This bit didn't make it into the other thread that's currently making the rounds.

I'm posting it because the other post, by leaving this out, is misleading.

ah, so the Holy Father only plans to meet her as a head of state

as he would similarly meet with, say, child murderers and cannibals like former “national leaders” Idi Amin and Emperor Bokassa

[Farmer Dean]

I would hope that the Pope would award the witch with a certificate of excommunication.

[cripplecreek]

I just hope his Eminence remembers to stay out of striking range and that she can unhinge her jaw to swallow prey nearly twice her size.

doesn’t surprise me one bit. The Pope and other leaders of the Catholic Church are all not what I would want leading me.

Better yet,throw some holy water on her and we'll be done with her for good!

[MeanWestTexan]

I am holding out hope that he will perform an exorcism on her.

(Or at least publically chastise her.)

I know he has to tread carefully on things political (for example wishy-washy nicey with arabs is necessary to save Christians in arba lands), but she is so foul she needs someone to knock her around.

"ah, so the Holy Father only plans to meet her as a head of state as he would similarly meet with, say, child murderers and cannibals like former “national leaders” Idi Amin and Emperor Bokassa "

Why don't you wait until AFTER the meeting to pass judgment, or is taking another cheap shot at the Pope just too tempting?

[MeanWestTexan]

“Better yet,throw some holy water on her and we’ll be done with her for good!”

Pretty sure even just plain water would make her melt.

[Mr. Jazzy]

... So SHE can tell HIM when life begins so he can straighten out all those “anti-abortionists”.

[marshmallow]

Poor Holy Father.

He gets put upon by all these shysters who come calling, looking to add some faux gravitas to their sordid agendas by way of a photo op.

Pelosi has no shame. Knowing the Church's position on abortion and other moral issues and the Pope's previous admonitions to politicians, you'd think she'd just keep away and go elsewhere to do her gladhanding.

Gag!

[silverleaf]

just TOO tempting

and my shots do not come cheap......

waiting for the photo ops of Nancy with her lace mantilla, basking in the Pope’s radiance to further enhance her own “importance” and bolster her street creds to speak as a “catholic”

[silverleaf]

I could not have said it better

[MaxMax]

Will she bring a bag of feces, and a gay chaperon?

[Antoninus]

Of course not, because you are prejudiced against them.

Why not wait and see what comes of this before criticizing?

[Petronski]

Too good for you, eh?

That's a stunning admission.

[Farmer Dean]

Better have a fire extinguisher handy.

Of course she has no shame. This is her way of sticking it to him and to the rest of us.

I pray she is confounded in her wickedness.

All those criticizing the Pope on this issue should be praying for him instead.

[DManA]

On the other hand, the Bishops are VERY vocal and all over the board on things political.

I know he has to tread carefully on things political
