Who ya gonna call?

Frankly, I’m gobsmacked. Finally, unexpectedly, as it did in so many places, the scandals appear to be reaching flash point around none other than the pope. Questions have arisen about Pope Benedict’s role in dealing with perpetrators when Joseph Ratzinger was but a bishop, a scandal in the choir headed by his own brother, another scandal involving prostitution in the Vatican choir, and even the chief exorcist of the Vatican admitting to the presence of Satanists there (more on that later).

Bookies are even making odds on the pope’s possible resignation!

Yet, in the midst of all this, I have this incredible information and am being completely ignored. I feel like the kid bursting with the answer, waving his hand desperately to get recognized by the teacher to no avail.

Here is my latest attempt, with a new Press Release.

And here’s documentary proof, in PDF format, adapted from my book, Sons of Perdition:

Ratzinger’s Responsibility for the Sex Scandals

Read it and weep, people.

What’s wrong with this picture?

I’ve neglected this blog a lot. Believe it or not, I’ve wanted to turn my attention to topics other than clergy sex abuse in the Catholic Church. As a gnostic, heretic, and long time sci-fi fan, the religious implications of UFOs, what the Church knows about Roswell, and even the possibility that Christ could be seen as an extraterrestrial have long intrigued me.

But the Church just won’t let me be. Every time I think, Okay, I can walk away now, they come up with something even more outrageous. I’ve stoically ignored the meltdown in the Irish Church, even failed to mention the choirboy scandals in Germany. But now…

Well, now there’s a new scandal brewing in Rome.  And thus the cause for the irony between the headline and the picture above.  Those are Irish cardinals who’ve been called in on the carpet for the sex scandals there.

Sometimes the best gifts are those you never ask for, but are given anyway.

For instance, I would never, ever have thought of writing to Saint Nick,

“Dear Santa,

“This year, could you somehow have the pope tackled during a procession? I don’t want anybody really hurt, but it would sure brighten up my Christmas.”

But guess what? It happened anyway! Well, although an elderly cardinal broke his leg, the pope himself wasn’t hurt in the commotion, and that’s just fine with me. (Seriously, the last thing I’d want is Ratzi to become a martyr — and the incident wouldn’t have been at all funny, either.)

But having him taken down with a flying tackle by a woman in red? Priceless.
