An elderly frock-wearing virgin, Jorge Mario Bergoglio from Argentina, is making the news again. Jorge goes about under the stage name Pope Francis, in the guise of one of God’s vicars on Earth, reading from ancient texts written in times when no one knew what was going on. At the age of 87, most folk are slumped in an armchair, pissing their pants, being fed with food from a blender and watching This Morning (or whatever version they have in Vatican City: Questa Mattina?), but not Big Jorge. He’s been on a world tour with gigs in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Singapore, helping to spread the poison and recruit more followers to his scandal-ridden Catholic Church. On his return flight to Rome, he made an intervention over the coming US election.
Wavering voters in the all-important swing states will doubtless be thrilled to learn that Jorge urges them to vote for “the lesser evil.” He goes on:“Who is the lesser evil? That lady, or that gentleman? I don’t know. Everyone, in conscience, [has to] think and do this.” Lying, rapist, racist criminal Donald Trump or Kamala Harris whose “crime” in Jorge’s eyes is to support the choice of women to have control of their reproductive system. Well, that’s a tough choice. And helpfully, Jorge doesn’t have the first idea. A thoroughly decent black woman, a former prosecutor, a former Attorney General and Senator or Donald Trump?
I have a long-standing point of view on the right to choose. It goes like this. If you do not want an abortion and don’t believe in abortion, then don’t have one. It’s the same as so-called ‘gay marriage’ (I call it equal marriage). If you do not agree with gay marriage, then don’t marry a gay person. If you do not agree with assisted dying, then choose to live on. It’s not hard. I call it freedom. Jorge Mario Bergoglio has never had sex, presumably except for the solo variety, he has never married and by the looks of it he is going to die on the job, so to speak. Sure he has the right to speak out on whatever he likes but I have the right to suggest that this loathsome old bigot should mind his own business and concentrate on the backward religious superstition he and his pals, all men, I note, have been peddling for years.
I support those who choose to believe in their God of choice if it has no impact on my own life and by the same token I expect those people to respect the right and freedoms I cherish.
Jorge has really pissed me off this morning and if his crass intervention affects the US presidential election to the extent that Donald Trump becomes president the old boy will end up having a lot of blood on his hands.
