I think we’ve all had pretty much enough of the quislings and Vichys and their desperation, don’t you? New What’s Up With Francis-Church policy: Rejected posts and comments correcting the stupid crap of the papologists – the Akins, the Armstrongs (sorry Dave, I know we’re pals now), the Sheas, the Coffins, the Zeds – may come here and get an airing. Consider me a haven. A safe space, as the kids call it now.

Also, my pro-lifer spidey senses must be getting rusty. Didn’t the pope just imply that contraception could be used for eugenic reasons? Zika doesn’t kill the woman. The thing everyone is worried about is defective babies, microcephalics, life unworthy of life, right? He also draws a comparison between violent rape and having a disabled child. The Jesuit who first proposed the idea – and offered no evidence whatever that Paul VI had in fact given this permission to the Congo nuns – explicitly said that contraception could be seen as a means of self-defence against aggression.

Today, as I’m sure we’ve all heard by now, Pope Francis was asked on the plane ride from Mexico whether women infected with Zika virus could use contraception to avoid transmitting the virus to their children (or, perhaps more accurately, to avoid having a child to whom the virus could be transmitted). The pope, it is being reported, referred to the time Pope Paul VI allegedly allowed nuns at risk of rape in the Belgian Congo to use contraceptives.

  I think the priest-fanboys are the creepiest.   ~

Not the only ones who’ve noticed… _Pope Francis is on another of his political jaunts across the world, having just met with the murderous leader of Iran with photos showing the two men in friendly, cordial laughter. One wonders what they talked about in private and who is on whose side.Given Iran’s threat to the free world, its treatment of Christians and members of other religions and general human rights abuses, one also wonders what the purpose of it all was.

Why so glum, chum? This isn’t the first time the structures of the Church have been taken over by an heretical sect: “Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears “ [Jeremiah 9:1] and I will weep many days for the people who are being driven to destruction by these vile doctrines. The ears of the simple are being led astray, and have now got used to heretical impiety.

Aaaawww… Dave. That’s so sweet… The poor guy has a crush on me, obviously. I think this is the second or third time he’s sent me a personal love-letter and posted it to the innernet. And he keeps making up these cute pet names, just for me. It’s so hard to let them down, especially on Valentine’s Day. It happens a lot, actually. I guess there’s a lot of lonely people out there in innernet land.

Heeeeere’s Mercy! It’s the launch day of the Missionaries of Mercy! Francis’ bright idea! A thousand priests will be dispatched from Rome to be sent out to “pardon even those sins reserved to the Holy See.” Golly! That sounds serious, don’t it? Wow! Even those reserved to the Holy See! If you just took the word of the official propaganda of the regime (sorry Robert and Carol, but you know who you work for, right?

Maybe I’m a Bad Person, but I can’t help but listen to this woman and think, if I were there I would be asking her, “When was the last time you went to Mass? Oh? Really? That long, huh? Ah, I see, you don’t believe in God.” Not that I’m not sympathetic, and not that I’m not happy that she’s wised up… It’s just … well… once the bastards are busting your son in the face with an iron bar, once they’re rioting in your town centre in the thousands, once they’re destroying your town, time has passed for complaining about the government.
