I saw that on the news last night...one of the weirdest spectacles I've ever seen.

Who said the Catholic Church isn't lagging behind in the times? Breakdancing is sooooo 1684

[sheik yerbouty]

Does the Pontif know that breakdancing got started by teenagers stealing hubcaps from moving cars?

[sirshackleton]

I hear the Pontif always throws this on the turntable to get him pumped up before mass:

The Pope needs to stop drinking beverages from aluminum cans ..imo

[searchandrecovery]

Yea, this sh-t easily gets the Pope's blessing, but "The Passion"? Big problems. Somethings wrong here.

One word: Stupid.

This sort of sordid display can only hold the Pope, the Vatican and the Church up to ridicule.

"I love you all. I love you very much," he said.

At the risk of being completely disrespectful, that's what Ozzy Osbourne says after his concerts!

[protest1]

Hmmmm... what a wast of time you would think he had better things to do than this.

Our Lady's Juggler

They saw Barnabas before the image of the Holy Virgin, his head on the floor and his feet in the air, juggling with six copper balls and twelve knives. In honor of the Holy Virgin he was performing the tricks which had in former days brought him the greatest fame. Not understanding that he was thus putting his best talents at the service of the Holy Virgin, the aged brothers cried out against such sacrilege. The Prior knew that Barnabas had a simple soul, but he believed that the man had lost his wits. All three set about to removed Barnabas from the chapel, when the saw the Virgin slowly descend from the alter and, with a fold of her blue mantle, wipe the sweat that streamed over the juggler's forehead.

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."

"Amen," echoed the brothers, bowing down to the floor.

Why isn't the Pope in his declining years cleaning the pedophiles and queers out of the Catholic Clergy instead of watching "break" dancing.

Dear Francisco,

Having seen folks do breakdancing on the streets in Washington, DC, I have to say, it's fun stuff. I don't see it differently from entertainments like juggling or spinning plates on poles, or other physically-demanding and entertaining amusements.

These things require some talent, some skill, and a whole lot of practice. They are enjoyable to watch, and of themselves, quite innocent.

That the pope would wish to enjoy them, and honor those who make the effort to accomplish these entertaining skills doesn't seem so awful to me. When I look at the pictures of Pope John Paul watching the breakdancers, I see the Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Catholic Church enjoying a more innocent aspect of human culture.

And that is a good thing.

Is it White Smoke time yet?

It is as it was.
