So, as you know, the Pope went all Brave Sir Robin today, but apparently it is very, very uncivil to make jokes about The Impressive Clergyman, or to mention that the institution he has led since 2005 has had a bit of a problem with kiddy-diddling priests. Almost as soon as the news was announced, there was a second wave of blog posts decrying the mean, terrible, awful things that "leftists" were saying about the Pope, because leftists and secularists are monsters. Our working theory is that, since it's been 600 years since a Pope departed St. Peter's any other way than feet-first, then saying unkind things about a man in a dress quitting his job is exactly as offensive as mocking the dead. So, please, people, a little respect -- Ratzi isn't even in the ground yet! (And it will be awfully hard for them to dig the grave if too many of us have already pissed on the spot.)
Yes, because Lent is such a quiet, relaxing time in the Catholic church- practically a vacation period. It's the perfect time for the election and installation of a new pope!
They love Nazi Popes, the Catholic League, and the USCCB, basically any Catholic who's all like "shut up about poverty let's only talk about how icky gays are and say "Nein! Nein! Nein!" to birth control"
Just show &#039;em ThinkProgress&#039; <a href="http:\/\/thinkprogress.org\/politics\/2013\/02\/11\/1568171\/what-did-pope-benedict-do-anyway\/" target="_blank">list</a> of lefty things Ratzi said about the environment and economic distribution and Erick the Redneck will be calling him goatfucker by the end of the day.
What can you say about someone who wears red slippers, a bag ass hat, and a silk robe all day? I think he had a thing for his butler.
No, Popes are celibate, not eunuchs.
