He lamented that Catholic politicians had yielded to "ephemeral social trends and the spurious demands of opinion polls."

apparently not the biggest fan of representative government, either

He's actually uglier than Anthony Hopkins. Yikes.

He probably thinks that silly hat makes him look less evil.

When I flew to Israel around the time of the start of his papacy, the flight stopped in Rome. An old Italian woman with a thick accent asked me if I was going to see the pope, and when I said no, she said "Don't a-bother. He's-a Nazi Germany!"

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Saturday, 9 September 2006 05:21 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, no better way to prove that you've moved beyond your unfortunate upbringing than by being a reactionary authoritarian on a world stage

― kingfish prætor (kingfish 2.0), Saturday, 9 September 2006 05:23 (nineteen years ago)

"Don't a-bother. He's-a Nazi Germany!"

That is so awesome. That's gonna be my dismissive insult for everybody.

i discussed that hat wiht a friend of mine, we decided it was somewhere b/w a pimp and a mariachi

this is no different than the kerry nonesense in the last election

This pope hasn't quite mastered the 'freedom of conscience' idea, yet. Tain't nothin' about any Canadian law that's forcing any Canadian Catholic to be a 'bad' Catholic.

McDonald's even puts the filet-o-fish on special on Fridays!

pope has own popelisk outside the pope birthplace

― kingfish prætor (kingfish 2.0), Monday, 11 September 2006 16:08 (nineteen years ago)

Ribbed for nobody's pleasure.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 11 September 2006 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

The popelisk = one more reason why I wish I could be Pope.

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Monday, 11 September 2006 21:10 (nineteen years ago)

And we shop on Sundays. Heathen hosers we all are.

Except in Nova Scotia, outside such hotbeds of terrorism as Dartmouth (and Southern Toronto).

― Rufus 3000 (Mr Noodles), Monday, 11 September 2006 22:09 (nineteen years ago)

I do agree that opinion polls are BS. They're kind of like the canonical version of half-assed barroom pontificating.

one month passes...

Pope also not the biggest fan of "weak and deviant forms of love"

― kingfish prætor (kingfish 2.0), Friday, 20 October 2006 13:24 (nineteen years ago)

Deviant is a word you just don't see used enough these days.

― Rufus 3000 (Mr Noodles), Friday, 20 October 2006 13:35 (nineteen years ago)

three months pass...

Not much else going on in the world, why not get in some cultural scolding?

Pope Benedict XVI, the current head and spiritual leader of the Catholic Church, voiced his opinion on games today from the Vatican, saying that violent or sexually explicit games are a "perversion" and "repulsive."

As part of the annual papal message for World Communications Day, the theme of which was "Children and the Media: A Challenge for Education," the pope talked about the media's effect on children, paying particular attention to games and films.

"Any trend to produce programs and products--including animated films and video games--which in the name of entertainment exalt violence and portray antisocial behavior or the trivialization of human sexuality is a perversion, all the more repulsive when these programs are directed at children and adolescents," the pope said...

Once again, if you produce anything for an older audience in a media that out-of-touch grown-ups in charge have consigned as being for children only, you are attacking the foundations of civilization. Especially when there are already laws in place forbid the selling of that product to minors in the first place, an audience that even the media creators aren't targeting.

Read the whole thing in Elish, if you like. Unfortunately, i can't find anything in Latin, so the question of translating "violent video games" into a dead language remains a mystery.
