Hey, Il Papa, Shuddup Ya Face

Now I'm not saying the young fellow is past it, but how about this for an example of a lack of reality on behalf of Il Papa - chief Catholic of the world.

J-P Two has got stuck into lawyers who do their jobs and assist couples get divorced. He reckons if you're a Catholic lawyer you shouldn't be assisting in such a terrible moral crime.

For to J-P Two, divorce is a far worse thing than some poor sods starving to death, being tortured or imprisoned without trial and is almost a mortal sin.

And it's much better for Catholics to be in a disastrous marriage and suffer than to be sensible, end it and get on with new lives.

After all, what does it matter if a woman is pummelled regularly? Or a bloke cops years of unhappiness with a gambling addict? Or either has just simply made ther wrong choice and now has to suffer a lifetime of being stuck with someone they loathe?

Now, J-P, I know you haven't had the wealth of experience at living life that we older chaps have had - or have had to put up with a shrieking fishwife for years on end - but do you realise you are so out of touch it's ridiculous.

Here's a word of advice, stay out of the affairs of normal people, try to do something about the pedophiles that riddle your organisation and just stand on the balcony waving with a dreamy look on your face. That works really well.

In other words, shuddup ya face!
