Pope condemns 'evil' and 'sorcery.'

8. Hey, he's not nekkid in that pic!
:wow:

Of course, they all look like anorexic Tinky Winky figures or, if nothing else, something left behind by Grimace's intestinal tract after eating one too many uncooked Big Macs...

14. Oh, the irony is just too fabulous!
Mr Pope Person carting his holy ass all over the so-called "savage" nations trying to convince the people that HIS brand of sorcery (complete with holy ghosts, spirits, angels, and a blazing pit called Hell guarded by the head Demon) is waaaaay better, and makes more sense, than theirs.

17. OMFG! Is that really a picture of him? Jeezus, he
has this really devious look on his face. Kinda like someone who is looking you in the eye while he plunges a knife in your gut. That's freaky!
