From Victims to Laughingstocks
I stumbled across a brand-new website, that of the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State, no less, and could not believe my eyes. Can this possibly be for real? With such a name, they must be extremely, impressively serious. But on a closer look, this is either a sophisticated tongue-in-cheek joke, or there are some desperate deluded people out there. Or both. In their quest for justice, the ITCCS formally issued a “Public Summons to Joseph Ratzinger (aka “Pope Benedict”) and six senior cardinals in the Roman Catholic Church, inc. to appear before our opening session on September … More…

Breaking News: St. Anthony Swiped
Such times we live in; the Age of Science, and yet ancient scraps of dead people are still treasured by many for their magical powers. Well, as long as it’s not a case of “furtim sacrim“, the time-honored practice of sacred theft, wherein it’s OK under some circumstances to “liberate” relics if they are to get a better home with more veneration, the statue should return just fine. As they mention, St. Anthony is the patron saint of lost objects, and one of the few that’s ever answered any of my prayers, I can tell you. The nuns taught that … More…

Pop Corn, Light Incense
What the hell is going on? Recently I’ve noticed an ominous trend in upcoming programming. 2011 looks like it’s going to be a bumper year for shows featuring Catholic and/or demonic themes. Oh boy.

Pope Arrested!
[HUMOR] LONDON — Authorities have announced the arrest of Joseph Ratzinger, 83, a/k/a Pope Benedict XVI, outside Westminster Cathedral in London, today. The so-called “pontiff” surrendered peacefully after a tense, hours-long armed standoff at the church, along with several of his chief lieutenants and other accomplices, after the Archbishop of Canterbury refused to grant him sanctuary. Ratzinger was apprehended on an international warrant as part of a Terrorism Act 2000 operation launched by the Metropolitan Police Force’s Counter-Terrorism Command, a statement from Scotland Yard said. Authorities immediately ratcheted up the UK threat level to “scary”, which means that security chiefs … More…

The Quest for the Master Key
I’m bumming today, having ended four long years of research tracking down a clue to the ultimate smoking gun, what I’d hoped would be the crown jewel of all my digging into the Church’s dark and hidden history. I’ve called this elusive Holy Grail, the “Master Key“. The idea that there could even be such a thing came to me after reading a 19th century academic History of Auricular Confession by an American scholar named Henry C. Lea. He wrote: “…there was an even higher authority for the violation of the seal, for the confessor in this case was a … More…
