Cocky Pope-Hopeful Ready To Make Some Changes Around The Vatican

GET THE STORY.

From The Onion.

(Cowboy hat tip to the reader who pointed this out.)

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. Streamline the stations from 14 to 10. Too funny! Reminds me of my favourite Onion article … Mother Theresa Mistakenly Sent to Hell in Bureaucratic Mixup. My favourite line from that article went something like … “The angel responsible is still employed in the same position.”

  2. The absolute best Onion piece was the one about the judge ordering the break-up of God’s monopoly on Divine Power.
    The one where Jesus converts to Islam was pretty good too.

  4. Is this article for real? I pray not. If it is, this Cardinal has a substantial bit of arrogance he is carrying around and I shudder to think of what would happen to the faithful if he were elected Pope and carried out any of the changes mentioned in this article. Holy Spirit save us and your Church……

  5. Whit,
    The Onion is a satirical spoof newspaper. None of the articles in it are for real; they’re all jokes, like the articles in Mad magazine.
