medications (birth control) and procedures (sterilization, abortions when mother's health is at risk). If they don't like it then they can sell those facilities (perhaps to the government).
That is a good start for now ......
He was branded as a mortal sinner because he refused to become an altar boy after hearing from those who did about Father's tendence to genuflect before them in the vestry.
But actually I did exaggerate. Sister Benedict was never confined in a home for the permanently menopausal, and as far as I know there is no such place. I just made it up. She was actually locked up in the State mental hospital. They probably had a special wing for nuns.
Should "almighty" be capitalized?
By the way, RitornaVincitor, I am a big fan of your wit, wisdom, and breadth of knowledge. Particulary the wit.
As for Senator Santori, I suspect it would more likely be Dog-on-Man. He's such a bitch.
(I suspect most Catholics in the US are more enlightened than the near-fossils at the Vatican.)
And my self-taught student keeps singing: "What a fact, what a fact for an autodidact."
The Inquisition (Let's begin)
The Inquisition (Look out sin)
We have a mission to convert the Jews (Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew)
We're gonna teach them wrong from right.
We're gonna help them see the light
and make an offer that they can't refuse. (That those Jews just can't refuse)
Confess, don't be boring.Spanish Inquisition
Say yes, don't be dull.
A fact you're ignoring:
It's better to lose your skull cap than your skull (oy govalt!)
The Inquisition (what a show)
The Inquistion (here we go)
We know you're wishin' that we'd go away.
But the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay!
"I was sitting in a temple. I was minding my own business.
I was listening to a lovely Hebrew mass.
Then these Papist persons plunged in and they throw me in a dungeon and they shove a red hot poker up my ass.
Is that considerate? Is that polite?
And not a tube of Preparation H in sight!"
"I'm sittin' flickin' chickens and I'm lookin' throught the pickins' and suddenly these goyim pull down valls.
I didn't even know them and they grabbed my by the stoghum and started playing ping pong with my balls!
Ooh, the agony! Ooh, the shame!
To make my privates public for a game?"
The Inquisition (what a show)
The Inquisition (here we go)
We know you're wishin' that we'd go away.
But the Inquisition's here and it's here to-
"Hey Toquemada, walk this way."
"I just got back from the Auto-de-fe."
"Auto-de-fe? What's an Auto-de-fe?"
"It's what you oughtn't to do but you do anyway."
Will you convert? "No, no, no, no."
Will you confess? "No, no, no, no."
Will you revert? "No, no, no, no."
Will you say yes? "No, no, no, no!"
Now I asked in a nice way, I said, "Pretty please."
I bent their ears, now I'll work on their knees!
"Hey Toquemada, walk this way. We got a little game that you might wanna play, so pull that handle, try you're luck."
"Who knows, Toq, you might win a buck!"
"How we doin', any converts today?"
"Not a one, nay, nay, nay."
"We flattened their fingers, we branded their buns!
Nothing is working! Send in the nuns!"
The Inquisition, what a show.
The Inquisition, here we go.
We know you're wishin' that we'd go away!
So all you Muslims and you Jews
We got big news for all of yous:
You'd better change your point of views TODAY!
'Cause the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay!
As a catholic I cant say I'm terribly happy with the Vatican since the loss of John Paul- but I wont get bogged down in theological rants.
