Gladdens my heart

[skepticscott]

To see (at least a few) DUers finally opening their eyes and acknowledging what a bigot the pope is. Still saddens me, though, that so many supposed progressives were so ga-ga over him at all, and that many still are.

1. Yes, but astonishing that "progressive" people should fall for this crap in the first place!

The same people that were condemning Kim Davis as a repulsive bigot were raving that Blank Frank was "inspiring" and wonderful.

19. All it takes sometimes is the right uniform

voila! Instant respect!


(Take it from a costume designer)

2. And not only go ga-ga over the pope,

but attack anyone who points out he's a bigot. DUers fighting for LGBTQ equality and reproductive choice are somehow the enemies to be silenced, and NOT the guy leading a billion-person-strong organization with uncountable wealth who is actively (and literally!) preaching against both.

4. Restores my faith

in our jury system.

No one would get hidden for calling a Republican politician with the same positions as the pope those names. Why should Blank Frank get a pass?

5. I am tired of fighting the Frank-o-phile so I will post this here instead

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]The pope was invited to speak to Homeless, LGBTQ, Catholic Youths.

Nope, fuck that. But he did take time to meet with Kim Davis!

What great priorities, huh? [/font]

6. But...but..he's an inspiration to us all!!

Right? Well, ok..some of us more than others (yeah, you). Myself, I'm way out in front of Blank Frank on pretty much every issue, whereas he's either late to the party or disgustingly wrong. I'm thinking he should be getting his inspiration from ME!

7. Pope Scott Has a nice ring to it, but Doesn't Heddi already have claim on that title? nt

[skepticscott]

8. Married co-popes

is a possibility. Or I might just have one of those secret conspiratorial Vatican hits squads whack her.

[Heddi]

9. Hey I can still READ I'm not timed-out yet

(all apologies to AC PBUH)

don't make me pull out the boobs. I will totally pull out the boobs.

[skepticscott]

10. I will glue little red hats

on BOTH of your sub-popes. If you force me to.

[Heddi]

11. like pasties?

I got some pasties at the burleque a few months ago. I thought they were $10 a pair but they were $30. By the time I found out I was too far into the deal to withdraw. So I paid $30 for some hand-made-by-a-burlesque-performer pasties. They're purple



I haven't used them yet. You apply them with double-sided tape. Double damn sided tape. Who knew?!

[skepticscott]

12. Popes don't get the tassles

[Heddi]

14. Like hell they don't

I don't know if I can go for a religion that doesn't allow for tassels.

Oh let me guess Mr. Big Guy -- what's next -- no glitter?

jesus. You people and your reformations

[skepticscott]

15. Moderation, modesty and humility are required

In other words, you are going to suck as pope.

[Heddi]

17. Darn tootin'

I wish I was as noble as Billy Jack. Half Indian, Half White Ex-Green Beret. He stood his ground, and kicked motherfuckers in the face.

[skepticscott]

18. He was about as un-popish

as you could imagine. But he had a cooler hat than the pontiff.

[AlbertCat]

21. Double damn sided tape.

Toupee tape is an essential component of every on-set wardrobe persons' supply box.

[Heddi]

13. No offense, but Pope Scott sounds as authentic as Grandma Heather does

our modern names weren't meant for these antiquated titles I'm afraid.

Hey look! It's grampa Jaedhyne! And Aunt Raeheyennahgh

22. Hey look! It's grampa Jaedhyne! And Aunt Raeheyennahgh

16. Well said, LO4E.

Those telling us to stop hating the homophobia and misogyny of the RCC have questionable priories as well.

[AlbertCat]

20. He did eat with some homeless, didn't he?

How dare he take their food!!!!

(or did he take them all to a nice Italian restaurant?)

[PeaceNikki]

23. I swore this said, "He did eat some homeless, didn't he?"

I guess that's just the baby-eating Atheist in me showing.
