Get breeding
Grandad September 9th, 2007
Apparently the Pope has blasted us for not having more children.
Why? What business is it of his?
He has also, in a surprise statement, slammed abortion.
In the same speech he reaffirms religious celibacy.
He seems to be a little confused.
From what I have seen in the past, the Church has been very vociferous in its anti-abortion stance, yet has been remarkably absent in providing any kind of support for unwanted children. Maybe if they removed their celibacy rule, they might find that bringing up a child in this day and age is not as easy as they might suppose.
If they want more children, why not remove their celibacy rule, and let the priests breed like rabbits [not that they do their best anyway, in a lot of cases]?
The Church has been criminal in the past with its treatment of the results of clerical abuse. They have ignored the victims, and have piled emotional trauma on top of physical and sexual abuse.
So why does the Pope want us to have more children?
Are they running out of supplies?

That’s a scary picture, don’t you think? Look a his eyes! That’s really really scary.
It’s a good one, isn’t it?! I can’t remember where I got it, but the eyes got me straight away.
Heh, caption of the month, easy.
He is one of the more impressively evil-looking public figures of the twenty-first century, though.
I’ll say nothing
Do many people really listen to what the Pope has to say, nowadays?
They listen, all right. And then they go and do their own thing.
Grandad you should email him and tell him!
benedictxvi@vatican.va
I think he’s already a regular reader of this site.
He calls himself “Twenty Major”
He would suit a Mitre!
Hey!!! SuperShadow is back!! He’s using the same source as before anyway.
In the first today, he calls himself “leftwinghater”. His message [very profound and eloquent] - “GRANDAD U ARE GAY“.
Great
In the second, he calls himself “mike” [he's coming out of the closet?]
“at least hes acheived alot in life. any fool can criticise from the comfort of a blog. what have u ever done except talk shite”
I’m not that well up on Ratzinger’s past [I know he was in the German army in the last war?] but I doubt he has achieved that much.
What have I achieved? Well, for a start, I brought up a daughter [despite being gay??] who can spell, use proper grammar and who knows that ‘u’ is a letter, not a word…
As for shite? I’ll let my readers judge where that’s coming from.
Grandad is gay according to SuperShadow.
Would that be:
1. Gay-Lussas Joseph (1685-1850). A French chemist.
2. Gay John (1685-1732). English playwright; author of ‘The Beggar’s Opera’.
3. Does it mean you are:
a) Mirthful, lighthearted.
b) Showy, bright-coloured.
c) Dissolute;(slang) homosexual.
3a would be my choice from above.
Gay Byrne?
Thank you Grannymar! You’re a sound judge of character, and you can spell!
Grandad,
I have it sussed, Silvershadow is a jedi from the Dark Side and he’s in Rome!

That explains a lot!!! These bloody Jedi are cropping up everywhere. I’ll have to add them to my culling list.
Grandad,
I have an English friend who does a lot of traveling and she has always made a point of telling me how rude the Germans are.
For instance, she tells me that at a resort swimming pool they come out very early in the morning and throw a towel over a chair. Then they go sightseeing or shopping and when they come back at 2 or 3 o’clock the Germans expect that chair to still be empty and just waiting for them to sit in it.
Well, when this German was elected Pope I asked her what she thought of that.
Her reply? “Oh, I guess he got up early and threw his towel on the throne.”
Old Ratzo sure has The Look.
Very impressive, but that’s what a Hitlerjugend training will do for you. And of course, it helps if you’ve been head of the Inquisition.
The Inquisition? I didn’t know he’d been around that long. He does have a sort of Transylvanian look to him though.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is the modern name for the Holy Office of the Inquisition. The organisation remains unchanged, right down to the same head office in the same house in Rome.
Smoke and mirrors. I still say he has a Transylvanian look about him.
Isn’t he a Sith lord? http://static.flickr.com/6/9958184_1d3029f0e7_m.jpg
No wonder that gay Jedi chap gets so touchy when you mention him…
Whoops, just spotted Ian’s link above! (blush)
