I know I shouldn't, but...

By now, I think we've all heard of that poor Priest who disappeared down in Brazil due to those balloons. God be with him, for sure.
But the comic in me just couldn't help but wonder...

SSPX ain't jumping on board yet...

Rorate-Caeli has a post on the SSPX's recent letter stating that an agreement won't be forthcoming with Rome. This cartoon shows their perspective, which I can appreciate, but if they'd just get on, it would help kick the hippies off the bus.

Tradition is making a comeback, and the hippies are on the run. Whatever one wants to argue about their "status", it would be a big help if they were on the bus with the rest of us.

Hop on over to Rorate-Caeli for more:

Pelosi meets the Pope ( ! )

I haven't been able to keep up with everything going on this week, but A Thorn In The Pew has, and she expresses amazement that Pelosi, of all people, met the Pope this week. That's about as odd as David Duke meeting Louis Farrakhan.

Dissenting Geek at it again...

Catholic World News points to an article in the USA Today about Pope Benedict, and naturally they (USA Today) have to make sure they put some dissenting views in about the Pope, so who do they call? None other than Fr. Thomas Reese, noted dissenter and boo-hoo boy for all things Liberal. I came up with this "advertisement", since it seems there's no shortage of dissenters out there ready to rain on any Catholic parade that goes by.

Read the article here:

The Pope heads to the USA!

While most of the crowds will be ridiculously happy, I'm sure the MSM will find a couple of discontented former hippies to interview.
