I wish I had never heard of this site. I feel dumber simply for knowing of its existance.

Actually, I think there's a lot of truth in that statement.

What, you turn Phelps upside down, legs up, and step on his crotch 12 times? No shortage of volunteers, I'm sure.

Violence is bad, mmmm'kay?
Just don't start the fight. If he raises a fist, (which apparently he has done at least once given he has an Assault and Battery charge) than defending is certainly okay. I wouldn't hold it against anyone if they wanted to give him a kick or two while he was down though.

But there is something more than just choosing a spiritual leader for the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics weighing on the cardinals today: Gay bathhouses.
News broke on Tuesday that the Holy See had purchased a $30 million dollar share of Rome real estate that includes Europe’s largest gay sauna, making them its official landlord.
As reported by The Independent:
The senior Vatican figure sweating the most due to the unlikely proximity of the gay Europa Multiclub is probably Cardinal Ivan Dias, the head of the Congregation for Evangelisation of Peoples, who is due to participate in tomorrow’s election at the Sistine Chapel.
This 76-year-old “prince of the church” enjoys a 12-room apartment on the first-floor of the imposing palazzo, at 2 Via Carducci, just yards from the ground floor entrance to the steamy flesh pot. There are 18 other Vatican apartments in the block, many of which house priests….
Cardinal Dias, who is seen as a social conservative even by the current standards of the church hierarchy, is no doubt horrified to learn of the activities taking place a floor below.
The Europe Multi Club appears game to engage with their neighbors at the Holy See, or at least content to mess with them. The club hosts a weekly “bear night,” featuring “Bruno, a hairy, overweight pastor of souls” who, dressed in Catholic vestments (naturally), is “free to the music of his clergyman, remaining in a thong, because he wants to expose body and soul,” according to The Independent. Bear night also features a buffet, because exposing one’s body and soul works up an appetite.
This isn’t the Church’s only financial holding in the sins of the flesh, either. As reported by The New Civil Rights Movement, they also own a $2.3 billion Germany publisher that sells titles like “Fuckable” and ”Lawyer’s Whore.”
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Okay, that's pretty damned funny. (The "sweating" metaphor is an extra-nice touch in context.) Still, in light of the magic of mutual funds, who knows what dubious enterprises you, I, or other fellow posters might be part-owners in?

HA! I've been tracking that thing for months! Now I've got a confession from someone!
Well I hope this goes well and doesn't lead to violence.

Well it doesn't this century...
It isn't currently. But you and my 70-year-old self will have words, make no mistake.

Aaaaaanyways, what's up with the Anglicans? Haven't heard much from them.

Shima, I had to give a MoFW for joining in a derail while simultaneously killing it.

I would imagine that's because it's not that controversial a sect (aside from its knowingly hiring an openly gay bishop that one time).

The Anglicans are currently having a very polite schism. Women bishops. Celibate gay bishops. Establishment. The seams are there, and they are weakening.

Not often that someone manages to sum up a whole denomination in less than a dozen words.
