  • That dovetails in with a conspiracy theory my weird mind came up with this morning (from a couple of rad-trad Catholic blogs I read, if you combine them):

    In 1963, the Masonic Pope John XIII convened Vatican II to get the Roman Catholic Church to change it's teaching about God in a very fundamental way. God was no longer the wrathful judge and strict father figure we had grown to love, no, suddenly he's smokin' ganga and handing out mercy to any sinner who asks.

    Fast forward 10 years, and a priest in Wiscons

    • Holy crap you are a hateful bastard.

      And don't worry, Ratzo is working overtime to undo whatever good was done in Vatican II. Incidentally, I don't see how that dovetails with your conspiracy theory at all. Ratzo's your guy, and has never been shy about his beliefs. He wouldn't listen to "The Liberals" or "The Gays" then, and he wouldn't now. A much more rational explanation is institutional corruption which has been a problem in the Church for millenia, but you can't see it because it doesn't fit into your

      • Yes, I'm anti-enligtenment, but if you can't recognize a satire when you see one (let alone how incredibly illogical it would be to link Hippies, Masons, and the Main Stream Media into an Illuninati-like group; especially since traditionally in conspiracy theories two of those are OUTSIDE the controlling core) then I've got a bridge over Crooked Finger Canyon that needs a purchaser.

        Now onto your points:
        "He wouldn't listen to "The Liberals" or "The Gays" then, and he wouldn't now. "-
        And yet, he seems to have

        • I'm too lazy to enumerate the various scandals the Church has been through, sexual and otherwise, in nearly two thousand years. You can look them up, but you'll have to check sources that are not Jihadi Catholic blogs. You could also check out the incidence of sexual abuse among all denominations, and indeed the general population.

          The scandal is not The Gays or The Liberals; it is an institution which is historically insular and immune to the protests of nation-states' authorities, and had no inhibition tow

          • "Would you support Pope Benedict XVI executing clergy and holding trials with their rotting corpses propped up in the courtroom? I'm guessing you would."

            So would the New York Times, it appears-since they're complaining about him failing to support a trial of a priest after he died *specifically*.

            Archbishop Weakland is gay, and was the one who brought the charges against Fr. Murphy. This is the facts of the case we're actually concerned with, unlike your imagined multitudes of errors that don't hold up to s

  • I saw a place in a strip mall that just had the title Pilates for its sign. My first thought was "Why would someone name a place after that guy? Maybe I should open a deli called Iscariot's."

    It turns out it's some kind of exercise thing.

    Also, it must of kind of sucked for the other apostle Judas. Constantly having to say "No! I'm not that Judas!"

  • Cheering on a murderer, it must be noted, is tasteless though.
    • Don't be so glib. Pilate was an administrator. He's no more a murderer than Bush or Obama. Running an empire is hard work.
      • Who is glib, again?
        Or are you one of those who thinks a career in public service makes the occasional rubout OK, e.g. Mary Jo Kopechne [wikipedia.org].
        Before you know it, you'll differentiate between actions undertaken in carrying out an office vs. private life, and find yourself a Bush apologist.
        You've got credibility at stake here.
