Andrew Sullivan declares here that whenever a Pope delares that “even closeted, chaste gay men cannot be priests,” he makes himself a legitimate target for the types of jokes recently aired on Italian television and radio.
Vatican to Italian comedians: your jokes aren’t funny.
Who cares about the jokes! Gucci? Italian leather seats in his private golf cart?? I'd like to hear from the fundies as they twist themselves into knots trying to justifiy the extravangant tastes of the man who is supposed to be the embodiment of Jesus on earth. Doesn't he tell us in the bible tell us to cast off earthly possessions?
If that doesn't exemplify the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church, I don't know what does!
