Thought you all might have fun with this one. ;-)

STAN: Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.

FRANCIS: Why are you always on about women, Stan?

STAN: I want to be one.

REG: What?

STAN: I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.

REG: What?!

LORETTA: It's my right as a man.

JUDITH: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?

LORETTA: I want to have babies.

REG: You want to have babies?!

LORETTA: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.

REG: But... you can't have babies.

LORETTA: Don't you oppress me.

REG: I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!

LORETTA: [crying]

JUDITH: Here! I-- I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans', but that he can have the right to have babies.

FRANCIS: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.

REG: What's the point?

FRANCIS: What?

REG: What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies?!

FRANCIS: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.

REG: Symbolic of his struggle against reality.

They should be concerned. After all, the new Pope will strap up, send out special Monk Squads in Pope-mobiles, and take over the earth. Women will be put in chains. How do I know this? Whenever I inhale purple spotted smoke, my thoughts are never false. Does Art Bell have a hotline? /sarcasm

"Women send up pink smoke to protest male-only conclave to elect pope."

This is a joke, right?.....Something from the Onion?

I mean, it makes about as much sense as me protesting a Catholics-only conclave to elect the next Pope.

If you want to be "inclusive", sister -- be inclusive!

[CharacterCounts]

Dominican Sister Donna Quinn, a member of the National Coalition of American Nuns

The National Coalition of American Nuns is not a church organization. It i a lefyist, feminist poltical organization which supports abortion, gay rights, and the usual array of leftist causes.

My guess is the sister is about as anti-catholic as Mohammed Atta.

[John Lenin]

Coming from Lesbians who don't believe in God, this means absolutely nothing.

[SunkenCiv]

The question on everyone's implant-laden lips?

"Do you have to believe in God to become Pope?"

[HitmanLV]

...a group protesting the lack of women's voices in the conclave gathered outside Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago to send up billows of bright pink smoke along with prayers for women to be heard.

What makes them think women are not heard?

[j23]

"a group protesting the lack of women's voices in the conclave gathered outside Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago to send up billows of bright pink smoke"

God loves pink. Really. He created it. But they do not know about it. We all should pray for them.

[montag813]

At a time when young women are sold into slavery around the world, when war brings the rape of women, when it is women and children who suffer in poverty on earth and organized religions keep women in bondage celebrating the language of a male God, we know we cannot keep the silence demanded by male leadership in a church that claims to speak out for human rights,"

Uh, wrong religion you imbicile.

[shaggy eel]

,,, the women can do what Martin Luther did. He didn't waste time with pink smoke.

[I'm ALL Right!]

I'd like to know which woman out there actually WANTS to be Pope. I am a woman. I think this is so ridiculous it's funny.
