...il Papa is apparently shocked.

Pope attacks 'genetic abuse of life'

Hah, poor doddering old fear-monkey, he should be attacking the sexual abuse committed by his legions of paedophilic priests.

I love this quote:

Yes Mr. Potato, they're called "atheists," sheesh, I think Parkinson's has finally eaten what's left of his tiny brain.

Not only do men live as if god does not exist, they have good reason to believe he doesn't exist at all.

And is it me, or is that picture of the cheerleader nuns madly waving pink rags just begging to be photoshopped?

Blesserize!

The Pope told people at the Mass: "He [man] claims for himself a Creator's right to interfere in the mystery of human disease. He wishes to determine human life through penicillin and surgery, and to establish the limits of death."

First thought: Wouldn't abusing the trust of parishioners count as attacks on the family?

Second thought: How loudly does the voice of reason need to be speaking, before people start listening?

First thought: Is that really what liberalism is? After all, since it's a philosophical position, there are some things it has to disallow, to distinguish itself.

Second thought: How is believing that any kind of god or Christ exists freedom? It means giving up a good portion of mental health, of self-determination, of the freedom to do not otherwise harmful things that are declared as sins by the Church...

What is it that convinces so many people God still exists?

-Perchance.

Maybe that's why the Holy Father looks so terrible. He's refused Botox injections, saying they're the spawn of Satan!

Has this senile old buffoon never heard of sanitation? "Mystery" of human disease?
Once we figured out not to defecate in our water supply, 75% of the "mystery" was solved. Jebus may not have seen fit to inform us of the existence of bacteria & viruses, but a clever young dutchman invented the instrument that led to that all important, & apparently blasphemous, discovery. I have heard some outrageous things come out of the mouth of that deluded imbecile, but this latest is downright dangerous.

Sounds to me like the man is just one host short of a jebus.

The Pope sez "He wishes to determine human life through penicillin and surgery..."

Like when the surgeons took that bullet out of the Pope's ass back in the early 80s?

Let's see here, "freedom without truth or responsibility"? You mean like how the Catholic church has handled the pedophile priest scandal?



"The Catholics have a pope. Protestants laugh at them, and yet the pope is capable of intellectual advancement. In addition to this, the pope is mortal, and the church cannot be afflicted with the same idiot forever. The Protestants have a book for a pope. The book cannot advance. Year after year, and century after century, the book remains as ignorant as ever."

--Robert Ingersoll

Er, let's get something straight here - Mad's words as above were a parody of what the Pope said - a legitimate parody, but parody nonetheless. There's a few posts here which treat this as an accurate quote. Of course the Pope didn't say the words that Mad has used; I mean, that would be too honest (as a logical extension of Catholic doctrine) wouldn't it?
