The Face of the 2nd Amendment

[Sava]

It's Friday. You drinking tonight Oerdin?

[Dinner]

I'm still at work.

[Sava]

Is that a no?

[Dr Strangelove]

Would you like for me to drink with you Sava?

What exactly 'sort' of Catholic am I, Imran?

Oh my. How to ask a question you certainly don't want the answers to.

I think it would be hilarious if the church got to choose which one of us to ditch. I'm sure the church would do what it usually has done. They would keep me because I have more money to give to them.

Harsh, Dude, harsh.

I'm sure that would go over well with Francis.

I personally know one Catholic priest (not bishop) who would not hesitate to punch you in the face if he read your thoughts on social justice.

Catholics are real big on that. Maybe it's not the right faith for you.

The exception proving the rule.

As a rising talent within the Roman Catholic church, Archbishop Paul Marcinkus was once tipped as a future cardinal, but his links to two international banking scandals with mafia imputations and the violent deaths of two participants banished that notion. With his death, at the age of 84, his exact role in the affairs may never be known.
Despite world headlines that followed him for years, Marcinkus spent his last days peacefully, playing golf at an Arizona retirement home. He never spoke about the Vatican's tumultuous period after the collapse of the Banco Ambrosiano in 1982, or of his indictment as an "accessory to fraudulent bankruptcy". Nor would he discuss his associations with shadowy men in Italian finance, including Michele Sindona, a convicted swindler who died in a Milan prison in 1986 after drinking coffee poisoned with cyanide.

Officially, from 1971 to 1989, Mar- cinkus headed the quaintly named Institute for Religious Works, in reality the Vatican's bank, which managed the Holy See's financial investments and oversees funds entrusted to it by religious orders and individuals. At the time of the scandal, the institute owned about 1.5% of Banco Ambrosiano, then Italy's largest private investment house with close ties to the Holy See. Its chairman, Roberto Calvi, was friendly with Marcinkus, whose financial position put him near the top of Rome's elite.

What would Jesus say ? Probably :

Then said Iesus vnto his disciples, Uerely I say vnto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdome of heauen.

Sounds a bit commie or at least commie-symp, that Jesus.

[Dr Strangelove]

Gosh yes. Did you know that Karl Marx was a Lutheran?
Now we have Prarie Home Companion.

Sounds a bit commie or at least commie-symp, that Jesus.

The rich man is inclined to trust himself and not God.

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is suicide. The good guy gets shot and killed. Oh and 2 cops dead too.
