Apparently Pope Benedict has come out of seclusion to tell us all some things we already knew.

Again.

Hey, remember when we thought it was all going to turn out OK in the end?

 

Heh. Good times.

The crowd went wild!

Kind of the Disney version of reality, wasn’t it? Always a happy ending and all plot threads neatly tied up.

But real life… well, that awful crap just keeps coming and coming, doesn’t it?

Lately, I’ve been reading nihilist horror fiction, Lovecraft. He was a materialist atheist, and specifically anti-Christian, and all his “cosmic horror” was about how all the meaning we like to think is out there is really just imposed by us and our cowardly and insignificant little brains out of our existential terror that there is only the void.

It’s pretty refreshing, actually.

So, listened to Steve’s latest podcast last night.

Those who should speak remain silent.

Here’s a sample: “WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE ALL SUCH EFFING COWARDS?!!!”

 

Why, in short, do we have to do all this picky gleaning out of the good Catholic bits of what you useless meatsacks are giving us? Why do we have to fight this fight on our own?

Fecking conservatism.

Be hot or cold, dudes. Be hot or cold.
