@4: It's like getting the prize in my Cracker Jack. Mine was "How Men Become Pope: NEW Board Game is fun and educational too!" Uh. As my recovering Catholic friend put it, "Catholicism is like herpes: it's the gift that keeps on giving and stays with you forever."
I have no love for the pope, or the catholic heirarchy/mythology/corporation, but this sort of thing just sucks. Does -everything- have to happen from secure TV studios?
My only thought after seeing the video was "OMG he's down. Let me take a gazillion pictures of him down!" it's like all of the visitors are angling for jobs at TMZ.
#3, Dan was born and raised Catholic, and "once a Catholic, always a Catholic."
Or so they say. I predict that someday, if the Catholic Church survives, it will look back in shame at its treatment of gays and lesbians. Any church that regards masturbation as a "grave moral disorder" is itself gravely disordered. I believe Jesus would be deeply ashamed of them. Or maybe just laugh His ass off.
MaryBeth is my favorite kind of Jesus freak. She travels all the way to Rome to see the closest thing to God, but what really chafes her hide is she didn't get the shot she wanted. Forget about the holy experience, forget about the Pope's safety and well-being, it's all about getting the perfect shot. What a dork.
Non-Catholics in this comment thread don't get that this is all a very ordinary ecclesiastical ritual in the Church. I recognize what Papa Ratfucker is doing, and it is totally clerical: from Lent: the Stations of the Cross(dresser): Third Station, The Pope Falls for the First Time.
Here's what I'm confused about - did she jump over with the intent of pushing him over; or did she jump over intending to do something else and inadvertently knocked him over? I couldn't tell from the video.
Better luck next time Mary Beth.
Let it go.....
That was a nice takedown. Thanks for posting this - I have mixed feelings, but unmistakeably delight among them.
You're never going to keep me down.
POPE ATTAAAAACK
And then he said,
"I get knocked down,
But I get up again
They're never gonna keep me down!"
And a Texan who missed the money shot? QED.
she succeeded on her second attempt
She was the one who was mentally stable, it's all the other crazies who were there who are the mentally unstable ones.
