Entry: The Broken Compass Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_broken_compass#11504 Post contents: Ah, just taking a break from reading the Syllabus of Errors, here.. Feel I have to ask the question everybody is just burning to ask, but haven't the cojones to.. WWPNND? That's "What Would Pio Nono Do? Now that the deistic secularists have taken over the hierarchy? I mean, those dem'd masons, Screwing up the mass wasn't enough? Turning it into a happy clappy consciousness raising session, with the spirits of '68 and '76 dripping off the architecture and from the music like protoplasm off the Ghostbusters? (Now that was a good movie! I especially love the bit where they all get possessed and worship the demon Hal.. Good stuff!) And that ignoring that epidemic of homosexual statutory rape and pedophilia that's been engulfing the Church these last forty to fifty years? That wasn't sufficient? What's the USCCB endorsing stupid flim flam movie agitprop for atheism after all that? I mean, really? It's just them rubbing it in, that's what. You know, like la dee dah, who believes in this carp anymore? God, dog, carp, crap.. yada yada. nada nada. Or maybe a few of them actually do believe and are plumping for anti christ. Who knows. All I can say is that Pullman apparently depicts God a doddering old fool, who expires while getting up, while the Magisterium is all ruthless danger. I suspect he has it exactly backward. Poor, poor Phil. Si triste. Tant pis. Sent at: 2008 10 13
