Soft on Muslims and poofters, tough on smokers.
Wonder how many Popes have been smokers?
The new encyclical?
There. Fixed..
Now if we could just get him interested in the genocide of Christians.

I’ll put the popcorn in the microwave.
Fr. Guido Sarducci was a chain smoker.
A lot of theme would be very incensed...
White smoke or gray smoke ?
Really? He seems just fine with sodomy.
Being awful “rigid” there aren’t you Frankie?
That will stop the persecution of Christians all over the middle east!
“Wonder how many Popes have been smokers?”

This guy never seems to waste even a second worrying about anyone’s soul. I guess he has more important things to deal with.
“Being awful “rigid” there aren’t you Frankie?”
Turgid.
I have been in the Vatican shops but never noticed that they had cigarettes for sale.
“The Holy See cannot contribute to an activity that clearly damages the health of people”
Then no more flying for you Francisco and get an electric popemobile while you are at it. You don’t want to contribute
to an activity that clearly damages the universe do you?
