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

Responding to my repost of Madame Butterfly's story of anti-Catholic hatred in England and my subsequent comments,

I thought there might be some consternation at Becket's choice! The word 'fittingly' seems extraordinary, though I wouldn't quite go as far as you have.

Marty, baby. That's why I'm here. To boldly go where the milquetoast among us won't.

The worst choice for me was the Ripper, as we don't know who he (or she, or they) was, how many he killed (the usual guess is 5, very convincing arguments have been made for 3 and none at all for that matter, I don't have any idea where that 200 figure came from and it's way off the scale of academic guesses) or, most obviously, whether he was actually British (a number of leading suspects weren't). I can't think someone that ambiguous should be included.

Jack The Ripper has always had better PR people.

About Me

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.
