WYD: Catholics Gone Wild!
I know that’s not the current Pope. His Holiness is resting at Opus Dei’s Rancho Relaxo, happily texting pilgrims with his new cat and piano. (Can WYD get any goofier?) The Pontiff’s duties won’t start until Thursday through Sunday for World Youth Day.
In the meantime, as pilgrims continue to arrive for Day 1 of WYD, let’s hope any unmarried pilgrims choose to ignore Cardinal George Pell. Yesterday Pell told a media conference we should be breeding more. Apparently the future of Australian society (and other Western societies - he was unable to just say ‘other white societies like ours’) requires more babies to remain ’stable’. Hopefully this won’t cross the minds of too many pilgrims as they sleep together under the stars (thousands of them) at Randwick Racecourse on Saturday night!
It’s always reassuring to be told by a single, 67 year old male who wears frocks and a red hat such things as, ‘breed more’ or ‘climate change is a symptom of pagan emptiness’.
Hopefully the only thing most visiting pilgrims will have to say about George Pell is, ‘Who was that guy with the miserable sounding voice?’
In other WYD news, Morris Iemma has blamed God for the appalling state of mental health, disability services and housing in NSW.

The only reason the Catholic church (and others) want greater population is to further foster wealth and power. The true religious believers such as Pell believe that god will provide. Bit rich as thier is quite obviously no god.
