 Cardinal Error: Pope’s Aide Not Sorry (Yet) for ‘Third World’ SlightPosted on Sep 16, 2010
Things got off to a not-so-cracking start for Pope Benedict XVI’s U.K. tour after a member of his entourage, one Cardinal Walter Kasper, compared Britain to a “Third World country” just hours before Team Vatican prepared for arrival Thursday. —KA

I would remind the cardinal that Jesus, his so-called savior, looked like a “thrid world person.”
Of course Jesus’ ethnic looks are not accurately portreyed in most paintings, where he is commonly depicted as Robert Redford with long golden hair and beard.

Walter Kasper smiles smugly like the proverbial Cheshire Cat (I mean to insult to the noble cat species), whilst personally reaping the benefits of 2,000 years of tax free accumulated wealth that the Corporation called the Holy (Unholy?) Catholic Church has amassed.
No doubt he smiles smugly, safe in the knowledge that his “God” is on his side, and cursed unto Eternity those who he and his unholy brethren cannot batten and feed upon.
I feel safe knowing that his God is surely in his (or her) rightful place (up there), and that the Devil does exist, and stalks this Earth (down here)!

Consider the Cardinal’s gout.
Don’t you wonder what that’s all about.
He can sit but can’t walk
and must zip up his talk
for the Brits do not like speaking out
nor his comments on English sociey
with its, colorful racial variety
from burkas to knickers
even saris and slickers
the result of their Third World moieties.
So he stays in his room out of sight
Report thisto decide if he might not or might
say he’s sorry he offended
if his comment open-ended
was taken amiss, not aright.
