Anyhow, I thought I was being pretty funny when I suggested the Vatican should try opening up some amusement parks while they were at it. And maybe a few restaurants.

Dang! Your one attempt at humor, and I missed it!

What would a Vatican amusement park look like?

A carousel, with cherubs and saints for the kiddies to ride on.

The Ascension roller coaster--it takes you straight up into the heavens.

The Loaves and Fishes Restaurant--the only thing on the menu is fish and unleavened bread.

And, of course, the Cana Bar, where the wine never runs out!

I like the Cana Bar.

I assume you pay a set price, and you drink as much as you want?

The cherubs and saints, the loaves and the fishes, the Ascension rollercoaster--all too preconciliar. The new Vatican wouldn't go for that at all. It leans more towards something a little more generic and less Catholic--a few gods and goddesses, perhaps, with a couple of demons thrown in for good measure--the Vatican wouldn't want to exclude devout witchdoctors. Instead of a rollercoaster taking people up to Heaven, it would feature a Tunnel of Love for priests and their boyfriends--going straight in the opposite direction. It would also feature a snack bar where you can chase down the Blessed Sacrament with a cold Budweiser, just like at a papal Youth rally.
