The Choco-Luther (© Fr Ray Blake). Hard for some Catholics to swallow.
In addition to the Luther statue, which Pope Francis will put in a position of honour next to his personal statue of Hans Küng, the Holy Father has been given a copy of the 95 theses of Luther. Fortunately they do not criticise Amoris Laetitia directly - since to do that is nowadays the only sin recognized by the Vatican. They do claim that the Pope is the Anti-Christ, but then so do some traditional Catholic bloggers.
"These theses say that the pope is totally confused. How did they know?"
If the canonization of Luther turns out to be a popular move, then there is a queue of other great religious thinkers awaiting their haloes. This includes Buddha, Mohammed, Henry VIII, and Ian Paisley. For we must remember that all people are saved and Hell was closed down as part of the Vatican II reforms. However, the case of G.K. Chesterton will not be considered. Ever.
Other churches have declared themselves open to dialogue with Pope Francis.
Hell remains in existence and I agree with Dante that one of the deepest rings of Hell is reserved for Mohammed.
ReplyDeleteThe Mahometan might be cheering when Bergoglio and Putin get thrown even deeper - alive.
DeleteWhat will this do to the brand!
ReplyDeleteHey Eccles, I've been reading your blog for some time now. I just wanted to thank you for your humor. I might be wrong here, but I think you add humor to the situations we most need to remember it, so thanks a lot and please keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree :)
DeleteThanks! Of course everything here is totally serious...
DeleteDo you mean ' caramelised ' ?
ReplyDeletehaha! had to work it out, worth the effort.
DeleteChoco-Luther is actually a Damien Hirst, the first of a themed series portraying the reformers as popular foodstuffs. Next, Calvin becomes a crusty baguette and Zwingli a giant Toblerone.
ReplyDeleteCatholic Chruch. Bunch of freaks. Yeah, they really love Martin Luther.
ReplyDeleteBosco, your blog is sick. You need help.
DeleteIt features Luther?
DeleteBergoglio could help by cancelling the visit to Sweden?
Are you still moderating me, you sick little monkey. What are you scared of.?

But he put a period before the question mark. This is unacceptable.
DeleteWell why not Martin. Everyone is being canonised these days. Even my cat has taken to watching His Holiness expectantly on the Telly.
ReplyDeleteHow can you be sure that is chocolate and not Luther sans snow?
ReplyDeleteThe statue of Luther was plain, but when the Pope started with his ecumenical talk, it became increasingly red. It was hastily shuttled away when it started glowing, to avoid some China Syndrome.
ReplyDeleteSoon after, some scientists who wish to remain anonymous claimed to have discovered a new kind of reactor which gives out free energy. Quite a coincidence.
