A representative of Her Majesty’s civil service has generated a memo- intended as a joke for his co-workers and not for worldwide Internet consumption- and the Vatican is not laughing. Who would have guessed that this head the worldwide criminal syndicate and champion of 17^th century drag queen fashion trends would also lack a sense of humor?

First, the memo:  Steven Mulvain, a recent Oxford graduate, is the man who distributed an internal government “brainstorming” memo proposing a bizarre itinerary to mark Pope Benedict’s September visit to the U.K. that reads more like a SNL sketch than something generated by the austere Foreign affairs office. The suggested itinerary for the Pope includes, in the now infamous “IDEAL VISIT” memo includes such activities as a launch of “Benedict” condoms, a blessing of a gay marriage, a Papal sponsorship of  a network of AIDS clinics, a training course for bishops on child abuse allegations and ordain a female priest and Topping it all off with the Pope and Her Majesty sing a duet for charity and changing the national anthem from God Save The Queen to God Save the World.

The Vatican was furious. Senior Papal aides suggested the Foreign Office had not taken strong enough disciplinary action against those responsible for the document. It turns out that Steven Mulvain, the author of the memo, was not fired. He was, in an ironic twist sure to win over the dry cerebral humor of the English, simply relocated to another department.

The news comes on the heels of prominent atheist such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens calling for the arrest of the pope for crimes against humanity during the Pope’s upcoming visit. Dawkins defended his position in a recent Washington post article, describing Benny as

A leering old villain in a frock, a man whose preaching of scientific falsehood is responsible for the deaths of countless AIDS victims in Africa; a man whose first instinct when his priests are caught with their pants down is to cover up the scandal and damn the young victims to silence.

The Vatican has brushed aside such charges, not by defending them, but by asserting that The Pope is a head of State, and not subject to such criminal charges.

The Vatican has even gone so far as threatening to cancel the trip, but has since promised that Pope Benedict, despite the condom issues, will Penetrate Her Majesty’s Country.

Pope Benedict XVI’s Easter Message: “Don’t be intimidated by the petty gossip of dominant opinion.”

This Easter Sunday, the group that brought you the inquisition and the crusades (imagine how those little pageants would have played out in a nuclear era) gives you a man who presided over- and gave his blessing to- decades of institutionally approved rape and pedophilia: Pope Benedict. Benny will cap off eight days of religious services and deliver his annual Easter Message in St. Peter’s Square. The address will be translated into 60 languages and heard around the world.

That the Pope, head honcho of the group responsible for the rape of more children, the murder of more women, and the torture of more innocent people than any other institution ever created by man- I’m speaking of the institution known as the Catholic Church- holds a position granting him higher respect than, say, Charles Manson, is, as they say, one of the great mysteries of faith.

Will Benny respond to criticism from notable Catholics, like the opinion piece penned in the Washington Post earlier this month by the self described yet excommunicated Catholic Sinead O’Conner, who said that the Pope’s recent apology for the sexual abuse of children by Priests rang hollow.

The Pope claimed that he wishes to bring healing to all of the victims by suggesting that those victims find their way back to closeness with the church- that very same church that demanded oaths of silence from the victims of sexual abuse.

In the words of another prominent world leader who claimed frequent communication with God:

“Fool me once, shame on, shame on you….. you fool me, you can’t get fooled again.”- former President George W. Bush

The Pope, like George Bush, understood well that powerful organizations seeking world domination rely on an uninformed and obedient populace.  Fear mongering and terror are two strategies in pursuit of this objective. The Church has burned scientists at the stake as part of a strategy to keep the masses from learning the Bible’s historical accuracy can not withstand the academic rigor of a typical 9 year old.

So, this Easter Sunday, while the Pope may not traffic in the same rhetorical minefield that lead the church to publish a how to guide to find, torture, and kill witches like they did the 1500’s with the publication of The Witches Hammer, the bestseller that served as a field guide for the Church sanctioned reign of terror and the torture and death of millions, but the overall objective will be the same, Protect and promote the institution.

The Pope has signaled clearly that he will not be intimidated by critics of the most recently acknowledged sexual abuse cases when he said that faith in God helps lead one “toward the courage of not allowing oneself to be intimidated by the petty gossip of dominant opinion.”

Let that phrase linger, as you consider the several millennia of terror techniques implemented by the Catholic Church, the most recent chapter of which includes the institutionalized rape of children and the protection, by the church, that benefits the monsters in priests clothing.

“Petty Gossip of Dominant Opinion”
