What date was the comic?
(Because I was sent to one about being a woman.)
ETA: saw punchline, couldn't find alt text.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I was listening to BBC last night and my understanding of the Holocaust denier bishop fiasco is that there was a group of bishops who were ordained (?) without the blessing of the pope, and so they were excommunicated..
This pope is trying to bring all the-I don't know what you call them- renegade sects? back into the fold. So, he wholesale welcomed this particular group back without knowing the holocaust denier's beliefs.

You put your mouse over the comic and get a box with more text. The text today is about the inauguration, but I don't get the connection with being a woman either.

I figure the pope is being more concerned with managing Catholics than worrying about what the rest of the world is thinking.

He had to have known. My officemate, when he heard that the people from this particular group were bring brought back in, responded with, "Oh, that crazy Holocaust-denial guy is going to get in the news with this one." If random American Catholic knows, then the Pope knows.

His point is that he would have effed up giving the oath even worse than Roberts did.

Right because none of this will offend any Catholics. (JZ's eyes shoot deathrays at me for that one.)

I went to a medical office, got what I needed without problem , and the people I encountered were polite and helpful.
In my world, seeing the positive is the new black.

Oh, well, American Catholics, what do you know, with your thinking you can decide things for yourself and asking questions and all that.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I can't... I can't even engage in any of this right now. Jumping from one of the earlier links, I just found out that a priest whose works I've known of and admired for just about ever, just probably one of the best and most kind and joyful and passionate people to walk the earth, was excommunicated right before Christmas for participating in the ordination of a woman. And either the news was suppressed because my local diocese just didn't want to begin to deal with it, or it was news and I never heard about it because I was too wrapped up in petty family shit. Either way, I'm feeling slightly ill and brainlessly, heartbrokenly flailing right now.
