THATCHER: The Crying Game.
During the last week, the disingenuousness of the rabble-rousing Socialist press has plumbed new depths. In fact, in the last few days, they truly dived the Mariana Trench of modern journalism. They have taken every opportunity to vilify a confused [...]
Today's message from the Pope was clear. He said that the Church's mission was to "defend the poor and disadvantaged". Start with Greece and Cyprus, mate. Then the rest of the Eurozone.
Here we go! The Vatican has denied that Pope Francis failed to speak out against human rights abuses during military rule in his native Argentina. HERE.
Pope Francis: The Vatspin Machine is already briefing that the new Pope is "ever so 'umble" and that he "takes the bus". We'll allow the world's Catholics and those dewy-eyed St Peter's Square groupies a few days of post-white-smoke euphoria, away [...]
Popetastic!
I am NOT writing this because I'm a sick dude. I am writing it because I am totally cynical in respect of all of the machinations, exaggerations, theatre and downright nonsense of the senior Men in Frocks who run the Holy Roman Church. Here [...]
50 Predictions for 2013
Last year's predictions are HERE. Some were right, some were nearly right whilst others were nowhere near! That's because most forecasting is a mixture of extrapolation, conjecture, wishful-thinking and luck..............apart, that is, political [...]
Eurozone – a new religion?
The Eurozone has gradually and imperceptibly acquired all the unsavoury aspects of a religion - and we don't even appear to have noticed! For instance, Greece is having to do PENANCE (austerity) as punishment for its past sins. Others are already [...]
Insoluble Syria?
These kids are NOT sleeping. They're dead. Syria: Usually in a Civil War, the model is pretty straightforward: The Good Guys versus the Bad Guys. In Syria, they appear to have adopted to European Union Organisational model with LOTS of Chiefs and [...]
Central Bankers – The Fifth Estate.
Nowadays, the bank to government to Central Bank and back to bank cross-border flows of money (both real and imaginary), the constant borrowing and re-borrowing , the bond auctions etc. appear to be behaving as if controlled by a separate, [...]
Morton’s Fork lives!
Libya Post-Saddam-type chaos in Libya will NOT be avoided. That's nigh-on impossible. One of the overlooked plans of the Iraq campaign was the Exit Strategy. Well, bugger me, the West has done it again in Libya. The next major initiative will be [...]
The Petulant One
"I condemn you, Gaddafi!!" William Hague briefly came out from behind America's voluminous skirts a couple of days ago to announce that the Libyan embassy was to be cleared of pro Gaddafi officials and that they would be replaced by rebels. Has [...]
Still no Vatican zero-tolerance
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican told bishops around the world Monday that they must make it a global priority to root out sexual abuse of children by priests. The Roman Catholic Church told bishops in a letter that they should cooperate with [...]
Gaddafi the Dictator-King
Muammar Gaddafi has probably been studied by the West more than any other post-war leader, yet, judging by the way that he is being treated by the anti Gaddafi, pro-rebel Coalition, it is plain to see that to them, he is still an enigma. Over [...]
King Gaddafi and Machtpolitik
What is it about monarchical and family rule that makes it all the rage these days? Single-party regimes seem as common as democracies but their development into family businesses is a new development - or is it? What has kept these families in [...]
USA to stop shooting
THIS IS DIRECT FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS: US to pull out of Libya air attacks The Pentagon is about to pull its attack planes out of the international air campaign in Libya, hoping Nato partners can take up the slack. The announcement drew [...]
Libyan Arms-for-Rebels Resolution.
WOULD YOU BUY A GUN FROM THIS LADY? There appears to be a debate as to whether or not UN Resolution 1973 gives the Coalition/NATO etc., currently bombing Libya, the permission to supply arms to Libyan rebels. The simple answer is [...]
In the steps of Jesus?
Henry Bellingham, (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Africa and the United Nations), Foreign and Commonwealth Office, made a statement last week about the expenses incurred by the taxpayer as a result of Pope Ratzinger's visit to the [...]
Bless me iPhone, for I have sinned
NEW YORK (Reuters) – An iPhone app aimed at helping Catholics through confession and encouraging lapsed followers back to the faith has been sanctioned by the Catholic Church in the United States. Confession: A Roman Catholic app, thought to [...]
Altar Love
As usual, please do not read this as you may find it offensive, especially if you are a Catholic Priest or Vatican employee. Tony Walsh was an Elvis impersonator and was known by some as "The singing priest". To others he was simply known [...]
The ghost of Roberto Calvi
Apart from doing God's work on Earth, the Vatican is also renowned for self-inflicted scandals - both sexual and financial. This week yet another wave of Vatican fiscal turbulence has hit the headlines. The latest is by no means the first [...]
Condom Confusion
The Vatican has once again clarified the pope's controversial views on condoms and HIV. This THIRD clarification by the Holy See says that he had NOT suggested that condom use could be condoned (sic!) as a means of avoiding [...]
Ratz Ass 2
The Vatican Public Relations machine has lifted its skirts a tiptoed into the winter sunshine. Two weeks ago, the PR men caught our attention with Condomgate and last week they issued a statement indicating that the pope would be happy to ride [...]
Pope’s Embryo
"For all the good that one of these does, you might as well shove it up your ass" There is much confusion and theological discussion about Pope Ratz' apparently softening views on contraception and the fact that he has appeared to support the use [...]
Condom Vatican-love is cool!
Pope Ratz pontificating on the subject of correct condom deployment is akin to Josef Fritzl sharing his views on good parenting. Morbidly fascinating but in reality totally valueless. In the good old days, one expected popes, priests and [...]
The Enlightened Belgian Bishop.
If you are a devout Catholic, please do not read this. It is offensive. However, it is offensive for a reason. There are many of us who have little or no respect for a church so heavily populated by perverts without conscience. Their way of life, [...]
Sex victims blocked by Vatican
Below is a piece by Nicole Winfield of ASSOCIATED PRESS. It once again reminds us that, in spite of fine words from the Vatican, there are still many thousands of people who have been sexually abused by Catholic priests who are either [...]
Ratz deserts the sinking shi*s
The Popejet has finally left this green and pleasant land. As predicted, thanks to a the combination of Pope-propaganda and tens of thousands of infatuated flag wavers, droolers and the intellectually stunted, Pope Ratz has morphed. Whereas [...]
Pope Benedict – Mile high!
The Vatican crossed-keys emblem is already casting its wide, bigoted and bloated shadow over the United Kingdom - and that was before Pope Ratz had been lifted onto the Popejet clutching his maximum allowance of Holy Water. A member of the [...]
Pope’s visit.Why?
"Look on the bright side. Jesus loves you." It is estimated that the number of Roman Catholics in the United Kingdom is near 6 million - about 9% of the population. That number has been greatly boosted by various Polish migrations during the last [...]
Pope Ratz? Seemples!
The Polish Pope Jean-Paul ll was universally loved and respected from Day1 - even before he'd spoken to the world. Contrast that to the scary Pope Benedict who pontificates and looks like the bastard child of Heinrich Himmler and an albino [...]
I’m a Celibate. Get me out of here!
Religious organisations are notoriosly bad at marketing and Pope Ratz' visit to the United Kingdom is no exception. There is the usual collection of Ratz tea mugs, T-shirts and Rosaries. Below is a selection of major missed opportunities which, [...]
The Pope and the Dollar
Later this week, many of the faithful will be flocking to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Birmingham and London to bask in the holiness of...... His Holiness and maybe to indulge in a bit of mild Holy-Spirit-induced crowd hysteria. The Pope is coming to [...]
The Perverts’ Club
The Vatican has revised its in-house rules to deal with clerical sex abuse cases , targeting priests who molest the mentally disabled as well as children and doubling the statute of limitations for such crimes. Abuse victims said the rules are [...]
God’s Word and Selective Belief
Brian: "All right! I am the Messiah!" Followers: "He is! He is the Messiah!" Brian: " Now, fuck off!" Arthur: "How shall we fuck off, O Lord? ..." In her American radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger, an observant Orthodox Jew, said [...]
Popetastic Visit!
Cardinal Newman The Popiscopalian plane will be landing in Scotland on 16th September 2010, so we only have about two months in which to absorb all the generally accepted Catholic mumbo-jumbo, concepts, ceremony and prejudices. So much confusion [...]
Marcial Maciel – Catholic extraordinnaire!
"Do you want to love God, boy ?" You may be forgiven for not knowing the name Marcial Maciel but when you hear just a few facts about him, you may make a pretty accurate guess. It is the fact that you will be able to guess this gentleman's [...]
Belgian shockolates!
"Time for your penance" "Germans have no sense of humour", "Americans don't understand irony", "Italians will shag anything with a pulse", "English are uptight and constipated", " French have an unwarranted superiority [...]
14 deacons? That’s a net 9.
" For what I am about to receive........" Next Sunday (June 20th), in St Peter's Basilica, Pope Ratz will ordain 14 deacons for the Diocese of Rome announced the The Vatican Information Service . The ordination Mass will begin at 9:30 [...]
Holy Homo!
There has been another mealy-mouthed apology from Pope Ratz. Another apology without acceptance of either liability or accountability. Satan wasn't mentioned but the Vatican has already indicated that he is implicated. Otherwise, how could [...]
Father M would like to see you in his office.
There is little understanding of the word "grooming" when applied to predatory paedophiles. We imagine a gradual increase in emotional pressure on innocent young people and their eventual capitulation to the vile attentions of a pervert. The [...]
Pope’s Nine Virgins.
"Do I look like a pervert?" It's good to see that the Catholic clergy is not just a preening whoopsie band of pederasts and that they also employ some heterosexual paedophiles. Two days ago, the Vatican announced that the pope had accepted the [...]
Vatican perverts ride again!
"Mark 10:13-16. THAT'S what I'm talking about!" Today the Vatican will make its most robust defence yet against claims that it is liable for U.S. bishops who not-only allowed their priests to molest children but were then complicit in hundreds [...]
ONLY 100 clerical sex abuse cases in Italy!
HEALTH WARNING! PLEASE DO NOT VIEW THE ABOVE VIDEO IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED, IF YOU ARE CHRISTIAN, ROMAN CATHOLIC OR IF PEOPLE EVER REFER TO YOU AS "YOUR HOLINESS" There have been at least 100 cases of clerical sex abuse reported in [...]
Portuguese Ratz Ass.
Pope Ratz has blamed the Catholic church's "own sins" for the worldwide outbreak of Ratz Ass and not a campaign mounted by enemies of the church. He has called for "profound purification" (WTF?) and so end what he called the "greatest [...]
Pope is screwed !!
Pope Ratz is reported to have broken his silence on the Catholic abuse scandal. Unfortunately, he has not been able to bring himself to utter the phrases "paedophile priests", "child abuse","complicit bishops", "cover-up" or "sex crimes". Instead, [...]
Vatican cock-up.
The article below is by Frances D'Emilio of Associated Press. This Easter weekend the pope had a major opportunity to launch a defence in respect of the thousands of children abused by the Catholic church but the Vatican has instead decided to [...]
Feh! Preacher screws Pope.
"Oy Vey, what a fucking shlemiel. Bet he's a batty boy too. I'm gornisht helfn. Finito!" A sermon delivered today by the pope's personal preacher included comments which were as outrageous as they were disturbing. The tone of the sermon [...]
Happy Easter, Christians!
A very Happy Easter to all you Christians. Big day on Sunday. A special mention for all our Roman Catholic friends - you must be so proud! And "Hello" to all of you who are living on the small damp group of islands in the North Sea and who are [...]
Unholy Week.
We are in Holy Week - the most important time in the Roman Catholic calendar. This is the time leading up to the moment when the dead Jesus Christ rose from the dead, thus establishing himself as the Son of God and putting into motion a series [...]
Darth Pope
"Fear. Fear attracts the fearful. The strong. The weak. The innocent. The corrupt. Fear. Fear is my ally." "God Bless you All"
Frock Bottom
"Would you like to see what I've got in my sac, meine Liebe?" In Brazil, a video of a 82 year old bishop having sex with a teenager has been shown on television and it now looks as if the well-known but no-so-well documented saga of systematic [...]
Riding an Ass was symbolic, boys!
The Economist has caught up with the scandal. Here is a lightly-edited version. The headline is mine. Sex scandals are breaking over the Catholic church with such fury that the Vatican has felt bound to defend Pope Benedict XVI [...]
Weapons of Ass Destruction
"The "M" is silent. Do you like sweets, little boy?" In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel has finally mentioned the sex abuse scandal currently rocking the homeland of Pope Benedict XVI, referring to it as a "major challenge" to German [...]
Child Abuse, Catholic-style.
In the last week-or-so, I have discovered that a very good shortcut to unpopularity is to write negatively on church-related matters. Catholics will defend their priests and allow them almost any indiscretion because they are priests. The [...]
Cum to Church
Keplero High School in Rome has installed condom vending machines. That has initiated a Catholic Church moral storm and the celibate men in frocks have said that the move will encourage young people to have sex. Even Rome's [...]
The Righteous Brothers
The Pope's brother, the Rev. Georg Ratzinger, 86, has said he was completely unaware of allegations of sexual abuse at the Regensburger Domspatzen boys choir, where he was in charge for nearly 30 years. Luckily for him, he has contacts in high [...]
Bugger me, Ratzinger
Rev Georg Ratzinger, the Pope's brother. Please do not read any further if you are easily offended. I have written about the abuse of children by sexually-frustrated Roman Catholic priests and as one of my core beliefs is that every child [...]
Vatican? What a bummer.
The Real Sign of the Cross Yesterday, the Vatican said that it backed a German diocese's efforts to shed light on sexual abuse allegations connected to a renowned boy's choir once led by Pope Benedict XVI's brother Georg Ratzinger. The [...]
Homosexual Heaven
The Catholic Church continues its obsession with penis-related matters. Das Pope has asked Catholic Bishops here in the UK to fight the Equality Bill which would (in theory) make it illegal for the Catholic Church to prevent homosexuals from [...]
