Satire: Pope says condom use allowed 'in certain cases'

[MissPraecipua]

Hilarious!! Good one..

[naybobdenod]

As with all dictatorships,too much power given to one individual leads to catastrophe.

This is why democracy kind of works :)

[strikenetter]

@logicalthinkingorg Brilliant! 

[TheLuckySaGe]

Is this satire? Please tell me this is satire........

[TheLuckySaGe]

@TheLuckySaGe On second thought this is definitely not the pope speaking. He sounds like he has a chinese accident and the way he says what he says has to be completely satire. Logicalthinkingorg I would appreciate it if you would clear up this issue. Also, if you want people to believe you, don't put up fake stuff.

[logicalthinkingorg]

@TheLuckySaGe Yes - this is satire. I re-dubbed the voice over and added in background chatter etc. ;)

[RetroComicHero]

I have watched it a number of times because I can't believe it. Is this really what he said? Did he really say "the next time one of you rapes a little boy..."? or is it just a joke?

[logicalthinkingorg]

@RetroComicHero Its a joke - Its dubbed over. Despite the Popes appalling record of protecting children entrusted into the Catholic church - he doesn't actually sanction child abuse ;)

excellent

@SyndicalistTimes ...unleashing my sense of the absurd.....

"The great OZ has spoken!"

...perhaps we should start making that comment on every video in which he speaks:)

[19lfm12]

Well done!

The sad reality is that what is REALLY said & discussed among the Princes of the Church, away from the cameras, is far worse then most imagine.

Clue; you do not get to be a Cardinal by being truly pious or Christ-like.

This is the word of the lord - praise be to the lord!

[hairyDingos]

its misogynistic*

[wordavee]

Wow, they like dressing up don't they?

Is it to look important, to feel important, or is it the strange fact that one of the most mysoginistic of organisations in the world like to wear big frocks???

Different coluors to show how far up the ladder to heaven you are, and the pope wears the prettiest of them all, and none of them see how utterly opposite it is to the religious teachings they supposedly follow!!

[19lfm12]

@wordavee Indeed. Jesus was poor, owning only his clothes. Homeless, eating what ppl gave him to eat. Yet he never was hungry & taught the Apostles to live this way to pass on his teaching by personal example.

As you indicate, there is total incoherence between him & the Vatican Administrators.Add to this the overt disconnect between Jesus' teaching & their words/deeds, it becomes obvious that they do not believe in him or them.

Only in their utility to 'keep them in furs'.

"Indeed. Jesus was poor, owning only his clothes. Homeless, eating what ppl gave him to eat. Yet he never was hungry & taught the Apostles to live this way "

Taught them to be a leech on society like most of the clergy, immams and monks who rely on the charity, indeed demand it, of the religious sheep to support them, when they should get out and get real jobs.

[19lfm12]

@wordavee One who is a sincere spiritual leader is never a 'leech; as he is worth his food.

In the first few centuries, Xtianity gained followers exponentially. Why? Because ppl saw their sincerity. That they lived what they believed, holistically. But that all changed with the founding of the Vatican under Constantine, when it became a state religion.

Regardless of what you believe, that is factual reality.
