This week's "Those Wacky Xians!" - Poland's Archbishop and the secret police.

[looseliam]

He cooperated but didn't give any information?

As usual I'm missing something.

The Holy See can, well, I'll hold my tongue. *ahhhhhhhhh*

 

[looseliam]

He doesn't play an instrument by chance, does he???

My favorite part of the article is this:



He's leaving his fate in the hands of a guy who was enrolled in the Hitler youth?

What a dumb thing to say/post. As if children had choice in the Reich to become members of Hitlerjugend or not.

^^ Though I don't agree with a "a dumb thing to say/post" I do agree with the sentiment that people really had no choice back then.

It was like the boyscouts... with anthrax

Again, unnecessary catholic-bashing.

anyway, You may like to know that it's the second archbishop in Poland knocked down, and not as hard as the first one.
Archbishop Paetz of Poznan (Posen) was accused of molesting young clerics (yes, they were adult). He was promessing them support and stuff - mostly help in going to Rome. He was buying them pants with "Roma", Rome sign on their backside, and telling them to read it backwards - "Amor", love...

what's a fashion monkey?

 

[looseliam]

Every heard the phrase "a monkey on their back"? It refers to an addiction or a burden, in this case their love of fashion (Prada, designer jeans...)

or the wonderful red or white robes and pointy hats!

hm, priestly fashion... strange kink

Thanks for explaining
