My family and I were Catholic when I was growing up. It's amazing how well they sheltered parishioners about some of the sick, evil shit they've done/continue to do. Everybody knows about it now, but I didn't have any idea until after I left the Church.
I have all of the 8 seasons of Penn & Teller. Apparently, they couldn't put this video on their DVD's for fear of being sued by the Vatican. Thank sanity and truth for the internet !
Firstly yes to the guy who said turn the Vatican into a museum, it's very pretty. Secondly does anyone go and watch this who doesn't already agree with P&T, for the most part.
@BigFatHeretic Just please get Apollo Belvedere out first, coolest scuplture ever, such a shame it's in such shitty hands...funny how the Vatican is breaking the first commandment blatantly in their own facilities by displaying the Greek god of music and master of the sun.
@Poodleinacan The Pope would probably begin to drool, drop to his knees and beg to fellate. I wouldn't want to expose some innocent exhibitionist to such a vile and disgusting sex act committed by that revenant in charge.
if any of you know anything of the Catholic Church, we are the richest religion on the planet, as well as top owners of property. Oh and I forgot to mention the number 1 religion with charity. I'd say the Mormons are second in charity.
hmmm... how much money is at that place???? who wants to get a gang together and raid the motherfuckin place???? why hasnt it been done already.... thats bullshit , raid the fucking place like ancient Rome
I think the world would be just about the same without religion in it. Not better, not worse, though beliefs in a higher being would still exist, it's inevitable, maybe it'd be less massive and each person would believe in their own version of God.
I think the world would be just about the same without religion in it. Not better, not worse, though beliefs in a higher being would still exist, it's inevitable, maybe it'd be less massive and each person would believe in their own version of God.
now, i don't know if it's because of all the pictures i've seen crossing the popes face with emperor palpatine's, or if there's a gas leak in here, but when i look at that guys face, i shudder: all i can see is evil in his eyes, in his glare.
It is very sad that people still believe that he receives messages from god directly and that the pope is special, but where in the bible did it say something about obeying a pope? Or that its right to idolize someone? Wait, Christianity does involve a lot of making someone idols and praising those idols
Whenever tell people how much i hate religious, they just assume i hate god. That's how deeply ingrained religious crooks got the idea that they are the word of god into people's head.
You want to believe in a god? That's your choice, your problem, your happy place, you whatever. But stop humouring the fucks calling the shots and manipulating people in the "name of god".
Most of the crap religions claim to be sinful are man made bullshit, devised to empower themselves by controling people.
Rome should turn pagan once again and revolt against the Vatican. Libya is finally free from Qadaffy Duck. Egypt is free from their tyrant.. Now, it's Italy's turn. JUPITER RULES!!
@bgjunior22 -optimus maximus! btw, are you sure they aren't secretly worshipping our heavenly father still? did you you know constantine refused to be baptized, even on his death bed. yeah i'm talking about the emperor who basically invented christianity and made it state religion.
those with clean minds are individuals, those with washed minds are religious sycophants... this is coming from a guy who has a hunch that there could well be a god!
THINK PRIESTS ARE BAD ,? should talk to men that were educated by the "christian brothers" in ireland , if you couldnt take a mike tyson style punch ,then you were a cunt AMEN
I guess God gave specific instructions to the Vatican to cover up child molestation and protect those guilty of it. Because that's something God would want. Fuck Catholicism.
Sell Buckingham Palace and throw the old lady on the street. Use the money to feed the poor.
Sell the white house, what's a so called republic doing with a quasi palace anyway. For that matter sell all the government buildings and give the money to the poor.
This episode isn't really about religion; it's about politics; or rather, the unholy alliance of the two. You can believe whatever you want, but keep it out of public policy, be it state, national, or world politics. Sadly, the Vatican proves time and again that big religion is inseparable from big government.
Why do they have to subtitle sabina? Her english is great......are americans really that bad at listening to speakers with accents from other countries? C'mon......that's BULLSHIT!
I read this on wiki "This episode is not on the season 7 DVD, and it is no longer listed on the show's official website, however it can be viewed online."
Penn and Teller just can't seem to stop harping on the religion issue. I don't understand what they think they accomplish by it, other than to make a lot of smug atheists a bit more smug. Every person alive does a thousand irrational things a day, and yet what they take issue with is the one irrational thing that has a profound, uplifting, beneficial effect on so many people's lives. Faith is exploited and misdirected because it is powerful and compelling, not because it is inherently evil.
so you're saying that no one should even address the negative side of religion just because there are a few benefical aspects. The reason why they attack the vatican is because they answer to a higher power yet sometimes they seem to have no morals at all. I am sorry but the vatican is bullshit, it goes against everything jesus ever wanted. If they sold the vatican they could cure world hunger.
@mikeportnoyfan The vast majority of people that watch Penn & Teller are probably not Catholic and the few Catholics that do watch it aren't going to change their mind because of this episode. All it does is make the other 98% of their viewers who have plenty of flaws and irrationalities and immoral habits feel like they can feel that much better about themselves and aren't responsible for some of the problems in the world they actually are responsible for. It accomplishes less than nothing.
Selling the Vatican would devalue gold too heavily. I think they need to strip it, then sell the individual pieces. Or turn it into a resort. "Come on down, to the Vatican Hotel & Casino, located in Vatican City! All our strippers are dressed like Naughty Nuns & Dirty Catholic Schoolgirls!"
@mikeportnoyfan No they couldn't. Money isn't going to cure world hunger. Even if you gave everyone a whole bunch of food to feed them for a year it wouldn't solve world hunger. Changing human nature is the only thing that will end world hunger.
@mikeportnoyfan all of christianity is the problem. I'm not catholic either, i'm an atheist. So don't blame it on the catholics when protestants are just as bad.
@mikeportnoyfan If all television Protestants sold all their wealth they could solve world hunger too. What is your point? If everyone in America sold all their houses we could solve world hunger as well.
@mikeportnoyfan The Vatican only had 50 billion worth of value and a lot of that value has to do with the high value of ancient documents, the Vatican is the oldest library in the world that is a large chunk of it's wealth. So we should burn books now? Bill Gates is worth 56 billion the Vatican is only worth 50 billion. Bill Gates could buy the Vatican and have 6000 million left over and your suggesting an entire religious organization dismantle itself?
Yes, We should dismantle the vatician, keep the ancient artifacts, sell them to museums (where the fucking belong), and give all the money to the poor, the sick, and the hungry. Bill gates made his fortunes, off of capitlaism, the vatician obtained their wealth by opression. Fuck you
@mikeportnoyfan The artifacts are now just statues they are ancient documents which need to be studied. Oh right Bill Gates worked hard for all of his money. The amount of money you spend on air condition a month could save 50 children in Africa from starving to death. Fuck you.
@RoughitforGreen247 The one irrational thing? Really? There are plenty of irrational things that give people comfort, just look at obsessive compulsive people. The reason however that they harp on religion is because even though it gives people comfort, it also is obviously wrong. The man who claims to be king of the universe is obviously wrong, but it gives him comfort to make those claims. Should he not be put into a mental institution before he hurts himself by acting on those delusions?
@RoughitforGreen247 Penn and Teller approach this with humor and they make some very good points. I'm religious and yet I think the vatican's bullshit and I've met some ppl that were raised catholics that developed some skepticism towards it as well. we don't live in the middle ages anymore, for fuck's sake.
The fact that this episode is not any of the season DVDs and that Penn hastily and nervously changes subject when it's brought up in interviews speaks volumes, well at least to me...
in what way is he a right wing pope??? hes an ex nazi, who doesn condemn abortion as much as the previous ones. and he says aliens exist! thats left wing
@nonh1 joking about what? that aliens exist? the vatican issued a statement last summer saying that aliens most likely exist, and that their existance does not impede the beliefs of catholicism. look it up hun.
@mrmetal117 what has he ever done to you? why is he an arse? regardless of ur religion, u cant deny the countless people he has helped. maybe your rather have a pope like hitler?
@MrOisean what injustices?!?! they ended hundreds of years ago. pope john paul had nothing to do with that. he WAS A GREAT HUMANIST! look at his record. what have YOU done for humanity?!
@guineapiggyman Catholic priests sexually abusing children and not being brought to justice and at the same time, their crimes being covered up as a way to protect the church? Thats pretty unjustified.
George Carlin still has the best logical approach as to why religion is pure BS. They say: "You need to have a mind of a child to enter into heaven" I say, you need the brain of one. Religion: "The most successful franchise in the history of the world" .....and tax free at that!
it saddens me cause i wish there were a god, a lovely idea for sure, but with what i've seen in the world there is nothing in it that leads me to believe that a god exists, or if he does he has long since forsaken us
Religion is like the lottery. There are lots of ticket to heaven, and each one kinda has the same chance, so you might as well not waste your time and life on it.
If there is god, then i thank everyone for praying, but every religion might be right, maybe the world was made by an alien. I wonder what god aliens worship
All religions think they are right, but obviously they are all wrong. Its a waste of time.
I talked to my christian friend yesterday. I was a fierce advocate against religion but what he said really hit me. he said,"god has a plan for EVERYTHING, everything that is happening is part of his plan." After this, i realised that, really, there is no point fighting or debating this people. When you say god has planned for me to debate you, there is no way i can refute that. So i have decided to no longer debate with my religious friends, even though i knw they are living in delusion....
@foxfiremozilla " " i have decided to no longer debate...." and that fits god's plans perfectly. . rest my case. . . this is also in his (or is it a her,....naaaahhh). . and saying that it is part of the plan, it's also in the plan, in fact, reinstating it's also in the plans...in fact...... oh hell,i give up too,,,,,which is also part of the plan. see how simple it is
@foxfiremozilla From what you are saying there's no free will, you are a robot, you do as the plan. you are just a robot doing what is programmed. Lol.
@dokboy77 I suggest not buying anything else with 'Showtime' branded on it until they grow some balls and release that set in full. But perhaps that's a little too harsh.
@fyrestarter89 Actually, Catholics are Christians, at least a sect of Christianity. It was because of the Reformation movement that Protestants started to mock the Catholic Church and calling them non-Christians or false-Christians(which should be a more correct term). BTW, I'm an atheist, I just wanted to point something out.
@fyrestarter89if that is the case, religion for u should be invalid. Catholicism came first and whether you like it or not protestantism stemmed from it. either you believe or you don't. you can't have your cake and eat it too.
@Roberodification I think you guys are being harsh on fyre. They said they are christian and agree the vatican is bullshit. AFAIK not all christian show loyalty to the vatican. Sure they branched out from it, but they did so for a reason.
All I am saying is just because someone is a christian does not mean they have to believe the vatican is the ultimate holy ground.
Hell, fundies refer to the vatican as the cult of rome.
I'm agnostic, just saying before people cliam im buthurt.
@fyrestarter89 I also thik there needs to be a distinction between vatican catholics and Kennedy catholics. The former are psychotic and evil and the latter are progressive, but like church... like my grandma
Jesus walks into the last supper and sees them all drinking beer and eating pizza, Jesus says "who paid for all this?" and Peter says "Judas is treating us, hes come into some money".
@RadioFreeWisconsin: who help to prop up vatican power...that's like saying I hate National Socialism but individual Nazi's should be judged as individuals. I'm sure they're very lovely but they are making a very immoral decision.
@bluezoso is true, this episode isn´t avaiable on DVD and isn´t mentioned in the website of P&T:B!
because Showtime was affraid after passing this episode or catholic people got angry with this, so they decided to delete this from dvd´s & their website (hahahahahahaha)
today is impossible to hide episodes without making the world notice, with media like internet, youtube, wikipedia, etc.
It's such fun being an ex-catholic Atheist right now in Germany... :D When Ratzinger became pope the Bildzeitung (our print analogue of the US' Fox news) was "WE ARE POPE!!!" all over, people were ecstatic. All of a sudden not so anymore... I *wonder* why... :D Looking forward to the next family meeting, I *bet* I can get my godfather (an uncle who is priest and lives in Vatican City) to leave early... ROFL
@Ericthebearjew1 Ouch not all catholics are anti-semitic and racists in fact most are not. If you want to see an anti-semitic christian group take a loo at the Lutherans. it was Martin Luther not pope who wrote the book "On Jews and their Lies". And BTW Swatstika is a Hindu symbol and Budhist symbol
@mcmorma: "homosexuality is exceedingly common in nature. Female cats housed separately from males display all of the behavior patterns of homosexual arousal...fem. gulls sometimes mate as lesbian couples. Male gorillas band together & exhibit homosexuality... pygmy chimps reg. have homosexual interactions... homosexuality is so common in other species-and it occurs in such a variety of circumstances-that human homosexuality is striking not in its prevalence, but in its rarity."-Dr.HelenFisher
there are. elephant seals. when the alpha males fight and pair up with females the smaller males that are sexually mature fuk males smaller than them. its not pretty tho
This episode makes me think of the Onion video in which the pope is disappointed to find, upon his death, that heaven is much less opulent than the vatican.

@mikeportnoyfan The artifacts are now just statues they are ancient documents which need to be studied. Oh right Bill Gates worked hard for all of his money. The amount of money you spend on air condition a month could save 50 children in Africa from starving to death. Fuck you.

@RoughitforGreen247 The one irrational thing? Really? There are plenty of irrational things that give people comfort, just look at obsessive compulsive people. The reason however that they harp on religion is because even though it gives people comfort, it also is obviously wrong. The man who claims to be king of the universe is obviously wrong, but it gives him comfort to make those claims. Should he not be put into a mental institution before he hurts himself by acting on those delusions?

@RoughitforGreen247 Penn and Teller approach this with humor and they make some very good points. I'm religious and yet I think the vatican's bullshit and I've met some ppl that were raised catholics that developed some skepticism towards it as well. we don't live in the middle ages anymore, for fuck's sake.

George Carlin still has the best logical approach as to why religion is pure BS. They say: "You need to have a mind of a child to enter into heaven" I say, you need the brain of one. Religion: "The most successful franchise in the history of the world" .....and tax free at that!

Religion is like the lottery. There are lots of ticket to heaven, and each one kinda has the same chance, so you might as well not waste your time and life on it.
If there is god, then i thank everyone for praying, but every religion might be right, maybe the world was made by an alien. I wonder what god aliens worship
All religions think they are right, but obviously they are all wrong. Its a waste of time.

I talked to my christian friend yesterday. I was a fierce advocate against religion but what he said really hit me. he said,"god has a plan for EVERYTHING, everything that is happening is part of his plan." After this, i realised that, really, there is no point fighting or debating this people. When you say god has planned for me to debate you, there is no way i can refute that. So i have decided to no longer debate with my religious friends, even though i knw they are living in delusion....

fyrestarter89 1 year ago
@fyrestarter89 Actually, Catholics are Christians, at least a sect of Christianity. It was because of the Reformation movement that Protestants started to mock the Catholic Church and calling them non-Christians or false-Christians(which should be a more correct term). BTW, I'm an atheist, I just wanted to point something out.
ELcapalla2 1 year ago
@fyrestarter89if that is the case, religion for u should be invalid. Catholicism came first and whether you like it or not protestantism stemmed from it. either you believe or you don't. you can't have your cake and eat it too.

@Roberodification I think you guys are being harsh on fyre. They said they are christian and agree the vatican is bullshit. AFAIK not all christian show loyalty to the vatican. Sure they branched out from it, but they did so for a reason.
All I am saying is just because someone is a christian does not mean they have to believe the vatican is the ultimate holy ground.
Hell, fundies refer to the vatican as the cult of rome.
I'm agnostic, just saying before people cliam im buthurt.

All of a sudden not so anymore... I *wonder* why... :D Looking forward to the next family meeting, I *bet* I can get my godfather (an uncle who is priest and lives in Vatican City) to leave early...
