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

Bob Dylan is a real mensch.

After telling The Community Organizer From The High Yellow Lagoon to suck it, ol' Bobby Z did the same to the cretinous Swedes of the Nobel Committee.


The saga of Bob Dylan and the Nobel Prize continues.

Mr. Dylan became the first musician to win the Nobel Prize in Literature this month, setting off a debate about whether song lyrics had the same artistic value as novels and poetry. But no one knows how Mr. Dylan feels about the honor. He has made no public statements, and a brief reference added to his website (“Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature”) was quickly removed after the news media caught wind of it.

Mr. Dylan’s ambivalence to one of the world’s most prestigious honors, and the uncertainty about whether he will accept it, appears to have begun to wear on the Swedish Academy, which awards the prize. On Saturday, an academy member called Mr. Dylan “impolite and arrogant.”

“One can say that it is impolite and arrogant,” the member, Per Wastberg, a writer, told the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter, according to a translation by The Associated Press. “He is who he is.”
After Mr. Dylan’s 2016 Nobel Prize was announced, Sara Danius, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, said she did not know if Mr. Dylan would attend the award ceremony in December because she had not been able to get in touch with him. Mr. Wastberg told the newspaper that the committee would not try to contact him again.

“We have agreed not to lift a finger. The ball lies entirely on his half,” he said. “You can speculate as much as you want but we don’t.”

“The Swedish Academy has never held a view on a prizewinner’s decision in this context, neither will it now, regardless of the decision reached,” the statement said. “A member of the academy, Per Wastberg, has publicly expressed his disappointment at Bob Dylan’s omitted response. This is Mr. Wastberg’s private opinion and is not to be taken as the official standpoint of the Swedish Academy.”

Mr. Wastberg’s criticisms, however, were met with amusement — some of it bitter. Some cheered the spectacle of a musical icon thumbing his nose at the Nobel Prize, while others seemed to share Mr. Wastberg’s frustration with a musician known for his aloofness. Mr. Dylan rarely gives interviews or interacts with audiences at concerts.

“Nobel’s fan crush on Dylan seems to be turning sour,” the novelist Hari Kunzru posted on Twitter. “Soon they’ll be stalking him and send weird stuff in the mail.”

James Wolcott, a columnist for Vanity Fair, noted that Mr. Dylan’s lack of response was not the same as actively turning down the prize as some laureates, like Jean Paul Sartre, have done. Mr. Wolcott said it was a mistake to celebrate the musician’s reticence.

“‘That’s just Dylan being Dylan.’ You could substitute any egotist’s name in that formulation,” he said on Twitter. “Trump being Trump. Kanye being Kanye.”

When the award was announced, some in the literary world criticized the decision to give it to one of the 20th century’s most well-known musicians. Those early murmurs of dissent have only grown amid Mr. Dylan’s apparent indifference to an honor that can transform the career of a lesser-known writer.

“Bob Dylan now has a chance to do something truly great for literature: reject the Nobel Prize for Literature,” the poet Amy King wrote on PEN America’s website after the organization asked writers and publishers to respond to the award. “Great literature is not easily consumed like pop songs that rhyme.”

The fascist and sodomite left has always thought they owned Mr. Dylan. God bless Bob Dylan! May he always confound the comfortable non-thinkers!

The War Against the One, True Church continues apace.

The proud pervert just won Round One in the courts. No surprise there. When was the last time you saw or heard of a judge who wasn't a left-fascist death-worshipper?

Lesbian sues NJ Catholic high school for firing - Crux

HACKENSACK, N.J. - A woman is suing a Roman Catholic school in New Jersey, alleging the school violated the state’s discrimination law when she was fired because she’s married to a woman.
The suit alleges that Paramus Catholic High School; its president, James P. Vail; and the Archdiocese of Newark, led by Archbishop John Myers, violated anti-discrimination laws and intentionally inflicted emotional distress.

An attorney for Paramus Catholic High School said on Friday they plan to ask a judge to dismiss Kate Drumgoole’s suit.

In court papers, the lawyer argues Drumgoogle was dismissed for failing to abide by the tenets of the faith when she entered into a same-sex marriage, and not because of her sexual orientation.
Attorney Christopher Westrick also argues that the defendants’ conduct is protected under the First Amendment, which guarantees the free exercise of religion and freedom from government entanglement within religion.

Drumgoole was not dismissed for being a lesbian, the filing asserts, but “for violating the Ministerial Policies and the Code of Ethics - in failing to abide by the tenets of the Roman Catholic faith, i.e. by entering into a same sex marriage.”

Drumgoogle told The Record newspaper she was fired as dean of guidance and head coach of the basketball team in January after administrators learned she was married to a woman..

Hmmm...I wonder why she didn't tell them. Could it be she new it was against the rules? Or was her conscience bothering her? No, it couldn't be that. Sodomy is a good thing...at least that is what our moral and intellectual superiors scream at us from behind their guns.

Drumgoogle says other faculty members remain employed even though they don’t abide by the church’s tenets, including several faculty who are divorced, at least one who has a child out of wedlock, various employees who  cohabitate with members of the opposite sex, at least one other teacher who is gay, and another teacher whose nude photographs have been circulated online.
A graduate of the school herself, Drumgoole told The Record she was “proud to be a part of such a diverse school community that exposed students to so much, and I also felt it was an honor to serve my alma mater.”

According to New Ways Ministry, a pro-LGBT advocacy group, more than 50 gays and lesbians have either been fired or had employment offers rescinded at Catholic institutions in America since 2010. In most cases, the cause for termination was not sexual orientation, but the fact that the person had entered into a same-sex marriage.

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.
