The Pope and His Nation
As usual, this graphic may be republished with attribute. Under the circumstances, however, be advised that, if the Vicar of Christ is on solid theological ground, you will burn in Hell for doing so.

Good evening, zipperhead.
As my good friend and veteran Minstrel Boy says, if you've already seen the horrors men can commit against one another on Earth, then "...Hell is do-able."
I am, however, not so sure about Heaven.
But that's just me.
The Dark Wraith isn't very good at singing eternal praises.
[Unless the partner was VERY good.]
Wrote Moody Blue:
Gives a new meaning to "Papal Bull" doesn't it? (Not to annoy anyone, of course. *wink*)
The Pope doesn't run our government and his flock of bishops should ought to clean up their own problems instead, like with all those (ahem) "moral" (cough) pedophile priests.
And they can stop trying to influence (threaten) our laws and our heath care ... WWJD? Would He have not raised Lazarus, or healed the sick, the lame and blind -- as the Church teaches -- because of pre-existing conditions? Their hypocrisy is overwhelming, sometimes.
And if the Church is lobbying Congress (the State), then they ought to be paying taxes, too.

Well, if it comes down to either listening the D/Ws shrieks of eternal torment, on the one hand, or his singing of eternal praises, on the other . . . in either case, I'm still bringing my earplugs.
Wrote Dark Wraith:
Not to worry, zipperhead.
Should I go to Hell, I shall find my way to the Bill Clinton Wing. It's not so bad, there, actually.
At least when Hillary is out of town on State Department business, that is.
The Dark Wraith will hire his own interns, however.
Wrote zipperhead:
Just so long as you don't wind up BEing an intern. (shudder the thought)
Wrote Father Tyme:
Yeah, I imagine that Clinton in Hell intern thing was just word of mouth.
Thinkin' about Mitch Ryder's "Devil with a Blue Dress!"
"...From the early, early mornin' 'til the early, early nights
See Miss Molly rockin' at the House of Blue Lights
Good golly, Miss Molly
You sure like to ball
While you're rockin' and rollin'
Can't you hear your mama call..."

DW, nevermind the praises; Can you sing? Mebbe you could do one of the radio shows as a call-in singalong?!
Growing up Catholic, I grew to appreciate the beautiful architectural differences between churches. I'm sure I had more than utter boredom to thank for the interest.
Wrote Dark Wraith:
Good evening, trog.
You asked if I can sing, so I shall share my December 2007 Christmas tribute to then-President George W. Bush:
The Dark Wraith will be doing a tribute to President Obama during this coming Christmas season (with considerably better video equipment than the Webcam used in the video above).
Wrote zipperhead:
mebbe I won't be needing those earplugs afterall. Not bad DW. Not bad at all.

I just left a message board in disgust...after being told by the host that it was NOT an attempt at "establishing religion" at all. That Kennedy could be a good Catholic and be "dealt with" by his constituents and that was all there was to it. Huh? That the whole thing had nothing to do with the establishment clause....it made my brain spin like Linda Blair's head.
It is getting SO stupid out there that I want back the old 1950's bomb shelter, ok?

Dear DW,
I did not return to the previous post in a timely manner, and wished to comment further on your summary of Uncle Miltie:
"A food producer whose products kill people will go out of business if people who are free to choose then choose from their experience not to do business with the killer anymore." And this is why the vampire trope is so helpful today.
If people have eaten of the fruit that will kill them, and yet return, they are now amongst the legions of the undead, and nothing will rouse them. Thank you for your helpful explanation of capitalism, idealistic-style. It works with every human transaction.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, well ... it stumped Mr. Bush, too. I am striving to do better. Yet Yoda is screaming in the back of my brain, "There is no try..."

Wow. Talk about yer monkey on your back!

Wow, if just republishing could have such a dire consequence, I wonder what would lay in store for the artist? I'll be sure to bring my ear plugs.
