      As a former Catholic, I found that hilarious! I bet the Pope would, too…

      Colbert could’ve substituted the unbaptized baby for a larger, Italian, Muslim television personality, and it could have worked, too!  But, I think Colbert would’ve gotten himself a hernia trying to swaddle a man like that.  And the dude would’ve cried louder, too.

      “His Holiness??????”  I can’t get past the idea that anyone who is a child of God would allow someone else to call them “holy!”  All this pomp and circumstance for a man.  A sinner, mind you, in need of a Savior.  A man given attributes that Scripture only assigns to God… “His Holiness”, “Father”, come on!!! Wake up and smell the cult!

      Katrina:


      Check out the lyrics used for Pope John Paul II, sung to him at his jubilee celebration before he died:


      “Long live the Pope!


      His praises sound


      Again and yet again:


      His rule is over space and time:


      His throne the heart of men:


      All hail! The Shepherd Pope of Rome,


      The theme of loving song:


      Let all the earth his glory sing


      And heav’n the strain prolong…”


      I just wonder at times when “In Vicarus Fili Dei” will become the moniker for real for that office.
