   “Your Holiness, would you like that black five piece vestment set for your birthday?
   I can get it for you early so that you can wear it for the Good Friday Mass of the pre-sanctified, only IF you keep the ’62 conversion prayers intact.”

   Recalling the picture with the balloon sculpture on the Crescat’s sidebar, and connecting it to the circus entry as suggested, above:

   “FINALLY… someone to smite.”

   The pointing Monsignor is saying:

   See where I’m pointing, your Holiness? That’s how they attach someone to the stake for a good burning session. The flames are already lit. When will you be ready to start up the real Holy Inquisition once again?

   Cheers!

    “See, your Holiness, it’s like I told you! The Papal Pizzamaker is out of control!”
    “*sigh* Why on earth couldn’t it have been the bratwurst instead?”

    Sure doesn’t look like Brian’s is going to be topped, but might as well keep throwing fun stuff out. 8^)

    Holy Father,

    Aren’t you glad that you sent Piero packing when you did? He wanted to invite this circus to your upcoming Washington Mass, along with Fr. Bozo the Clown from youtube fame as one of your main concelebrants.

    “East is…ummm…East is…ahhh…East is that way…we’re pretty sure…it’s been so long since we’ve faced that way…but let’s double-check…we’ll ask the Byzantines…”

    (Naturally, His Holiness knew all the time…he was just checking on the others.)

    Two things Holy Father, First the bishops of England and Wales have fully implemented Summorum Pontificium, and now if you look over there you’ll see a flock of pigs just skirting the dome of St. Peters

    Now lets watch the tape again in slow motion. Look, Holy Father, right there, right there! That\’s where Archbishop Marini tries to sneak off with the ring!

    You mean someone was thinking of making the Swiss Guard do that?
27. Ian says:

    I don’t know which is more entertaining, the expression on the Holy Father’s Face or that of Cardinal Bertone.

    My contribution: “Fr. Johann Schmitz takes the Holy Father and some Curia members on a tour of the new Lager Cellars installed at Castel Gondolfo.”

    First Suggestion:

    “Prancing Protestants, Popeman! This could only be the work of that feind of feinds, The Freemason!”

    “To ze Popemobile, Boy Vunder!”

    [Cue 60's Batman Music and spinning Tiara/Crossed Keys motif, as above]

    Second Suggestion:

    “Donnervetter!! You say Marini vanted me to do ZAT?!. Dank Gott ve fired him…now, vhy don’t ve make him parish priest in Riyadh, und see how he dances around ze flying stones!”
33. David2 says:

    Third Suggestion:

    “Herr Gott! Ze tings ve see ven ve don’t have an Inquisition!”

    “See, Holy Father, it is proven! The Madascar termite does indeed eat marble!”

    (It might help to remember that the Madascar termite is doing a high-speed number on New Orleans buildings and trees, crunching away almost fast enough to watch the destruction happen.)

    (The anti-spam word got truncated, does that fool the spambots better?)
