The work of the Inquisition

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, (that's the new name for the Inquisition) got been busy on behalf of Pope Benedict XVI defrocking child-molesting priests at a rate of more than one every two days in the last few years of his reign.

The cull of the paedo' priests came into the public gaze when the United Nations human rights committee in Geneva quizzed the Vatican over its human rights record in relation to children.

 

The old Pontiff didn't do equality

The headlines read 'Pope attacks Labour's equality laws'. Well, actually he was only attacking the bit about letting homosexuals run riot in his churches and the new ConDem Act does nothing to allay his rage. As he says: “it actually violates natural law” and these laws "impose unjust limitations on the freedom of religious communities to act in accordance with their beliefs".

Roughly translated, the Catholic Church has no time for gender benders and gay lords and should be treated as a special case beyond State legislation.

The reason the church has no time available for gays is because all of its time is consumed by excusing the buggery of its representatives.

And it must preserve its closed door policy to a changing world. Otherwise it would have to recognise that the Catholic Church is naturally unequal, with all its cardinals, archbishops, bishops, priests and flocks - and the Pope sitting right at the top, and doing very nicely thank you.

The Exorcist

Father Gabriel Amorth, 85, says he's carried out 70,000 exorcisms (he might be exaggerating the number of devils he's seen off) stands as a symbol of everything that's wrong with the Catholic Church, i.e., he's stuck in a medieval timewarp. He has denounced yoga and Harry Potter as the 'work of the Devil'.

However, Gabriel Amorth is an honest man, more than once he has told the media about his concerns over murder, mobsters, and sex scandals at the Vatican. In particular, relating to the disappearance of a 15 year old girl, said to have been used for sex parties at the Vatican.

The good father should perhaps investigate the unsolved murder of God's Banker, Roberto Calvi, late of Banco Ambrosiano, found hanging under Blackfriars Bridge in 1982, his pockets filled with cash and precious stones. The police believed he was murdered by the Mafia after a bungled money laundering operation. The death of Calvi was hurriedly hushed up and a key witness, Paul Marcinkus, chief of the Vatican bank, refused to talk to the police but he was fingered for the deed by mobster's moll, Sabrina Minardi.

"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people". Marx 1843

Not any more Karl, not any more; increasingly science is attempting to occupy the space vacated by organised religion.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pope Francis
in
Ireland 2018

 

During his visit the Pope took on the guise of a postman, delivering messages on everything under the sun. Importantly, he said that a society that did not look after grandparents was lost. He also cautioned against over-use of social media because of the damage caused. He had no message for choir boys on the need to avoid paedophile priests.

The pope said the cover-up of abuse in the Vatican was ‘caca’. A translator interpreted this as ‘filth you would see in the toilet’. Very good Mr Pope but what do you intend to do to make restitution to the thousands abused in Ireland by your money collectors.

We were told that the Pope Show was a sell out, with all 500,000 tickets sold in advance. Not true, they only sold half of the tickets!
