"The pope, Archbishop of Canterbury, and US Conference of Bishops would deplore discrimination against zombies."I'm sorry, TUAD, but I think it may already be too late!
I'd think the pope would stand up against the zombies.
Of course, this is JPII.
No word on Benedict XVI's undead status . . . yet!

ReplyDeleteBut I'm not too sure whether many Catholics or even many Protestants or Orthodox will see the humor in your post . . . they'll think it was in poor taste.
Uh oh. I'd surely hate to offend someone's sensibilities regarding the pope - especially when Catholics maintain the pope is such a firm defender of the gospel, sound teacher of the Bible, and faithful shepherd of the church! Mea culpa.
On the other hand, I think a Catholic like George A. Romero might be okay with Zombie Pope.

Nothing wrong with criticizing those whom you consider hold a faulty theology--but to arrogantly mock a man who bravely stood up for the Christian faith under the Nazi regime, did his part to help Jews, was one of the primary forces in dismantling communism in Poland, and met with and forgave the man who shot him, this does no credit to you. For a moment I thought I was debating intelligent, thoughtful Christians on this website; your post proves me wrong in this regard.

1. Oh, no! But what if a man does good things yet at the same time holds to faulty beliefs? For example, Mussolini created thousands of jobs. He raised certain moral standards in Italy. He helped Italians take pride in themselves as well as in their nation as a nation. He got the trains to run on time.
2. On the one hand, you say there's nothing wrong with criticizing someone who holds to faulty theology. But on the other hand, you think it's arrogant to mock.
Of course, this assumes mocking is arrogant.
Also, this assumes criticism and mocking can't sometimes go hand-in-hand.
3. In any case, sorry for offending your sensibilities regarding JPII! As I said to TUAD, mea culpa.

Whoa.
I'm a stand-in for the entire blog now?
Also, you've debated me? This is news! In order to have a debate I would've thought there'd need to be at least two parties involved (among other things). Rather, this seems more like a one-sided, schoolmarmish chide than a debate.
But it's quite possible I'm mistaken. If so, please don't cry havoc and let slip the church lady on me!

Ahh.

So.
Yeah, you sure were right, TUAD! It looks I'll have to try and avoid future sacred cow tipping.
Now ya gets da whole blog a bad repertation. See what ya done.
Wow, I didn't know I had such an influence!
Again, I'm sorry to disappoint your immaculate expectations, TUAD.
