New Pope Probably Getting Ready To Announce Vatican III, Mandatory Gay Marriages




Man, we are pretty jealous of the person who got to write the headline for the AP article on the big Pope Francis and His Cardinals Jamboree this week, because they somehow slipped “Pope Opens Big Week With Sex, Divorce On Agenda” past their editors. Believe the hype of the headline, though, because our current fave pope, New Pope, is taking on the many many third rails of the Catholic Church, most of which involve whom you have sex with and when.

Meetings this week between Pope Francis and his cardinals will deal with some of the thorniest issues facing the church, including the rejection by most Catholics of some of its core teaching on premarital sex, contraception, gays and divorce.

German Cardinal Walter Kasper, who has called for “changes and openings” in the church’s treatment of divorced and remarried Catholics, will give the keynote speech Thursday to the pope and cardinals attending a preparatory meeting for an October summit on family issues.

Can you imagine how mad-making this is to the conservative wingnut wing of the Church! A keynote! On how we maybe shouldn’t just shun and/or stone people who get divorced! This is some fucking progress, people.

Must be a blue moon. But parody is allowed to sink into stupidity.
