It seems Pope Francis needs to brush up on his Tertullian!

It has been reported (in The ChristLast Media, I must note) that the current Pope does not like the phrase "lead us not into temptation...

"Let no freedom be allowed to novelty, because it is not fitting that any addition should be made to antiquity. Let not the clear faith and belief of our forefathers be fouled by any muddy admixture." -- Pope Sixtus III

The death of Art and the growth of government go hand in hand.

Remember the lamebrained "Fear No Art" bumpersticker? Here's a story from Not So Merry Old England filled with ignorance and a fat check for a hack artiste on the dole.

Oh, yeah. And a steaming pile of fascism.

From The Telegraph (via WND):

A council was accused of squandering public money yesterday after installing a television set at a library and calling it a "work of art" instead of spending the £50,500 it cost on new books.

The TV rotates on a pole hanging from the ceiling while displaying a tape loop of images of a globe.

Hampshire county council described it as a "sculpture". Library users labelled it as "utterly pointless" and said it has not worked since shortly after it was installed.

The Geostationary Plasma Screen is the work of the artist Stephen Pippin, once shortlisted for the Turner Prize, who insisted that visitors to Gosport Library enjoyed looking at it.

Only if it is on a porn channel. (There's a nauseating idea for you. British porn.)

Brian Beel, 73, a regular library user, said the screen was "neither functional, essential or educational".

Silly peasant. Libraries have not been intended to educate for decades. Now shut up and do what your moral and intellectual superiors tell you (as Natural Selection decrees).

A council spokesman defended the project but admitted it had suffered from technical problems and was not working.

First of all, the word is SEX, not GENDER. If you are ever tempted to use the word GENDER, don't. The word is SEX! SEX! SEX! SEX! For example: "My sex is male." is correct. "My gender is male." means nothing. Look it up. What kind of sick neo-Puritan nonsense is this? Idiot left-fascists, get your blood-soaked paws off the English language. Hence I am choosing "male" under protest.
