LowerCaseRepublican Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 http://antiwar.com/justin/ One of the parts of a satire piece in there I found quite interesting -- "Isn't it time to put up the shutters on the Vatican windows and recognize that this oldest part of old Europe is no longer with the program? It was enemy territory in World War II and now it still is firmly in the camp of Germany and France. It is no surprise that the Pope opposes bold American leadership in the war on Terror and Iraq: he is living in jealous memories of the days when the Church was major power and when Rome was more important than Washington." The satire continues: "So why do we read the columns of vitriol printed about Germany and France, and nothing about John Paul and his undemocratic little autocracy tainted with anti-Semitism and anti-Militarism? Where is the New York Post dispatch from St Peter's Square? Why doesn't a Post reporter stand where Galileo was arraigned and say "It still sucks! Vivat wimpi!" Where are the cartoons showing white mushroom clouds coming from the Vatican chimney to symbolize the need for a new, young, vigorous and compliant Bishop of Rome?" The article is a bit long but it makes a good case for JP II being quite the anti-war on terror advocate and is a pretty damn good eulogy. And I should mention the author of this also writes for "The American Conservative". So its not the typical leftist vitriol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
