Just been sent this delicious journalistic turn of phrase via Facebook. Seems legit to me:

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Pope 'could be sued over child abuse'
Date:- February 12, 2013

Quote:Australian human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson says Pope Benedict's resignation could expose him to lawsuits from victims of pedophile priests.
Robertson, writing in UK newspaper the Independent, argues the Pope's resignation is "merely expedient" as he'd become too old to cope in the job.
"It would have been both astonishing and courageous, a few years ago, had it been offered in atonement for the atrocity to which he had for 30 years turned a blind eye - the rape, buggery and molestation of tens of thousands of small boys in priestly care," writes the author of The Case of The Pope: Vatican Accountability for Human Rights Abuse.
Robertson, based in London, argues the Pope's "command responsibility" goes back to 1981 when he was appointed head of the Vatican body that disciplines errant priests.

They asked me take on the role of pope again but I passed.
It's no fun any more, long, extra extra long, macro lenses, they're all pointed our way now.
You'd never get a chestnut passed, don't even try it with fifty honest prostitutes.
Bennie made the right decision, retire to the nunnery, it's nice there.

I read this this morning: https://lightworkersxm.wordpress.com/201...and-dates/

I have no idea if it's a legitimate source but I've read similar but not quite as scathing grumblings over the internet since yesterday.


As for the gay thing and Ghanaian Cardinal, Peter Turkson, that's some serious shit: http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/pope-...laws110213
I see genocide of gays in the future, if it isn't happening on some low level right not and I think it might be. I would be absolutely horrified if they put that asshole in charge...wait they already have. I mean if they promoted that asshole and gave him even more power and influence. It would show that the RCC has no real intention of even wafting itself near the modern world, nor will it show it has any compassion, nor political and social responsibility beyond that which serves their selfish and sick needs.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
