Deliverance
Muslims, Jews, Brazilians, countries brutally colonized by European powers— cause they were “silently longing for Christianity”; Jews, who must be thrilled at the prospect of being called evil again in the revived Tridentine mass; and now Protestants, who “cannot have churches because they don’t have a sacramental priesthood”—who will Ratzinger alienate and anger next? I’ll say one thing for this pope: I actually look forward to his pronouncements.
Which reminds me of a song by Prince: “You can be the president, I’d rather be the pope. You can be the side effect, I’d rather be the dope.” I love Prince. A freak and a genius.

They have been at it ever since and they’re getting fiercer. Makes me wonder why the new man in the high chair looks very much like Darth Sidious.

What’s up with the Christian intolerance lately? Christian zealot protesters disrupted prayer by a Hindu chaplain in the US Senate yesterday.
