Ten Reasons Why the Pope Sucks Pretty Much as Badly as George W. Frickin' Bush

Because of a voting deadlock during the last meeting of BEPWAC, the Pope & W Share the first annual roryshock Spreading-Suffering-While-Unleashing-Sanctimonious-Fantastical-Blather-of-Justification-from-Oral-Sphincter-Award.



But this post is really about the Pope. Before rory gets to the list of reasons why the Pope sux, here's a little warmup for the the raucous synapse crowd in your brain bistros me friends. A little opening entertainment just to get you into the proper Pope respectin' mood:










rory thinkz the pope sucks because:

1. His official policies stubbornly deny women equal rights and treat them as inferior, second-class citizens, despite there being no rational reason in the 21st century for women being denied any rights, jobs, or status attainable by men.

2. He convinces gullible people worldwide to add to the disastrous problem of world overpopulation, teaching them that the only reason they may engage in sex is to “procreate.”

3. He heads an organization that is against abortion for any reason.

4. He condemns sterilization as equally reprehensible as abortion, again despite the world population disaster.

5. He is against distribution of condoms as a palliative in the African Aids Crisis.

6. He is against birth control of any kind whatsoever and condemns “any action which either before, at the moment of, or after sexual intercourse, is specifically intended to prevent procreation.”

7. He does everything in his power to forbid adoption of suffering children by well-adjusted, financially capable gay parents.

8. He pushes a homophobic, anti-gay agenda that hurts many people.

9. He directed catholics to vote for George W. Bush in the 2004 elections and helped to ensure the continuation of the clusterfuck in Iraq because he felt that John Kerry was not godly on the issue of abortion.

10. His insane medieval, fantasy-based policies are listened to by billions of people and are instrumental in perpetuating unnecessary suffering on a mind-blowing scale.





rory sez: the chicken was not wasted. it was consumed by raccoons and bacteria, returning to the earth in other forms. rory officially disapproves of using dead animals for entertainment purposes. the chicken probably lived a miserable life in a cage with many other chickens. it probably had its beak cut off by a hot wire. it truly suffered like Jesus before its death. crucifixion is in some ways fitting. nevertheless, remember, rory is merely documenting the secret acts of w, as more fully explained in the previous post about the Crawford Texas killing fields. for those who think crucifying a store-bought, partial fowl carcass is disrespectful, well, what do you expect from w bush? voice in head: "rory? are you confusing fiction and reality here in this paragraph." rory replyz: fuckin' A, but only a little.

This is rather wild, Rory. I will have to stop by and visit more often. The Catholic church does have some major-league screwed up policies against humanity. It is all so nuts.

Umm...I don't quite know what to say, although I do agree with many of your points. I guess mankind puts too much emphasis on figureheads like the Pope when it comes to religion. We need to be listening to a higher authority.

you're kind of preaching to the choir on this one, rory. I mean "Christ's Vicar on Earth"??? C'mon he's a historical (not to mention hysterical) artifact, useful to anthropologists trying to reconstruct medieavel superstitions of mankind. That he retains such power over such large numbers of humans is truly alarming. D.K.

another great post...your ability to weave realism, sarcasm, and analytical commentary leave me gasping for air- I don't whether to laugh...or cry...

Kind of like seeing Monty Python for the very first time..."Bring Out Your Dead"...kind of writing...

( and that is indeed a very high compliment...)

Karena ... thanks for stopping by ... yeah, despite being "at peace" with the world on the surface, the Catholic church's policies in practical effect are bad for the world, for nature, and for many humans ... the policies cause tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths ... while these actions are not as dramatic as the carnage in Iraq, they are just as real ... that's where I'm at ... saying it's gods will ... because the voice in the head or in somebody else's head said blastulas are sacred, birth control upsets the imaginary god, abortion is worse than a life of starvation and early death from cholera, say, women are unfit to be "officers" in the organization ... the church, that is, because that's how god set it out ... what a bunch of horseshit ... take the magical mysterious god shit out and it's every bit as wrong and vile as any of w's policies and actions ... I say not only does w need to go, but these harmful and repressive policies need to go ... the frickin' pope and everything he stands for needs to be "impeached" just as much as old Jerry falwell and old fred phelps need to be condemned and marginalized if there is to be any sanity, rationality, and decency in the world. I cannot believe that any woman can stand for any of this assholes or his church's crap any more than the crap out in South Dakota (and I apologize in advance for being presumptuous as a man in saying what I can't believe any woman would stand for ... but the women I know won't stand for it and I stand with them, shoulder to shoulder on this one ... this shit is worth fighting ... the shit that has been implemented South Dickota is no different than where the pope stands and the pope frickin' DOES influence "secular" policy and deliberately so ... as an example, just check out the Spanish Gay marriage issue ...

anyhoo ... hey kathy, uh, thanks for stoppin' by ... I agree, whatever that higher authority is ... for me it's truth as best as it can be ascertained given what is real as best as we can determine that ... and magical "miracles" and the flat earth don't hold up for me ... and a doctrine that hurts people in the name of "god" is horseshit ... and an organization that deliberately sticks its head up its ass when it comes to science and observation needs to be taken out of power ..,, which leads me to dk's comment ... yeah he's funny and ridiculous ... as is bush ... but the second part of your comment gets to the nutmeat of the matter ... he retains incredible power ... his horseshit, vile, evil policies are mean, rotten, cruel, and destructive to innocent people who are alive ... the part of him that wears red shoes and plays dress up is the ridiculous part, but the part that influences the world is totally real ... there needs to be a frickin' revolution that takes his power away ... maybe I'm preaching to the choir, but no more than any other subject and this subject gets left alone because it's "religion" or because he is ridiculous to the rational but he's just as at war with the world as W and has just as big a body count mounting up albeit more indirectly and behind several layers of pious bullshit ... w has the war on the poor, the war on iraq, the war on decent jobs ... etc. well the pope has the war on nature, on the world (population issue), on gay people, on equal rights for women, on single people, on children (and on this one look back at his vile record on child molesting priests among other things) ... I hear all sorts of americans running their mouths about muslim fundamentalists and the christian right, but the pope and his horseshit is not lumped together with them in terms of his crazy and wrong bullshit ... it should be ... it's right where he belongs ...

isn't funny that the pope and w are asshole buddies over the issues of abortion, gay marriage, etc ... these are the issues that are deciding who is in power in too many instances ... look at fuzzy and blue's post on mccain and his sucking up to the christian right lately ... the reproductive and sexual rights issues are not separable from the war in Iraq, that piece on the pope's role in electing w and continuing the iraq cluster fuck is right on ... the catholic church put its weight behind bush because of these issues ... thus, ratso bears responsibility for killing live folks in Iraq in the name of saving blastulas ... BOTH of the assholes and most of what they stand for needs to be impeached.

that being said, I really appreciate the visits and the comments ...

enigma ... rory wants to frame that comment! thanks mucho ... so glad you dug the post ...

Wow..your comments are almost better than the actual post rory. Well done.

I believe this particular pope had a hand in moving different child-molesting priests, not out of the Church but rather to different positions and geographical areas, where they simply molested again.

So let me get this straight. If you're gay, you can't take communion, but if you're ass fucking your alterboy after Mass, you simply have to move 300 miles down to the road to where they've never heard of you.

Makes sense.

rory, don't misunderstand. by "preaching to the choir" I merely meant I'm adding my weak, off-key pathetic voice to yours. (cuz YOU can obviously carry a tune & belt it out). We need all voices to lift in harmony in condemnation of these vile bastards. That you do it with dark humor is an added bonus. D.K.

i was raised catholic and yes, even went to catholic school for a while (and look at me now).

i have so much anger it's not even funny. i remember as a VERY YOUNG CHILD, 1st or 2nd grade, being told a story about savages (in africa) cutting out the still beating heart of a catholic missionary. wtf kind of story is that for a six or seven year old? no wonder i'm addicted to horror movies and keep sharp knives about the house.

when i started to realize i had no rights in the church AND no rights over my OWN BODY, my beliefs rapidly changed.

when i read what a saint mother theresa was i cringe. sure, she did some GOOD things, but she also preached (as you mention the pope does) hiv and aids infected men (or women) who are MARRIED SHOULD NOT USE CONDOMS

oh damn it's 2:30 am, i'm only 1/2 way through my FIRST cup o' steamin' joe and i'm rambling (forgive me)

YEAH, RORY - YOU GO ON WITH YOUR BAD SELF!!!!!

It's time people wake up. Sometimes it helps to look at history:

The Inquisition: The sadistic church horribly tortures and murders hundreds of thousands of innocent people - all suspected of witchcraft. If you were an attractive woman, you were usually raped in the process. Once the victims were dead, the church had the right to take ownership of all their property.

Christianity comes to the new world to spread the word: and in the process, the Aztecs and North American Indians (among others) are nearly wiped out - with plenty of the usual torture and rape thrown in the mix.

Black Slavery: Not a big problem for the church. In America, slavery was fully embraced down in God's country.

The history of the church is a horror story so shocking and disturbing that it's hard to believe they're still in business.

Regarding the post, I did not know about the pope's red shoes. Interesting. I wonder where he goes when he clicks them together.

I did not know about the human-animal hybrids either, but even that doesn't surprise me.

Keep it up!

Another incredible post, Rory. Sorry I am behind in reading up in here, I've been slathered with work (a good thing, but of course it's still WORK).

I've maintained since Day 1 that he is still very much just an older version of his hitler youth self. Some things never change.

Ah, 1979: A fond pope memory. My very catholic parents took all my younger silbings to Chicago to see Pope John Paul. And one sister and I who got to stay home had a HUGE party. Everybody who was anybody was there. Another sister, however, was surprised and horrified that some guy was in her bedroom doing blow! I think I got grounded at least 2 weeks for that party (although I never did get into the "blow", being more of a beer-swiller, really).

I have such fond memories of the great Pope Party of 1979...

fuckin' A graeme ... gugon thanks for the walk through historical highlights ... poetryman ... one scary tranny he is ... Lily I haven't seen that show (not having had tv for some years my tv viewing is pretty accidental these days ... if I'm somewhere where its on I'll watch) ... that being said ... he does look like a guy gettin' ready to sell used cars or something ... in that traditional red pope hat ... Helen hey ... glad to hear that business is boomin' ... you deserve to be makin' good jack ... ah, so the pope can count providing a good teen party as one of his good deeds ... nice story

I've had it up to here (motioning to my ears) with religious goofballs. I sort of got into it with Jilly-Jill Stanek, SoccerMom scourge and all in all turd regarding abortion. Sigh.

But! I'll have you know, dear Rory, that I thought of you when using the word "blastula".

I think Bill Hicks said it best about Catholics where "Vampire priests sink their twin fangs of guilt into you as a child, sucking out your will to live" (near quote).

And by the way, one of these days, I'm going to steal the crucified chicken image (I prefer the baby-headed one) and make a tshirt (H!NT!)

As a Catholic, I am horrified that I am told I have to forgive rapist priests but that b/c I voted for John Kerry, b/c I cherish and love my gay friends and do not encourage discrimnation against them, and b/c I am pro-choice and pro-contraceptives that Jesus hates me and I should be denied communion.
I have 1 thing to say to that: FUCK YOU Catholic Church... and oh yeah... Jesus says FUCK YOU too no matter what lying shit Pope Ratfink says.
