Comrade AOC, or "Big Sister" as she wishes to be known.
With the backing of Pope Francis, whose political views are very similar, and his likely successor Cardinal Cupich, AOC proposes to reform the Catholic Church in her own image.
Out goes the Pontifical Academy for Life, which was never very active anyway, and in comes the Pontifical Academy for Death, confirming once and for all that pro-life issues are no longer worth taking seriously. After all, as Fr James Martin LGBTSJ believes, you cannot be pro-life if you don't believe in gay marriage; or as St Greta of Thunderbird puts it, how DARE you try and save people's lives when the world is literally burning away into ashes. (How many polar bears have YOU seen today? Well, that proves it.) That great statesman and pious Catholic, Joe Biden, backs the Pontifical Academy for Death all the way.
Your new-look Vatican (St Lubyanka's Square)
So it's time to remodel the Vatican on socialist principles. The CDF will be closed down and replaced by the KGB (the Kongregation for Good Belief), which will punish all those who criticise our supreme leader Francis or the blessed Alexandria. Cells are already being built for Viganò, Schneider, Burke, Brandmüller, Zen, Sarah, Festing, and other dissidents, and these people will not be released until they have undergone a sacrament known as Cerebellum Mundabitur (washing of the brain); they will then sign a letter saying that they love Big Brother (the new more comradely title for the Holy Father).
Just what I've always wanted!
All churches will be closed down, and our subsidiary organization, BLM-Antifa-Extinction, or Soros-Gates Enterprises for short, will be responsible for setting fire to them. Catholic worship will be conducted by means of a two-way telescreen in every Catholic's house, which will check that all Catholic worship is compliant with socialist doctrine.
Every day the liturgy will include a two-minute hate, although the object of the hatred will change daily. Some times it will be the hated Trump, but it may also be the hated far-right Johnson, the hated Orbán, the hated Salvini, or whoever else our chief theological adviser (Comrade Massimo Faggioli) deems suitable for attack.
Finally, the Catholic Church's major shareholder, the Chinese People's Catholic Church, will be contributing ideas for the best way to control rebel Catholics - locking them in a dungeon and feeding them on bat soup is just one new idea that is being explored.
Comrade Schlumpf is right: the future of the Catholic Church is definitely Occasional-Cortex!
LOL!!! Too funny!!! Thank you for that wonderful writing! I needed that comic relief! 😂🤣😂👍
ReplyDeleteJust like all the other posts you wrote - utmost funny but I feel like crying because this is the truth and our future...
ReplyDeleteAgree, not so distant future either.
DeleteThis is so close to the truth I couldn't even giggle. It's rather frightening actually... but then, Occasional-Cortex! That got me going!
ReplyDeleteAs ever, a wonderful piece of satire from Bruvver Eccles! The only trouble is that, as the late great Michael Wharton (aka Peter Simple) discovered, the world has a habit of making yesterday's satire tomorrow's reality.
ReplyDeleteChicago Catholics have their own AOC:
ReplyDelete*Cardinal "Accidental Occasional-Catholic" Cupich.
*Winner of Eccles' World Cup of Bad Catholic Cardinals
Bullseye!
DeletePresumably she is in favour of statue toppling?
