N.Y. YAHOOS: Let’s Make Fun Of The Pope’s Death

Nyp As you may know, there’s a free paper in New York called the New York Press that has run a list of the 52 "funniest" things about John Paul II’s eventual death.

I’ve been asked to comment about this but other than saying that I’m sickened by the very idea, I have been hampered by the fact that I can’t read the list. The web page containing it has unfortunately (fortunately) been Drugealanched and may have even been taken down.

HOWEVER, HERE’S SOME COMMENTARY YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK OUT.

PRE-PUBLICATION UPDATE: A kindly reader (cowboy hat tip to him) sent THIS LINK, which appears to be the original article in an un-lanched form. WARNING! Highly offensive from the get-go! (#47 is mild compared to some, including #52).

Author: Jimmy Akin

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

  1. See, what I find strangely comforting in looking over this vomitous piece of writing is the fact that apparently whoever wrote it feels their own worldview so threatened by JPII (and Christianity in general) that they took the time to shriek about it in the form of this inane schoolboy diatribe.
    These are not happy people. I don’t see masses of people reading this and saying to themselves, “Gee, these guys seem pretty together.”.
    If I may be so blunt, this is a fart in a hurricane, and JPII is the hurricane.

  2. The scribe of this bit of trash will answer to The Big Guy sooner or later.
    ‘thann

  4. I was thinkin’ the same thing, Jeff. I’ve never before actually nodded my head in agreement in response to a statement from Hilary Clinton.

  5. I couldn’t get past the second ‘fact’ without tears falling and feeling sick to the pit of my stomach… that article is deplorable and I wish I was much holier than I am, because what i’m feeling for the perpetrator of that repugnant garbage, is far from holy.
    😥
    God Bless.

  6. The KKK claims to be against “[K-word for Jews], [C-word for blacks, spelled with a K], and Katholics.” I think this type of hateful tripe would find a very welcome and sympathetic audience at any Klan rally.
    Problem is, the poor fool probably has no idea the depths of the bigotry he has sunk to.
    Pray for his conversion, because the path he is on now is not going to lead him anywhere nice.

  7. This “writer” is a showcase in secular, scum-of-the-eart lunacy. However, and I may be petty for noticing this, the comments lined up against this guy all come from liberals, including Hillary v. 1.02. Part of the re-imaging process perhaps?

  9. I’m not even going to go to the link in question
    Lets just say, I know the depth an width certain assholes of this world can reach
    The bottomline is, this pathetic waste of skin will eventually have to answer for what he did
