…but it helps. Listen as the Catholic cardinal of Baltimore talks about Barack Obama’s “clenched jaw,” and Obama’s “aggressive, disruptive, and apocalyptic” agenda, and the “hot, bitter tears” of the Catholic faithful.
Man, I wish my mother—a practicing Catholic, Joel—were still alive. She’d listen to this, shake her head, lift an eyebrow and then say, “Some idiots are Catholics, but not all Catholics are idiots—despite the impression the hierarchy works so hard to create.”

All the best Catholics are Vatican II catholics.
Pope John XXIII.
He was our Jack Kennedy!
Gah. These child-raping Papists are sliding further and further into irrelevancy.
Baltimore, represent! w00t!
Can I get an order of hot bitter tears with my iced latte
I really wish these biblical soothsayers would reconcile their Bibles’ apocalyptic prophecies, and their own warnings of the upcoming Apocalypse. Is it going to happen, or not? Do you want it to happen or not?
Oh fuck, Obama’s going to usher in the rapture, I better stop fucking altar boys and beg forgiveness from God.
If the higher-ups in the hierarchy are idiots, why would someone who isn’t an idiot agree to enter that hierarchy at the bottom, as a supplicant? Why do people maintain membership in an institution they have so little faith in?
That dude has magic powers – he reached through the internet and instilled in me a desire – nay, a LUST – to give him a wedgie… or perhaps a swirlie… OR A SWEDGIE!!!
Seriously, what a fucking dong.
@6, because half the country’s equates agnostics/atheists with the German nihilists in The Big Lebowski.
@8: Aha. So in other words: Say what you will about the Mormons and Catholics, at least it’s an ethos.
@6 Same reason people called themselves Democrats through the useless years of the Bush administration.
so if obama’s “clenched jaw” = aggressive, disruptive, and apocalyptic
Then endless war, global warming, economic collapse inducing policy = passive, constructive and utopian?
wow…now i remember why I am agnostic.
Yet another Catholic bigot, trying to couch his narrowminded hatred in ‘civil’ tones.
I’m reminded of going to St. James Cathedral with a friend for the Christmas Carol service. At about midnight, the bishop & his entourage, all in their finest queenly outfits & festive party hats, strolled to the center with the swinging incense ball smoking up the entire huge church.
I kid you not…it was really freaky. These Catholic superstitions — what’s with that?
Anyway, my friend & I were just barely able to escape when they started chanting their Latin voodoo.
And people are shocked? This is the same church whose Cardinals voted for a fucking NAZI to be the head of the damn church A FUCKING NAZI!!!
Besides, this tirade from a guy who molested me when I was 7 years old? PLEASE!!!
When did Catholics turn into Baptists?
Catholics and Baptists are equally detached from reality. They have the freedom to believe whatever nonsense they wish to believe, but we don’t. We must believe whatever they tell us to believe no matter how delusional that is. Well I have two words for men like this: Fuck you!
Apparently he doesn’t understand that not only choir boys can get raped.

so why doesn’t your mother’s logic and widom hold for mormons?
“…She’d listen to this, shake her head, lift an eyebrow and then say, “Some idiots are Mormons, but not all Mormons are idiots…”
Stop H8! – End Religious Bigotry!
