We have to laugh at ourselves once in a while. Right?
I really enjoy these guys over at Lutheran Satire. They present a refreshing view.

“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Very good (until remembering the very scary reality of it all of course). The best bit is PF on the sofa at the end (post credits).
I agree that the last part is the funniest and scariest. I was just thinking about how tomorrow is St. Charles Borromeo’s commemoration, and I wonder what he would think of today’s Papacy. I often wonder if Luther regretted what he started at the end of his life.
In any case, I love Lutheran satire.
“We’ll call you cannibals, and then get mad you won’t commune us.”
Classic!
Puts the 16th century fragmentation of Christianity into perspective. Also puts the 2016 fragmentation of Christianity into perspective.
The sad part of Pope Francis is that he’s made it very difficult to evangelize people like those on Lutheran Satire who would be an excellent catch.
OTOH, if the successor to Pope Francis is able to quickly clean up the mess left by this Pope and restore the Church to tradition (which is certainly possible because IMO most bishops have been made hungry for clarity, certainty, and strength against the hostile culture), we may yet be able draw them in.
:)
Sorry, I’m crying too much to appreciate (black) humor that just proves how desperate our situation is.
May God intervene soon and may He forgive us for the mess we have made of things, for the treachery that cost Him so much during His Passion and Death, and which has plunged souls into moral and spiritual confusion.
“Ecclesiastical Brexit” Ha!
Hmm I sort of feel bad for Luther. Oh well, at least we finally got a clear explanation of Pope Francis’ beliefs. No footnotes or wink wink nudges.
Meanwhile the Eastern Orthodox seem to be very much discreetly ignored at best and lumped with us “papists” at worst. I wonder which breach will be repaired first, the Great Schism or the Shattered Apostasy.
I love Lutheran Satire, I hope Pastor Feine swims the Tiber and soon.
I always look forward to Lutheran Satire. Ever since that St. Patrick video, my 11yr old daughter and I mimic the twins’ cheeky humor and accent while calling everyone Patrick. It drives my son nuts. I can’t wait to show my kids this one, it is a great opening for a little history lesson mixed with a bit of catechesis.
@anilwang.
I reflect on my fortune to have been catechized under John Paul II, and then later under Benedict. Had I tarried would I be in or out? All the more reason not to tarry and get in the boat. :)
