Would some good Catholic come round and save the world from me?

[desperance]

The Pope says that saving humanity from me homosexuality is as important as saving the rainforests.

Is it very wrong of me to be sitting here envisioning muscular young priests hurling themselves between gay couples on the dance floor, to save us from each other...?

The Pope has sorted out that humanity has to be saved from you, but not that humanity has to be saved from me? That's so wrong.

[frandowdsofa.livejournal.com]

Keep your hands off my muscular young priests, they're mine, I tell you, MINE !!!

(except for the one in Wakefield who does Mass with his carpet slippers on, he's just creepy)

[lee-in-limbo.livejournal.com]

I'd say that making fun of the edict is about the only way to treat it with the respect it deserves. I really wish the Pope would just sit down and shut up. There is nothing godly about feeding the flames of homophobia. *sigh*

Lee.

It's a little known fact that homosexuals give off significant amounts of carbon dioxide - combined with the destruction of the rain forest (PROBABLY caused by all those homosexual trees) all the hetereosexuals are going to suffocate and die!

And Ratzinger is still scary.

(Also...I always thought gay people really did respect the difference between men and women. Cos there is NOTHING worse than picking up someone in a dimly lit club, getting them home and then....'I'm so sorry, I thought you were just really metrosexual not a girl. Look, do you want some pie?' It's just awkward, although pie does help.)

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Pie always helps.

*makes pie, in case of confusion*

[tammy-moore.livejournal.com]

Everyone should have emergency pie for embarrassing and/or awkward situations. (although in a shortage I will accept an apology jam tart)

I also thought there was someone wearing a festive pink and white fur Mickey Mouse hat in the picture at first which was...unusual.

[birdsedge.livejournal.com]

Would pie (in the face) help Ratzinger?

[farwing.livejournal.com]

PROBABLY caused by all those homosexual trees

first reaction: *gigglesnort*

second reaction: Um. I dunno...I thought a lot of trees were bi-sexual hermaphrodites. Which the pope doesn't like either.

Pie!!!

[tammy-moore.livejournal.com]

See! The trees need saving from themselves as well. I can see it now, a cadre of Jesuit-Botanists dedicated to making sure trees only have hetereosexual tree sex. Few in number, but dedicated and prone to screaming at pot plants that they will be going to hell if they keep that up.

First Harry Potter, now gay people? Are there any good things in life he actually likes?

[martyn44.livejournal.com]

Banco Ambrosiano, the archdioscese of Chicago, Opus Dei - the list of fragrant things liked by Benedict is positively endless.

[martyn44.livejournal.com]

As someone failing to persuade his jesuit convert brother that my daughter isn't a Satanist just because she's wondering who needs saving from whom.

And it is only wrong if either of the three involved are Australian.

[martyn44.livejournal.com]

Said daughter is a Goth.

And as we all know, Goths sack Rome. Or was that the Visigoths?

...and for centuries thereafter, it was impossible to get plum lipstick or fishnet gloves anywhere in the Western world.

[cristalia.livejournal.com]

Thus prompting The Dark Ages.

[anef.livejournal.com]

No. Please envision away. In fact, I think I may envision with you. What are the muscular young priests wearing?

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

Oiled black leather cassocks.

[mizkit.livejournal.com]

*LOL*

Ted suggests black leather pants and white collars. :)

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

Schism, schism!

[moral-vacuum.livejournal.com]

I love it when you talk dirty.

[rysmiel.livejournal.com]

We have a rather talented local burlesque artist who does a hot priest routine; his stage name is Syko Valentine. In other words, should you happen to be in Montreal any time soon, you could do interesting research into this question.

[anef.livejournal.com]

I was kind of hoping for lycra...

[pigeonhed.livejournal.com]

never mind the cassocks!

[moral-vacuum.livejournal.com]

Cassocks are surplice to requirements.

[badbookworm.livejournal.com]

Homosexual sex creates friction, raising the ambient temperature and contributing to global warming. DON'T TELL ME YOU DIDN'T KNOW.

1) "Get thee behind me, Satan! Er..."

2) If he is so worried about blurring of gender lines, perhaps he ought to stop wearing a dress.

[dedbutdrmng.livejournal.com]

At least he's not suggesting work camps and zyklon B, so he has moderated a little since his youth.

He's clearly Vogueing in the picture that goes with that article as well. I think he may be repressing something

[ogre-san.livejournal.com]

Who knew you were so diabolical?

Gad.

[racingboo.livejournal.com]

Well, with priests like this one perhaps they'd be throwing themselves into the fray with more enthusiasm than Ratzinger envisions. Or with a different kind of enthusiasm than he has in mind.

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Oh, lor' - of course he was hanging curtains in the nude and fell backwards onto the potato, how else...?

Reminds me of a man's defence against a charge of bestiality, twenty-odd years back in Cumbria: "I was walking home from the pub, your honour, and I needed a piss, so I went into a field and stood on a bucket and the cow just backed into me..."

He was found guilty and had to leave his village.

[racingboo.livejournal.com]

Tsk. These perverted animals. Getting a poor man in trouble who was just having a little tinkle.

[volterra.livejournal.com]

Wow, and here I was thinking he didn't give a rats arse about the rainforests...

And I think its entirely right of you to be thinking that!

[fjm.livejournal.com]

Best comment yet.

[yourbob.livejournal.com]

Priest sandwich?

Why does that make me think of Johnny Depp?

And yeah, a guy in a dress with THAT much jewelry? Gaudy without being camp.

"The Pope says that saving humanity him from me homosexuality is as important as saving the rainforest."

There, I fixed that for you.

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Thank you. *is truly grateful*

[mantichore.livejournal.com]

I suddenly have visions of Neil Patrick Harris singing Pick & choose in that recent short musical about the Californian Proposition 8 (the one with Jack Black as Jesus and... was that Allison Janey singing, too, beside John C. Reilly?)

[(Anonymous)]

Humanity needs to be saved from Ratzinger. Urgently.

[birdsedge.livejournal.com]

I heard that this morning on the news and wondered if it was April 1st not December 23rd, but no... Lo... the season of goodwill approacheth; let's stir up some homophobia to make it complete.

Oh, please! Get real, Ratzi.

[pjthompson]

Oy gevalt, Popey.
