VATICAN CITY — Over the course of his long and controversial career, former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has had many titles. Now he reportedly has one more — adviser to the Pope.

According to the Italian newspaper La Stampa, Pope Benedict XVI has invited the 83-year-old former adviser to Richard Nixon to be a political consultant, and Kissinger has accepted.

Quoting an “authoritative” diplomatic source at the Holy See, the paper reported Nov. 4 that the Nobel laureate was asked at a recent private audience with the Holy Father to form part of a papal “advisory board” on foreign and political affairs.

As the Register went to press, Kissinger’s office was unable to confirm or deny the report. La Stampa stood by its story, although the Italian press is less rigorous in its authentication of stories as is the United States Press.

5. Kissinger is also something else

Zbigniew Brzezinski - Karol Wojtyła (Polish language)

Henry Kissinger - Joseph Ratzinger (German language)

Pope John Paul II was close friends with Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Polish-born national security adviser to President Jimmy Carter, partly because both had a common Polish heritage (though this caused the Soviets to suspect the Vatican of “fixing” the election of Karol Wojtyla, which occurred during the Carter presidency).

Similarly to John Paul and Brzezinski, Benedict and Kissinger are close in age and were both born in Bavaria (a Jew, Kissinger and his family fled Nazi Germany before World War II).

3. How UTTERLY fucking fitting

Two peas in a pod.

Bookmarking this article. Next time I hear about the pope's infallibility I'm gonna ask em why in the hell an infallible oracle would need advice from the asshole who advised the US on its two failed wars and the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands.

Makes you wonder what the hell the church has planned, doesn't it?

I hate religion. It is so fucking useless and so often harmful I don't know how it hasn't killed us all off yet. Yet.

4. My sentiments exactly

Since when does the POPE need a POLITICAL advisor? And yes, religion is the biggest killer in history.

6. Careful Henry,

when things get bad, he'll be asking you to get down on your knees and join him in prayer. Always awkward.
