World Awaits Papal Aide’s Apology

[ZombieHorde]

A senior papal aide, Cardinal Walter Kasper is expected to say sorry to the world specifically to the United Kingdom for allegedly remarking “third world” pertaining to the UK after arriving at Heathrow airport.

Additionally, the aide also supposedly told Focus, a German magazine, that the UK showed a new and aggressive atheism. With the two statements he allegedly made, a Catholic Church leader based in Scotland, Cardinal Keith O’Brien remarked that he anticipates for the apology of the Catholic official.

O’Brien, however, called the said comment as unfortunate and that individuals do utter awkward and difficult remarks and that apologizing is warranted for such behavior and Kasper, on his part, will surely say sorry.

While Kasper is not part of the pope’s UK visit because of his gout, the pope will have to face several protesters made by groups specifically humanist, secular, atheist and gay rights groups. As expected, he will be handling public concerns about the controversial sexual abuses made by some priests, priest celibacy and the ordination of women into priesthood.

The Catholic Church defended Kasper’s remarks saying that the third world statement pertained to the UK’s multicultural society.

1. New popemobile, I see... snazzy glass cage.

But, of all the things I can think that the Vatican has to apologize to, somehow this doesn't make the top of the list. :shrug:

3. Of course. Benny Sixteen tossed a little business to his homies at Mercedes. n/t

6. I noticed that, too....

(and the snark would have written itself, had I not restrained myself)

2. Daimler, Ratzi

both vestiges of the old Nazi war machine

4. And, to a large extent, the church itself. The Vatican "rat line" helped hundreds of nazis

relocate with new names and identities and Vatican passports. And if the absolute truth be told, the hands of the United States are NOT clean either, not by a long shot.

10. Pius XII knew about the Jews

but did nothing

[Raster]

5. I find it absolutely hilarious that anyone from any tired, antiquated religion would refer to any

nation as "third world." Love the graphic. Thank you.

7. I know it is not nice to say but the Pope's face

scares the daylights out of me.

9. Every time I see it I think of the Emperor's March from 'Star Wars'.

Can't help it.

8. Is Valter Kaasper another ex-Nazi?

UK is third world because it is no longer racially pure?
