There’s still a few Catholics out there who think the Earth is the center of the Universe.

It’s been four centuries since the Catholic church persecuted Galileo for his theory that the Earth revolved around the Sun only to later admit that the evidence backed him up. Heliocentrism is the official stance of the Church today.

But there’s a group of Catholics out there that still think Galileo was wrong and the . . . → Read More: There’s still a few Catholics out there who think the Earth is the center of the Universe.

Michael Voris explains why America needs a Christian Dictator.

Who the hell is Michael Voris you ask? He’s the head of St. Michael’s Media which is based in Ferndale, Michigan which makes him a local nutcase for me. He’s a devout Catholic who got all riled up about The Da Vinci Code so he set about establishing a production studio to broadcast The Truth . . . → Read More: Michael Voris explains why America needs a Christian Dictator.

Pope blames atheists for environmental destruction.

Gotta love the Pope. If ever there was a perfect example of religious hubris and hypocrisy at its finest then the Pope is it. The fact that he can claim to be a font of morality after the travesty of justice that was the pedophile priest scandal shows that it’s not just the evangelicals that . . . → Read More: Pope blames atheists for environmental destruction.

But the Pope is so… mockable!

Apparently some Catholic bishops aren’t happy that some of us like to mock the Pope and they think we should stop:

[...] “We will not accept that the pope, in the . . . → Read More: But the Pope is so… mockable!

Pope declares Holy War against false visions of Jesus and his mom.

OK all you fakers and posers out there who are always claiming to see the Virgin Mary in your scrambled eggs or Jesus in your baby’s soiled diapers, you’re officially on alert! The Pope has had enough of this nonsense and he’s laying the smack down:

Catholic Bishop says too much education is a bad thing.

People are so much easier to control when they’re dumb and illiterate. The heyday of the Catholic church, after all, was the middle ages. While still more influential and powerful than they probably should be, the Catholic church has had a harder time of it lately and it’s all the fault of those educated parishioners:

SEB Mailbag: Try taking on the Catholics for a change redux.

I didn’t mention it previously, but I did dash off a reply to Mr. William Michael’s email which I posted earlier. Here’s what I said:

William,

That’s some impressively tortured logic you’ve got going there. Doesn’t tend to lend well to your claim that you can answer any argument I might be able to put . . . → Read More: SEB Mailbag: Try taking on the Catholics for a change redux.

SEB Mailbag: Try taking on the Catholics for a change.

Got the following email just a few moments ago:

From: Classical Liberal Arts Academy () Subject: Come into the Big Pond

If you were truly an atheist, wouldn’t you also not concern yourself with politics, holidays, marriage, etc..?  All of these things imply that there is an end to human life higher than survival.  Wouldn’t . . . → Read More: SEB Mailbag: Try taking on the Catholics for a change.

Catholic Archdiocese thinks they have a monopoly on talking with Jesus’ mom.

Apparently the Baltimore Archbishop is afraid of some competition in the speaking for imaginary friends arena:

HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP)—The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Baltimore has told a Pennsylvania woman to stop disseminating messages that she claims she receives from the Virgin Mary.   The warning in a pastoral advisory from Archbishop Edwin O’Brien marks an . . . → Read More: Catholic Archdiocese thinks they have a monopoly on talking with Jesus’ mom.
