When Dopes Pope


60 Miles Too Far For World Traveler Pope

The 6.3 magnitude earthquake that struck L'Aquila, Italy, left 294 dead, 1000 injured, 10 missing and 28,000 homeless.

Dope Pope Benedict chose not to visit the stricken area before or during the Easter weekend. Perhaps fearful of the aftershocks, he retreated his residence south of Rome. He held services on Good Friday as well as the traditional Easter Mass in the Basilica at the Vatican. While he said prayers for the survivors of the earthquake, plans to visit the area were not mentioned.

Traveling, however was mentioned: his recent trip to Africa and an up-coming jaunt to the Holy Land. Perhaps with all those frequent flier miles, another 60 miles of travel would cut into his viewing time of reruns of The Flying Nun and The Father Dowling Mysteries.

The Pope is seen in the photo at the left paying tribute to Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour, wearing his prized replica outfit.

The Dope Pope was well trained in 'going the other way' from the time he served as a Nazi soldier during WWII He was a deserter and later spent time as a POW.

It is not clear whether the he gave a second thought to the notion that the survivors of the L'Aquila disaster might have needed and would have wanted his presence there. Sure he prayed for them, but the spiritual needs and hopes of the people of that area would have been uplifted knowing he was there for them.

It's not the first time, and it probably won't be the last that the Pontiac Pontiff has shown poor judgment. He recently stuck his feet in his mouth and while chewing on them sounded like a sanctimonious pompous Pope when he said that "condoms do not prevent HIV." I suppose he thinks that the only way to prevent HIV is to practice abstinence.

(Pictured: The Pope using his new "spit guard" to protect those closest to his podium.)

If the Dope Pope really cared about ending poverty, he'd forgo traipsing around the world, pontificating to the poor people that they cannot use condoms or any kind of birth control. A contributing cause of poverty is having more children than the people can afford. If the Pope cared about poverty, the Catholic Church would quit forcing parishioners to give 10% of their pretax income to the church.

To his credit, he did acquiesce and grant Special Dispensation to allow Mass to be held on Good Friday at a state funeral for 205 of the earthquake victims. This action was taken only after Italy declared a National Day of mourning.

This is what happens when dopes Pope!

I ain't Catholic, so the Pewope (I think that's how Clouseau pronounced it) and his actions/inactions are of 'eh' to me ;) Interesting that an ex-Nazi could become Pewope. Just sayin'...

ARRRRGH!!!

When will they, the extremely religious, ever learn?

Thanks for getting my blood moving this morning.

Another man in charge who is only concerned about promoting the brotherhood.

Have more male children so that men can continue to rule and screw things up. (Bad pun, I admit.)

ARRRRRGH!!!

Anonymous,

Interesting verbiage there. I'm not quite sure, however, whether you are in support of the Pope or against him or somewhere in the middle.

I'll check out he site.

Skunk,

I'm not Catholic either, but I do find it curious that very little is made of his Nazi roots.

Jack,

Although I don't necessarily agree with it, I can understand the Church's stand on abortion ...

But I cannot for the life of me fathom the thought processes of the Church and his Popeness when it comes to birth control. I've had devout Catholics explain it to me, but it comes out as a bunch of gibberish and hogwash completely devoid of logic.
