| Crowd of Gypsy children arrive to escort the Pope out of the hall |
This Catholic News Service video is surely one of the oddest of his pontificate. It must be seen to be believed. The actual story was reported by the Daily Mail, among others.
"Hey Papa, would you like to meet my sister? Hey Papa, you may meet two of my sisters if you choose it. You no like my sisters? You no like nudie? Papa, I have cannelloni, spumoni, gelato. You want Hans Kung out-of-print? You want gold mirror to see your pope face anytime? You want us put curse on Edward Pentin? We get it for you, Papa. We get it."
I heard it was either this or a group of Tinkers engaged in a bare knuckle brawl. Unfortunately for the Tinkers, the Holy Father is a sucker for smoking hot Tárogató licks.
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck is it with this guy allowing half clad women to bump and grind in the sanctuary right in front of him? This is a devolution even from the tango Mass! What's next--twerking on the altar? In the name of mercy of course.
ReplyDeletesorry...just realized this one isn't in the sanctuary; still......
ReplyDeleteNo, but the Paul VI Hall (or whatever it's called) is a travesty. The sculpture behind the stage is abominable and grotesque.
DeleteThis is almost as bad as the pretty boy acrobats who performed in front of an appalled Pope Benedict a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteLooked that one up on You Tube. How did you know about that, Dymph? Do you write copy for Ripley's Believe it or Not? Pretty bad but this gypsy one is worse.
DeleteNow I have the song "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" stuck in my head. And anyone who has visited as a tourist to metropolitan Italy will have not-so-fond memories of gypsies as thieves and pickpockets.
ReplyDeleteWell, the Muslims are now giving them a run for their money, even if they're a tad less subtle...
