AUTHOR: Dave Sypniewski DATE: Monday, April 18, 2005 ----- BODY: The chimney at the Vatican is already blowing a lot of smoke. Posted by Hello Deciding to pack everything up and going to the Wisconsin Dells on the spur of the moment one weekend is no easy task. Imagine what it must be like to be sitting and watching "Wheel of Fortune" and suddenly getting the bright idea to hop an international flight to Vatican City! How much would you pay for a ticket to go there and see a chimney belch up a puff of smoke? I can see my next door neighbor do that for free with his two pack a day habit! Yet, people find the need to go there. Never mind the cost...it's "a calling" of sorts. Not to mention good PR for Italy's Board of Tourism! It amazes me to see some of the people going there in protest because they think this is a golden opportunity for a much needed change in the Catholic Church. This morning, I saw a bunch of women on the steps near The Conclave. They had a little chimney that was blowing "pink" smoke. They think that women are getting ripped off and want to see female priests. They also want to see the Church recognize homosexuals. Heck, they probably want to see a woman as Pope too! Well, they can stand out there until the cows come home because none of those things are going to happen. As far as the gays go, The Church should have the same policy as the Army...don't ask, don't tell. You mean to say you need a gay person, man or woman to TELL you their gay? I can pick 'em out in a crowd in two seconds flat. They don't even need to open up their yapper! As far as women in the church goes, I think it would be a good idea. Maybe more people would start coming back to church without wondering what's the real story with the Priest up there. Hey, The Vatican already thinks that women have a big role in the church. Nuns of course, are almost extinct, but the church needs a woman to answer the telephone! That's major progress over 2000 years! There was no SBC back in Jesus' day! People out there watching and waiting should come back home. There's nothing to see! I would spray the whole crowd with a high pressure fire hose. One thing is for sure...No matter who will become Pope, no matter how you slice it or dice it, not everyone is going to be thrilled! That's one thing you can really count on! And that's the way I see it. -------- Squealing Pig WORLDWIDE!: The DaVinci Code gets lost in translation when transferred to smoke signals!
