    You are not forgiven you old pervert. Say 10 hail mary’s and quit handing out UFIAs.

  2. Olo Baggins of Bywater says:

    I don’t see any humor in this.

  3. Floyd says:

    It helps to have been a Catholic at sometime in your past.

  4. hotbarbadosgirl says:

    I am catholic and can stop laughing.

  5. derspankster says:

    My wife is Catholic and was therefore safe.

  6. Sofa Guru says:

    Lenny Bruce said (back in 1966!)
    “The ecumenical council has given the Pope permission to become a nun…but only on Fridays.”

  7. Olo Baggins of Bywater says:

    FWIW I’m surrounded by Catholics…my kids, ex-wife, lots of family and friends/co-workers. I’m not offended by this comic at all, it’s just not funny to me.

  8. Peter says:

    Sadly, not funny.

  9. The0ne says:

    So Marc, have your views changed slightly regarding the issue? Last we’ve talked you had a beef about me poking fun of the pope. With the issue being addressed more lately, I’m curious what your stance in the matter is now. No sarcasm or lunacy intended. I’m genuinely interested.

    The lunacy and sarcasm is reserve for our Bobbo here, which he should be coming forth shortly to make my day! yay :)

    I don’t find it funny in any shape or form. I find this act despicable. We need to do more to stop these type of people. I don’t mind having them sent on death road at all; not one bit.

  11. whaap says:

    NOT FUNNY, not funny at all

  12. Jorn says:

    It’s funny because it is true…

  13. Grandpa says:

    No funny. The people who did the cover up should be jailed as conspirators, not told to say ten hail Mary’s.

  14. Sofa Guru says:

    To all you good folks who think we’re making too much fun of Catholicism:

    Yeah, it’s a tragic situation and all this poking fun at wayward priests and whatnot is probably “too easy a target”, as they say. Okay, probably they’re just regular fallible people like the rest of us.

    But where IS God? Why isn’t He speaking to us directly, instead of that man up there in the pulpit? How did that guy get his authority to speak for Him…is it some kind of “driver’s license” you have to apply for or something?…from a Heavenly Motor Vehicle Bureau?

    Inquiring minds would like to know… /end of rant

    #- sofa — The first step is to be called by the god. Then you join a church and do good works like collect money from people. As you work your way up the church ladder, your calling will be tested many times. The community will help you as long as you keep the kids and wives happy.

    Once you are very high up on the ladder and have aged a bit, your calling starts to turn political. Before you know it, you are wearing a white pretty robe, hunched over, carrying a golden cane and being driven around in a bullet proof truck.

    This is how their god wants it.

  16. bobbo, the evangelical anti-theist says:

    Well, I also don’t think it is funny===because IT IS NOT TRUE!!!

    Those pedophiles in black dress have not been asking for forgiveness. They ask for secrecy and cover so that they can continue ruining the lives of those they have volunteered to protect==at the urging of the Pope.

    Corrupt from top to bottom. I could buy individual failures from time to time if “the system” responded appropriately but when the system not only is part of the problem but also causes the problem===what you got is corruption from top to bottom.

    Claiming you are “infallible” and “not subject to the laws of man” will do that to you. But its all a power grab whether recognized or not. A different kind of shame should apply to those who still support the church.

    Whats wrong with you?

    Ah, thank you. I feel enlightened now.

    Also, the late (reverend?) comedian George Carlin said:
    “…and you know what? God wants MONEY too, and lots of it!”

    (maybe it turns out He Himself is just another Average Fart-Blower as well, eh?)

  18. Floyd says:

    The kinda funny bit is that the priest has to confess his sins (apparently lots of ‘em) to the kid, who in turn is supposed to forgive the sins. The kid seems to be pondering what to do next…

  19. Angel H. Wong says:

    Pfft.

    That’s not funny. THIS is funny.

  20. Special Ed says:

    Do you think those kids really wanted the unsolicited finger in the ass? I don’t recall reading were that is OK in the bible but weirder shit has been found there. I’d just like to go on record saying you religious people are fucked up!
