Now, I enjoy a good laugh as much as the next guy but it seems to me this is
WAY over the top.  Mahony is from my neighborhood.  We go way back.  And
I do not appreciate seeing headlines that even PRETEND that he's the next
customer in line like this:  



Report: Mahony’s Pretty Much

Got This Pope Thing In The Bag





.............“The only question that remains is what name he shall take.”................



VATICAN CITY–The Italian Newspaper La Rupubblica is reporting today that a member of the Vatican Curia confirmed to them that, barring a shocking upset, the former head of the Los Angeles Diocese Cardinal Roger Mahony has all but locked up his spot as the Catholic Church’s 266th Bishop of Rome.

“An anonymous member of the Curia has revealed to us that the gαy lobby working within the Vatican is now lobbying for Cardinal Mahony to succeed Benedict. They believe he is best suited for the job,” a reporter for La Repubblica, Luigi Rossi, told reporters. “When we asked the Curia member how they were progressing, he told us that ‘Mahony’s pretty much got this Pope thing in the bag,’ and that the only question that remained was what name he would be taking.

Members of the Curia unanimously believe that Mahony can fix the mess in the Church just as he did the mess in Los Angeles. Basically, if he runs things just the same as he ran things in the L.A. diocese, as well as the way he ran his annual Los Angeles Religious Congress, the Church should be just fine…like the Episcopalians. At press time Mahony has sent a message to his twitter followers reading, “Yup, got this Pope thing on lock #JP3WeLoveThee?"

I have only one positive thing to say about this.  They spelled Mahony correctly.

Other than that, frankly, it turns my stomach.  You should have been in LA with
this guy running around loose.  I wouldn't wish that on an enemy, much less the
whole world..........


It seems to me that this kind of NONSENSE is what gives the Resistance a bad
name.  Someone is trying to be funny and all it does is look like the Resistance
is full of a bunch of loony bin rejects.  

This is not funny, and I am not afraid to say so.  

Whoever is running this thing ought to be taken out to the woodshed and taught
a lesson.  

Not only is the whole thing lacking in humor, it is chock full of objective errors.

It looks like a news page, so anyone just happening in on it might think that
this is some kind of report -- it says "Report" at the top of the page, so it's not
a report?  But it says it is.  So, at best it is a lie, and it's probably worse, a
calumny, and therefore it should qualify as slander, libel and malicious
detraction.  

What good could ever come of that?  This clown is out of control.  She is groping
at straws to put up something she thinks is funny and it isn't.  It's just bad.  




Please don't pass it around.  

You are spreading scandal.  

If this is what the True Faith does to people,

who would want to have any part of it????????

Um, you understand this was a joke, right?  Mahony is not going to be pope anywhere in this universe.  

At the risk of repeating myself, I guess I have to repeat myself.  

I like to hear and tell jokes as much as you do, but I prefer them to be funny,
not stupid!  This website has post after post that pretends to be what it is not.

This one says "REPORT.... VATICAN CITY"   ------- it's not a report

The Italian newspaper La Repubblica is reporting today -------- News flash:
there is such a newspaper, La Repubblica.it - Homepage, and it makes no such
report.  Therefore this is libel, and the newspaper SHOULD SUE FOR IT.

There are no members of the Vatican Curia confirming to anyone about anything,
because they're all bound to turn in their resignation when the Pope leaves office.
More lies. More lawsuits.

Cardinal Roger Mahony was not the "head of the Los Angeles Diocese."  Fabrication
and inaccuracy.  Roger Cardinal Mahony was the Archbishop of the Archdiocese.

No "anonymous member of the Curia" would be revealing anything to anyone in
this situation, and it gives the uninformed the wrong idea to say as much.

Luigi Rossi is apparently a real person associated with La Repubblica in Italy, so
if I were him, I would be contacting my lawyer right about now.
......&c., &c., &c............



If you don't think this whole thing stinks, I don't know what I can tell you that
will make any difference.  I guess the Resistance is just a big joke; right here
is proof.

AGAIN,
Why is this in response to the joke that I posted? Weird!

Okay, here is a comic from another site that runs this Mahony "Report from the
Vatican" and has comments on it - including,  "Why would you say this about a
Cardinal in your church? Sure, he’s a scandal... but he is a tolerated scoundrel
who still is a Cardinal."

Sigh....

(Doggedly) I will make sure from henceforth NOT to post anything UNLESS I scour the source where it came from. EVEN JOKES.
I don't want to be undermining The Resistance by posting a joke from a site that I did not investigate thoroughly.

I understand what you are saying, Neil......OK, they stink. My bad. I am on my way to the guillotine  :thinking:

Dear Neil,

Doctor Angelicus dixit:

"Si autem accipiatur contentio secundum quod importat impugnationem falsitatis cuм inordinato modo, sic potest esse peccatum veniale .....
Nisi forte tanta inordinatio fiat in contendendo quod ex hoc generatur scandalum aliorum."

Maybe it's just me.  I'm not accusing you of any "sin!"  It's just that I cannot
bring myself to enjoy any 'jokes' at the expense of any tabernacle, because it
is indirectly a joke against the Blessed Sacrament.  Are you aware that the
Jack-in-the-Box was originally a tongue-in-cheek joke about the 'ridiculous'
belief of Catholics in the Real Presence?  As Bishop Williamson expounds in
his Feb. 26th conference in Post Falls, the Gospel of John, the end of Chapter
6, tells of how all of Our Lord's followers abandoned Him when he spoke of
faith in the Blessed Sacrament.  That is where Protestantism is rooted, BTW.

But I dare say, if Bishop Williamson were to comment on this 'joke' link you
have posted, I can't imagine he would give any hint of enjoying a laugh.  
So I don't think I am being eccentric or unreasonable.  The faith of Catholics
is too much misunderstood and derided by those outside the Church, that they
don't need to see our complicity with their vile 'humor' to make them feel
better about what they do in persecuting us.

For me, under the avalanche of heresy and abuses Mahony left behind him,
there is nothing funny about a tabernacle.  I have personally seen far too
many smashed tabernacles.  I have personally seen far too many exiled
tabernacles.  I have personally seen too many disrespected tabernacles.  I
have personally seen too many contemptuous onlookers making JOKES
about tabernacles.  

IT IS OVER.  I will not engage, God help me, in any jokes about tabernacles.

I don't care what they are, they are NOT FUNNY.  

So, maybe it's just me.  But I am not on board that train.  Sorry.
