How unfortunate to hear that a gay comrade was sacked for being gay. What did the Pope do? Nothing to protect this unfortunate person. It is time for the Vatican to start getting into the times, be more dynamic, and make a few changes - for example, hire animals, inanimate objects, and household appliances, such as toasters and dildos as priests, deacons, and bishops.

Furthermore, why not have China select their bishops? What does the Vatican have that China does not? The Chinese have copied and made cheap knockoffs of practically everything this world has ever produced. What makes the church so special that there can't be a Chinese knockoff of the Vatican - lower quality, but easily affordable to anyone?

For shame that the Roman Catholic Church still does not look to progressivism as a way of life. Now would be a good time to do it, given that it has a Pope from a socialist country like Argentina.

Bless me Squirrel for I have sinned. My last confession was never.

I was out drinking at the tavern and I kinda got drunk and started singing praises to Kapitalism. And I MIGHT have stolen a Komissar's clothes and duct-taped him to a tree.

Father Sciurius, without wishing to seem churlish, I prefer absolution from Comrade Stakhanovets. A couple of jars of anointment with this stuff and a few armadillo eggs on the side goes a long way toward absque peccatis, or at least not being able to remember them ex post facto.

Comrade Terman,

Any comrade able to locate armadillo eggs is forthwith certified to perform absolution. As I always say, "Let he without ham among you, let him first cast the first egg." Go in peace my son.
