Vatican calls verbal attack on Pope "terrorism"
By Robin PomeroyWed May 2, 1:11 PM ET
The Vatican's official newspaper accused an Italian comedian on
Wednesday of "terrorism" for criticizing the Pope and warned his
rhetoric could fuel a return to 1970s-style political violence.
In an unusually strongly worded editorial, L'Osservatore Romano said a
presenter of a televised May Day rock concert, which is sponsored by
Italy's labor unions, had launched "vile attacks" on Pope Benedict in
front of an "excitable crowd."
"This, too, is terrorism. It's terrorism to launch attacks on the
Church," it said. "It's terrorism to stoke blind and irrational rage
against someone who always speaks in the name of love, love for life and
love for man."
At the concert, held every year in front of the Saint John in Lateran
basilica -- Rome's cathedral where Pope Benedict sits as bishop -- one
of the presenters, Andrea Rivera, spoke out against the Pontiff's stand
on a number of issues.
"The Pope says he doesn't believe in evolution. I agree, in fact the
Church has never evolved," he said.
He also criticized the Church for refusing to give a Catholic funeral to
Piergiorgio Welby, a man who campaigned for euthanasia as he lay
paralyzed with muscular dystrophy. He died in December after a doctor
agreed to unplug his respirator.
"I can't stand the fact that the Vatican refused a funeral for Welby but
that wasn't the case for (Chilean dictator Augusto) Pinochet or (Spanish
dictator Francisco) Franco," he said between musical acts at the
open-air concert.
The latest salvo between the Vatican and its critics in Italy comes a
few days after the head of Italy's bishops' conference, Archbishop
Angelo Bagnasco, received a bullet in the post after making comments
that his critics say compared homosexuality with incest and pedophilia.
The Osservatore said Rivera's monologue came amid growing
anti-clericalism in Italy which included graffiti and Internet messages
supporting the Red Brigades, the Marxist group involved in political
violence particularly in the 1970s.
"Some people have even twisted (Bagnasco's words) to start an insidious
'war', a new season of tension, which is inspiring those who are looking
for motives to return to taking up arms," the newspaper said.
Prime Minister Romano Prodi, a devout Catholic who is backing
legislation to give legal rights to unmarried couples, including
homosexuals -- a bill opposed by the Church -- called for calm.
"We have to have calm and good sense," he told reporters. "Unfortunately
the rhetoric has continuously been getting harsher over recent months.
This country doesn't need it."

Sounds a bit schizophrenic to me. "Talking against me is a criminal
act." Maybe the Church will finally learn that it no longer rules the
world.

Omigosh, Mickey! You're a terrorist!
If the Church is worried about criticism, why don't they clean up their
act first and then join the twenty first century.

Yesterday was the 35th anniversary of Moe's death, the last of the Stooges.
Larry Fine died earlier that same year (1975).

Not in the least. When you KNOW in your heart that you are doing
God's work one does not have moral qualms about the methods. If one
HAS to practice the irrationality of believing in God, the best way to
approach the world is Lincoln's attitude. Supposedly Lincoln had a
meeting with his generals to determine Civil War strategy and at the
conclusion of the meeting when they were drinking sherry one of
Lincoln's generals proposed a toast "How fortunate we are that God is
on our side." Lincoln responded by saying "I am troubled by the
question 'are we on his side?' "

Or Leo Strauss, father of that abomination: modern NeCons.
(And atheist)
(Irving Kristol, "the godfather of neoconservatism")
"Leo Strauss became a significant factor in the culture war," said
Kristol. "And neoconservatives brought Strauss in" to that war.
Kristol noted that Strauss' contribution was to help neoconservatives
to understand the importance of religion in the political life of a
nation. "Religion was not part of elite culture found at places like
Harvard," said Kristol. "It was not thought appropriate for highly
educated people to learn too much about religion." Straussians, who
were not well regarded in the academy, took religion seriously. "They
played a very important role in the culture war by keeping
neoconservative intellectuals pro-religion," says Kristol. This
pro-religion stance gave neoconservative intellectuals a way to
influence the wider American culture. Liberal and left intellectuals
who disdained religious belief were distrusted by most Americans and
this distrust helped check liberal influence and policies.
However, Kristol pointed out that Straussians were not generally
themselves committed to religion. Kristol added that Americans "don't
bother with theology. The fact is that the moral dimension of religion
is what counts for Americans."

Let us not forget Connie Cezan, during the 50's she was practically the 4th
stooge. A lovely, talented actress who had a great sense of humor and even
better comedic timing. She seems to have enjoyed the Stooges physical humor,
she certainly fit right in with them.
(Was also Perry Mason's receptionist during the early 60's.)
