It is a sad day, indeed, when it takes a statement from the Islamist President of Turkey to prod the Pope into a wishy-washy denunciation of the Olympic blasphemy.
Pope Francis finally issued a statement about the Olympics blasphemy, if only to salvage some semblance of moral credibility that he may still have in the eyes of some. Here it is. Notice that there is not one mention of the offense and insult offered to Our Lord Jesus Christ, nor is there any mention about the inherent evils of homosexuality, transgenderism and other perversions. There is only some blather about "sensibilities" of religious people.
Also, notice that it came eight days after the fact. It seems that Francis had to be cajoled into issuing the statement by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Erdogan is Muslim. That is to say, a Muslim displayed more zeal for the honor of Jesus Christ than did the Vicar of Christ. Such is the disgraceful state of affairs in the Vatican today. How can that be?
The answer to that last question really isn't so mysterious, considering events of this past weekend in Washington DC. Recall how Francis enthused over the Georgetown gab-fest. Oh, he issued his congratulations to Fr. Martin with all kinds of alacrity, didn't her? Perversion was celebrated at the Georgetown orgy that Francis congratulated. Now can we see why Francis would be reluctant to speak against that Olympics debacle?
We congratulate the prelates who issued their own open letter regarding the slap in the face to Our Lord. I understand that more of them are joining them with their signatures; may that list of signers grow long.
We also thank Turkish President Erdogan for lighting that fire under the papal posterior to get him to speak (albeit weakly) like a Catholic - for a change.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
