easily offended Papist dumbshits

hahahahahaha

Does anyone else look at pictures of the new Pope and say "you're not the Pope! You look nothing like him!"

i dunno if i like this term "papist" -- sounds too ian paisley/bob jones university to me.

I was thinking John Milton. Or would he have said "popery?"

I like "Papist" because it's so cheesy and out-of-date as a slur (bring back the Know-Nothings!). It just sounds good.

I like 'Papist' when used ironically. Otherwise, I agree with Eisbar. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I like the phrase "filthy potato-eating Papists!"

The new pope looks like he should be working in a library or resoling shoes.

The new Newsweek arrived today, and from the cover photo I realized that that picture of him on the other thread wasn't a trick of the light -- he really does have a fucked up left thumb.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) _ The priest in charge of caring for Polish
pilgrims at the Vatican collaborated with the communist secret
police in the 1980s during the reign of Polish native Pope John
Paul II, an official said Wednesday.
An investigation into communist-era persecution of the Roman
Catholic church in Poland turned up documents showing that the Rev.
Konrad Stanislaw Hejmo, a Dominican, ``was a secret collaborator of
the Polish secret services under the names of Hejnal and Dominik,''
said Leon Kieres, head of the state-run National Remembrance
Institute that investigated Nazi and communist crimes in Poland.
Hejmo's Dominican superior, the Rev. Maciej Zieba, said he saw
the files, which he termed ``convincing and shocking.''
Andrzej Paczkowski, a historian at the institute, said the files
contain about 700 pages and cover the years through the 1980s.
Hejmo could not immediately be reached for comment. But church
officials warned against passing a hasty judgment.
``We are still not sure of the type of the cooperation, whether
he was simply talking about the Holy Father with the secret
services or was actually providing secret information on him,''
Bishop Tadeusz Pieronek told The Associated Press. ``If he was
providing information, than this would be a very sad truth.''
John Paul inspired resistance to Poland's communist rule and is
credited by many with helping bring about its collapse in 1989.
Earlier this month, Kieres said he recognized the taped voice of
a clergyman who was secretly telling agents of Poland's communist
secret services about John Paul. He said the news would have been
``painful'' to the pope.
The release of communist-era information has roiled Poland
recently after the leak of an index to files in the custody of the
institute.
That list, which was posted on the Internet, caused controversy
and confusion because it lists both people who informed and people
who were spied on without distinguishing them.
Accusation of collaborations are a serious matter in Poland,
where having cooperated with the Soviet-backed communist government
is considered shameful by many.
Hejmo is very popular among Polish pilgrims, who flocked to the
Vatican after John Paul's election to the Holy See in October 1978.
John Paul died April 2.

We both have copies of Our Dumb Century, then.

Oh shit, I have that book, it's one of the ones that made it to my apartment intact. I'll have to go back and look at it.

Out of date? I'm sure many Dubya supporters used "Papist" re Kerry.
