In keeping with our Mardi Gras tradition, here's a little "green beans" music for to make you shake your ass:
In another hilarious thread at "Snark Central", a takedown of professional scold Ross Douthat goes on. Some bastard in the thread wrote a description of Ross' brand of Catholicism as "All Ash Wednesday, no Mardi Gras." When Cardinal Ratzinger of Germany (another "Ash Wednesday all the time" guy) was named Pope, I complained because I thought that it was time to nominate a Brazilian cardinal (Brazil being the most populous "Catholic" country in the world). Unfortunately, the College of Cardinals decided that they didn't want the Pope standing on the Vatican balcony in a Speedo, giving blessings, so they passed over the cardinal of São Paulo in favor of the guy who ran the remnants of the Inquisition.
Unfortunately, Catholic scolds like Ross and Ratzi are too busy snooping in people's bedrooms to look up and see that sun that Hillaire Belloc described:
Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,
There’s always laughter and good red wine.
At least I’ve always found it so.
Benedicamus Domino!
Yeah, Hillaire, I get ya... forget the prudes and scolds, the Church needs more of this:
The Catholic Church in South America has in the last few decades stood up for the poor and impoverished, i.e. walked the talk.
ReplyDeleteRome has spent that time shifting around pedobears, and rolling in their wealth.

Yeah, the higher-ups really don't like that whole "Liberation Theology" thing which was all the rage in Latin America in the 80's.

If you're going to trust one source on healthy sexual behavior, make it the Catholic Church.
