Christian Subversion And Missionary Activities - 6

Holy Inquisitions, Batman!
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->"At the time of Galileo the Church remained much more reasonable than Galileo himself. The process against Galileo was reasonable and just."    — Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (now Pope), 1990.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Ratty would have still been head of The renamed Inquisition at that point, am guessing.
The holy monopoly doesn't change. Neither does its position on heresy, blasphemy and heathens. No matter how it changes its tone - yelling Gott Will Es at its Absolutely Powered peak, or pleading softly while attempting to sneak back into Absolute Power.

<b>ADDED:</b>
Classic hysteria.
A memorably laughable christoterrorist assertion - an equality predicate that has backfired most magnificently (the lesson being that christians obviously shouldn't attempt logic):
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->"To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is <i>as erroneous as</i> to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin."    — Cardinal Bellarmine (1615, during the trial of Galileo).<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Exactly. A straightforward admission!
Look at how forthright his eminence Bellarmine was, he spoke the truth <i>in spite of</i> his catholic self:
"since the earth <i>does</i> revolve around the sun, jesus was not born of a virgin."
So much for mary. Time to spread the news to all faithful Indian catholics that the virgin mary routine has been officially exposed as a myth. Comes straight from the cardinal.



Opportunistic church - anything to get back to power:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->"When socialism comes into power, the Roman Church will advocate socialism with the same vigor [with which] it is now favoring feudalism and slavery."    — Ferdinand August Bebel (1840-1913).<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Bebel's a "German socialist leader" (unions, I'm guessing).


<b>ADDED:</b>
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->"There are three ways a man can be ruined: women, gambling, and farming. My father chose the most boring."    — Pope John XXIII (1881—1963).<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->He's speaking of his mother.

And that was the christopope summarising the babblical intention and making a public service announcement:
To male cretins he has declared: don't get married ("ruination").
To female cretins: you spell the ruination of male cretins, so don't get married either.
To both kinds of cretins: don't have kids.

Yeah, cretins should listen to the (2nd) Pope John 23 (Angelo Roncalli). It's the *christian* thing to do.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->"There are three ways a man can be ruined: women, gambling, and farming. My father chose the most boring."    — Pope John XXIII (1881—1963).<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Farming? Farming? What's wrong with farming now <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

There you go catholic cretins: don't go into farming. Ruination, ruination, ruin!
