Last week, the pope condemned divorce, masturbation, birth control, in vitro fertilization, living together before marriage, and same-sex marriage. According to Bennie, all of the above add up to "anarchic freedom." The headlines the next day? "Pope Condemns Gay Marriage As 'Anarchy.'" The headlines should have read something like this: "Pope Condemns Majority Of American Heterosexuals For Private Sexual Conduct; Also, Gay Marriage."

The catholic church jumps ahead to the dark ages.

*chuckles* SOme things never change.

So we're back to the old condemnation of in-vitro fertilization, huh? I thought they'd worked that out 20 years ago (I remember learning it in my Senior religion class).

I'd like to copy this, please. I don't know what I'd do with it.

Copy it all you want. I didn't write it. :-)

"Immediately following his statements of condemnation, His Holiness retired to his private chambers where, in a fit of sexual frustration, he beat off four consecutive times, followed by sodomizing a dish of tiramisu while looking at a framed photo of Margaret Thatcher. Then he confessed to himself, said three Our Fathers and forgave himself."
