While browsing a blog that kindly linked to a recent book review I did, I came across his latest blog entry which comments on one of my FAVORITE subjects. The Pope!
The poor bastard has done gone and got his knickers in a twist because of a leaked memo. Apparently the Foreign Office had a little brain storming session about the Popes up coming visit and it leaked. Whoooops.
Check it out here.
The Telegraph covered the leak and subsequent response by the Vatican. One source in child abuse cover up central the Vatican is quoted as saying “This could have very severe repercussions and is embarrassing for the British government – one has to question whether the action taken is enough.” and “It’s even possible the trip could be cancelled as this matter is hugely offensive.”
ACTUALLY, twatwaffle, you know what is offensive? And no, no I won’t go for the easy “what is offensive is how wide spread the catholic churches involvement in child rape and abuse is” but I WILL go for the following: What is offensive is your repulsed reaction to the suggestions within the memo!
- Launch pf “Benedict” condoms
- Review of Vatican attitude on condom use
- Bless a civil partnership
- Reverse of policy on women bishops/ordain women
- Open an abortion ward
- Speech on equality
- Statement on views over adoption (change of stance)
- Training course for all bishops on child abuse allegations
- Harder line on child abuse – sacking of dodgy bishops
- Vatican sponsorship of network of AIDS clinics
- Meet young unemployed people
- Apologise for ………………………………
- Canonise/psuedo canonise a group
- Announce whistle blowing system for child abuse cases
- Go to job centre
- Debate on abortion
- All catholic schools should be free entry to all
- Speech on democracy
- Vatican and C of E funded committee on dialogue
- Launch helpline for abused children
Granted some are facetious and satirical like Pope condoms. Er… wait. That’s the only one. The rest? VALID FUCKING SUGGESTIONS YOU BARBARIC ASSBACKWARDS INSTITUTE OF ABUSE SHELTERERS.
*Deep breath* Sorry, got a lil frustrated there. Lets look at these for a moment please.
- Review of Vatican attitude on condom use
Hahaha
- Bless a civil partnership
What is offensive about blessing the love between two people? The potential that they might be homosexuals in civil partnership? Well we all know how repression of sexuality works don’t we, oh holy institute swarming with child rapists.
- Reverse of policy on women bishops/ordain women
Well, yes, yes I can see why you’d find this offensive. The idea that women are equal and just as capable of men to lead the spiritual lives of the masses is so fucking offensive I just threw up a little in my mouth.
- Open an abortion ward
This one – I can see the offense. But seriously, reproductive rights is a serious issue and you can’t make a blank condemnation of abortion when there are cases happening on a daily basis of rape and incest. Like the 10 year old in Mexico who is pregnant right now by her stepfather. See how abortion might have been an option there? No? Fuck you then ^_^
- Speech on equality
Good god if the Pope gave a speech on equality all those uppity black people, gheys and immigrants might get IDEAS!
- Statement on views over adoption (change of stance)
I… I don’t know what their stance is and I don’t think my little activist brain can handle finding out today. I’ll get back to you on this one.
- Training course for all bishops on child abuse allegations
Well if it’s on how to dodge allegations you fuckers could lead a world wide educational seminar. However, I think the suggestion implies you learn how to deal with them legally and properly while supporting the victim instead of forcing silence and covering up the allegations.
- Harder line on child abuse – sacking of dodgy bishops
BUT THEN THE POPE WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE! Damn straight you sick fucking child abuse enabler. TA TA! Surely it would behoove the whole institute to have a leader who wasn’t involved in covering up child rape and enabling more, but maybe I am just being idealistic again.
- Vatican sponsorship of network of AIDS clinics
AIDs is a reality you bastards and you’re supposed to bring healing and peace to people so HOW IS THIS OFFENSIVE?!
- Meet young unemployed people
God damn dirty hippies. Ignore this one Pope, no one expects you to meet the disenfranchised.
- Apologise for ………………………………
THE CRUSADES? THE CHILD ABUSE COVER UPS? THE RACISM? Oh I’ll stop there cause I could go on forEVER.
- Canonise/psuedo canonise a group
I don’t even get this so I’ll leave it be.
- Announce whistle blowing system for child abuse cases
Oh god, oh god, oh god, you’d lose too many priests and bishops wouldn’t you?! Can’t have that now! Again HOW THE FUCK IS THIS OFFENSIVE?!
- Go to job centre
Those damn disenfranchised again!
- Debate on abortion
You’d think you’d like this one because if abortion was allowed there’s the potential to cover up more rape…..
- All catholic schools should be free entry to all
Well. All I’m gonna say is you have enough money to do this as an institute but I am glad you won’t because you sexually repressed assbackwards medieval fucks do not need to be indoctrinating more children, or indeed have access to them.
- Speech on democracy
Hahahaha zomg the OFFENSE OF DEMOCRACY!
- Vatican and C of E funded committee on dialogue
Over my head, sorry folks.
- Launch helpline for abused children
God no, don’t help the children. It would fly in the face of everything you’ve been striving for all these years!!!!
Yanno why I hope this gets sorted and De Fadder comes to the UK? So Dawkins can go ahead with his plan to have the Pope arrested for crimes against humanity.
But seriously. This is absurd. Most of the stuff on that list is basic human rights stuff. Are they offended because of what it suggests about them? They are GUILTY of what it suggests. They have been for years. What is even more sickening than the fact that they are guilty of so many human rights violations is that they continue to play victim and are avoiding being brought to justice for their wrong doings. That the victims of the various crimes this institute covers up have seen no justice as of yet and that when it is suggested that the catholic church puts child protection measures in place they get so deeply offended they threaten that there could be long term repercussions for Britain.
In sort, stfu “highly placed source in the Vatican” and quit defending the indefensible.
Her Wholly Ideals
