Beware of glittery things, the Pope warns...

This is a good one, coming from the man who for years hid pedophile priests from prosecution.

In his homily, he urged worshippers to "see through the superficial glitter of this season and to discover behind it the child in the stable in Bethlehem".

For centuries, the Catholic church commercialized their religion. Ever been to a Cathedral? Lavish amounts of wealth have been spent in their creation, and all of them are monuments to excess. The Catholic church has holdings that numbers in the billions between property, art, and investments.

But forget all that for a moment ... just look how the man dresses.

Such lavish vestments and robes with all the trappings of some kind of supreme emperor you have my dear Pope. And the Pope worries about commercialization over the holiday? Please.

He fucking glitters. Perhaps we should do as the Pope says and ignore glittery things.

Another irony meter breaks.

Give me a break.
