I can see the news for the next few days is going to be "ALL POPE - ALL THE TIME"
Fuck this miserable old pedophile.

Oh, Fuck....

What, you don't like the Pontiff? I'm shocked, sir, shocked!
"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool." - Richard P. Feynman
Almost as despicable as the 'murrican media!
Legally, how much could an atheist or protestant be inconvenienced by all this government hoopla and folderol for the Pope ?
And I realize there is no chance of alleviating the cluster fuckingnessism of it all, still, I want to raise the issue. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
One wonders how much is being spent to protect his sorry ass.

Pope Francis has been quite clear on his disdain of pedo priests and those who sheltered them, and ordered a thorough investigation and housecleaning almost immediately on taking office.
He has come out directly and stated that the Big Bang and the Theory of Evolution are not only correct, but central to an understanding of the process of creation according to Catholic doctrine. He has also argued against the positions of the US Republicans and their world-destroying greed, which is why they're attacking him on the news. It has been fun to watch the uber-conservative American Christians try to explain why his homilies about service and sacrifice on behalf of the poor and downtrodden is "not really Christlike". I may not agree with his religion, but Pope Francis is one of my favorite people on earth, right now.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.  RE: Oh, Fuck....

Then, he keeps making attempts to make himself look like such a humble person. The part where he got picked up in a Fiat (I'm sure they spent quite a bit filling it with armor and bullet proof glass), I was thinking to myself, more wasted money. He could have just gotten in one of the presidential limos, but nooooo, the pope must constantly put on this humble show for everyone while the media buys or acts like they buy into that bullshit. Meanwhile, back at home, he lives in a disgustingly rich palace. HE TAKES BUS! Give that man a fucking medal!
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
This is not the place for your bullshit, Rocket.
 If I want to use faulty justifications and unwarranted suspicions to heap vitriol upon a person whose only relevance to me is media over-saturation, why that's just my Gwynnies gifted American right!
He's just better at marketing than the tired old fucks who came before him.
In as tightly knit an organization as the church there is no way in hell he did not know what was going on in regards to the pervert priest scandal. The tentacles reached too high up. He's a bullshit artist in a dress. |
