Copulate or perish
Well, the insanity has officially started, I guess. And our local good ol’ boy, George SmellPell has been reported as issuing this little bit of advice:
The Catholic Archbishop of Sydney, Cardinal George Pell, today warned Western nations such as Australia to populate or perish.
So let me see if I’ve got that right… we have to populate, so that means… gee… SEX! We have to have SEX (and preferably not with a Catholic priest, although they do not seem to have much difficulty in getting their ends wet anyway). So in other words, the Catholic Church is telling Western nations such as Australia to go and get fucked.
Ka-ching! Amen.
I suppose this comes as no surprise. From It’s no sin if you try to cash in, we have the following:
THE CATHOLIC Archbishop of Sydney, Cardinal Pell, said yesterday there was nothing immoral about commercialism as he opened the first official World Youth Day venue: a merchandise tent in Hyde Park.
The “WYD on Hyde” tent features caps, scarves, “I love Jesus” T-shirts, a Receive The Power CD set, stainless-steel dog tags, sticker packs and much more.
Cardinal Pell did the honours at the opening ceremony, which included performances by Tempus, an introduction by Mike Willesee and the launch of the new Vatican-approved book This Is The Mass.
“There’s nothing immoral with a little commercialism,” Cardinal Pell said. “Our way of life is built on commercialism, on trade, on industry and on finance. People have got a right to make a living.
“If you can make a living out of doing a good thing, which is spreading Christ’s message in a modern way, I wish them well. I hope they make a few bob, as we used to say.”
