“The choice is likely to dismay the Catholics of Hollywood,..”
Who knew there are any Catholics in Hollywood? Are any ‘practicing?’
You can’t make this stuff up! Pass the popcorn, please!
Opie, meet Opus.
Ping. I like Pope Benedict.
The UK’s take.
LOL may Simon Caldwell twitch with anticipation of the âPope’s revengeâ And May God’s servant, ever so faithful in all humility, restore His Church to faithful fulfillment of His mission!
“radically orthodox”
Good catch!
I think the Vatican has been working on this nomination for several long months. This one was carefully thought out. Liberal and Hollywood star-struck Mahony is out.
I think Mahony’s birthday was Saturday. No time was wasted...lol.
>>> The appointment was described as the Pope’s revenge on Hollywood for filming The Da Vinci Code.
Described by who ? Tom Hanks ? Sounds more to me like somebody is preemptively trying to poison the well.
On the other hand if the Pope’s appointments actually are more concerned about “revenge” then theology, failure is preordained.
Odd choice of terms. One can only assume that the author of the term personally disapproves of the ideology that the subject is orthodox to.
“revenge on Hollywood...”
If true, that turkey of a movie was finally useful for something.
Let me make sure I’ve got this right ... when the pope was thinking about who he should select for this position, and the criteria by which the selection should be made, foremost in his mind were Opus Dei, Hollywood, Opus Dei, Dan Brown, and, um, Opus Dei. Have I got that right?
I’m glad we’ve cleared that up - for some reason I thought the pope considered matters such as spirituality and pastoral salvation. Boy was I wrong.
