So, we have a new Pope, or, well, the Catholics have a new Pope; me, not so much.
But they went all Latino this time and pandered to the Hispanics who represent the largest group of Catholics in the world and picked Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, who—rumor has it—was First runner Up in the last Miss Pope Pageant when Benny was crowned.
He has already chosen the name Pope Francis I, and I have already begun calling him Pope Frankie Goes To Hollywood. …. Relax …. don’t do it …..
But the new pope is the same as the old pope: he’s a gay hater. He strongly opposed legislation introduced in 2010 by the Argentine Government to allow same-sex marriage, saying, "Let's not be naive, we're not talking about a simple political battle; it is a destructive pretension against the plan of God. We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God."
He has also insisted that adoption by homosexuals is a form of discrimination against children. This from a member of an organization that has systematically allowed children to be raped by its members. This from an organization that has let millions of children starve while their leader wears The Red Prada Slip-On and sits upon a Golden Throne bedazzled with jewels.
Like I said, same as the old pope …. And the older popes.

Rand Paul talked about robotic squirrels today. Abby is concerned and is out in the backyard right now looking for one.
ReplyDeleteBiebs is such a douche nozzle I'm ashamed to admit he's part of Leafs Nation.

ReplyDeleteda bieb, MGB, graham - has beens; so over! so past their 15 seconds of fame!
The new pope is about as un-Latino as you can get while still being born in a Latin American country. His parents were fresh-off-the-boat Italian immigrants living in the most European of all Latin America countries. Many people in Buenos Aires consider themselves European and BA a part of Europe that sort of...floated down. One of the saddest part is when the only upside is at least he's not technically a Nazi.
ReplyDeleteActually Pope Frankie is Italian by ancestry. His parents emigrated to Argentina.
ReplyDeleteSo he's no more Latino than I am.
