Pope Benedict III – Papal Testicle Testing Chair – Pope Joan the First, a woman
What? This is history. Urban Legend – Rome – based on fact? Over a thousand years old.
There is very little known about the reign of Pope Benedict III except that clerics were generally satisfied with his testicles. Upon his coronation in 855 AD God’s chosen messenger on Earth sat in a special chair resembling an ancient commode while the Holy See checked to make sure that the papacy was indeed infallible…
Two reliable clerics touched his testicles; witnesses who presented legal evidence of his maleness…At this the priest and the people responded, “Deo gratius” [Thanks be to God]

They keep denying that there ever was a female Pope in the RC Church. The above device was used for centuries to make certain that all popes had the right stuff, but only after Pope Joan the First’s brief reign in the ninth century C.E..
I finally got to see the flick Pope Joan about the first woman pope circa 850 C.E..
They were showing it on the Reelz cable channel. I liked the historic sets and costumes especially around the old St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Script was a bit disappointing and considering the subject matter, it was a good period piece and not a so-called chick flick.
John Goodman (he stole the show) is her mentor good pope before they poison, John Paul One him, get him out of the picture for fun, power and profit.

The Bishop’s Man – by author Linden MacIntyre
Excerpt from above:
MacIntryre, who stopped in at the Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library Friday to read from his book, The Bishop's Man, said he decided not to draw attention to lurid acts committed against children, but instead focused on the betrayal of trust and institution's response, or lack of it, when such abuse occurred.
"The greater crime is an institutional crime," he said. "It's not what an individual does to another person, it is how society or an institution reacts to it. Then I began to look at the book in a totally different way. This is a book about the Bishop's man. It's about somebody."
MacIntyre, who is a Giller Prize winner and famed CBC journalist for the Fifth Estate, admits he is unsure if the bishop has a "man" that goes into a community and cleans up a situation such as this, but he is confident the dioceses has someone similar in place. He said the bishop's man could be its lawyers, a parish counsel or a priest.
"Nine times out of ten the Bishop's man came back and said, 'I think he has a drinking problem. All we got to do is fix the drinking problem and all the other stuff will go way'. So suddenly, buddy is on a plane for Ontario for 40 days of self-examination and than he is brought back good as new and he is in a parish again."
The institution couldn't face the possibility of a scandal based on the behavior of one priest, he said, so it had to pretend that there is nothing really wrong with the priest.
"It's nothing a little rehab won't fix, and at all costs the institution has to be protected. We can't have protestants and Jews, enemies of the church, going around talking about this because they will use it against us and undermining the faith of our own people," he said.
MacIntyre said this just created a bigger problem because now the person who has been victimized is left feeling like they are worthless.
"Suddenly everything is rationalized and suddenly little Johnny, who was molested is sitting there wondering where did Father go? He figures out father is down the road and little Johnny figures there must be something wrong with him because Father never got punished. Little Johnny grows up like that and shoots himself or drinks himself half to death and becomes dysfunctional one way or another."
When the discussion shifted to current events surrounding the recent conviction of Bishop Raymond Lahey on child porn charges, MacIntrye couldn't help, but speculate that the "institution" had a role in transferring him to a new area where his "weaknesses" could be better disguised.
"My sister is from Newfoundland and she knew Bishop Lahey and she described him as the kind of church leader there should be more of, but he had a demon and the awful thing is he knew about it and other people knew about it for a long time," he said. " I don't know why he came to Nova Scotia, but I can't help but think that it was part of the same pattern.
He came here because no one knew him. Bishop Lahey had weaknesses and he's facing punishment. It's not going to be very severe, but the end of his life is going to miserable. But what about the people who covered up for him over the years?"

Sinead O’Connor twice as popular as the next pope – news at 11
Sinead has come a long way from Saturday Night Live.
Whenever there is a new RC scandal, I get lot of hits on my Who will be the Next Pope? article.
But outpacing the next old codger in drag, no matter what the latest crime in Rome, Boston, the Netherlands, Philadelphia or Kansas City, is the ever popular Sinead O’Connor – First Prophet of the New Age.
The People of God Speak! – louder than the Vaticano reparto di pubbliche relazioni (PR dept.).

Boycott Bigoted Lowe’s Retail Chain – and all Neanderthal Knuckle Dragging Florida Christians*
In the ongoing knuckle dragging far right Christian* war on all non-whites and non-christians, the Muslim community in Detroit shot back on Saturday to boycott bigotry loving Lowe’s.
Hundreds protest outside Lowe's after store pulls ads from Muslim reality show:
And sad to say the above source is British – not a white Chirstian A-merican Newspaper online.
This is how the world see us and the Bush/Cheney inbred idiot’$ war on Islam – lost age of American Islamophobia- of sanctioned American medieval hate.

Bishop George Packard leads Occupy Wall Street into Trinity Church's empty lot - Duarte Square 6th Ave and Canal St. NYC
Trinity Church Wall Street, the second richest church in Christendom outside of St. Peter's in Rome, has the cooperation of the establishment to keep protesters off a tiny spec, portion of its tens of billions of dollars Manhattan Real Estate Portfolio. Duarte Square (triangle) two blocks from the entrance to the Holland Tunnel on the southern edge of Greenwich Village.
There is a battle brewing within the Episcopal Church between the progressives and the conservatives over whether to help the poor or to just sweep the rabble out with the morning trash. A true microcosm of America today. The 1% who own the planet and the 99% of the rest of us.

Christopher Hitchens – Voice of the Godless Corporations – dies on last day of his favored War in Iraq
In the race by so-called intellectuals to cash in on the untapped niche market of the current chaotic Atheist movement worldwide, Chris Hitchens captured his share of the gelt in that market.
His talents and classical British education were of course wasted on American culture. But here is where the money was for this polished wordsmithy.
Some quotes from a legacy already melting quickly away into the woodwork.

"Invented People" = Zero - The New Global Equation For Genocide? - Newt Gingrich
I don't know about you, but for me, after a few days of reading MSM comments, it, this obscenity, blasphemy against humanity, still grates on my ears - the unchristian statement - reduction of millions of people = zero, this new global formula / equation to reduce the enemy, true object of your $100 million dollar annual lobbying budget in Washington DC, to nothing. Planned Genocide to be - by any other name?
No matter what the ethnic billionaire oligarchs say through their catholic rent boys like Newt Gingrich, if we turn our backs on our Muslim brothers and sisters, we turn our backs on Jesus, or he turns his back on us like the above artwork implies.
Is this 1931 or 2011???
The only Catholic Church approved late term abortions - genocide? Surely Newt speaks for the USCCB, in their silence. Please speak DEAR BISHOPS of all christian sects, if for nothing else than feigned moral objections to be recorded in the historic timeline footnotes ?
What next? Where are the great crematory ovens in the Middle East now being built by Halliburton?
How do you spell Weimar Republic?

Show us the Bling! – Newt and Callista - Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner at Tiffany's
A lady shot herself and her two kids to death the other day in Laredo Texas at the food stamp office – she did not qualify to feed her family in these hard economic times.

More Circus if no bread etc. Whatever.
Newt stated that his account at Tiffany’s has no interest. What a sweetheart deal!
Also, we all know the story of the Diamond Necklace that started the French Revolution in 1789. If not:
Callista: Newt, the people have no bread.
Newt: Its not my problem. I’m rich. I shop interest free at Tiffany's.
