Papal Piffle

There are times when some people just need to be told to shut the fuck up.

I'm finding it real hard to commiserate with Pope Benedict's anger over this silly art display. It's especially galling considering the fact that the clubby little organization that he presently presides over has been the largest known and organized child-molestation ring in history.

"It's blasphemous," says the outraged Pope.

Oh yeah Benny, go ahead and complain about the horror of that poor, crucifed rubber frog to all the kids who've been buggered and fondled by your pedophile priests over the past 50 years. Your faux outrage, will no doubt, illicit a bountiful wealth of understanding and sympathy from them.

I know this commentary will not endear me to my Catholic friends, but this story is just so inane on so many levels, it practically begs for ridicule.

BTW --- who gave Benny the power to decide what's art and what isn't and who is allowed to view it? Stick to saving wretched souls Benny. And a good place for you to start would be in the rectories of your own churches.
