Slog - Comments on Dead Pope Flaming, Not Gay http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/wheres_the_outrage If a flaming image of, say, Oscar Wilde or Harvey Milk appeared in a campfire crazier Catholics would insist it was proof that Wilde or Milk are roasting in hell with Mahatma Ghandi, Anna Nicole Smith, Henry VIII, and all the other non-Catholics. But when an image--a blurry one, of course, because they're always blurry ones--of John Paul II appeared to appear in a photo taken of a campfire, well, that's proof that he's in heaven, say the crazier Catholics. See how that works?...

In profile, looking to the right of the picture.

I'd say instead, the Holy Trinity just became - THE FANTASTIC FOUR!

This could look like a number of other things as well. The fact that the church is paying it any attention to it at all is frustrating. This is a sort of blind faith "miracle" to take people's attention away from pertinent matters in the world.

Then, after that penance, God will let him back into Heaven. But only if he stops calling Her a guy.

Maybe they were right. (What's that old saying about the kettle calling the pot black or something?)

I mention this only because I was born on the exact same day the man pictured on the right became Pope John Paul II: October 16, 1978.
