Don't Fuck With The Bishop before/after I have had the Catholic church on the brain for a few days now, and I'm not really sure why. Perhaps its the raw power, or the way they've bent the spine of Western Civilization like a cheap paperback novel. Maybe its just the thought of having to answer to a bishop in the middle ages. Indeed. Don't fuck with the Bishop. Boiling oil, the Iron Maiden, the Rack, these things all awaited you should you have the temerity to stand and proclaim the nudity of the emperor. Meanwhile, more naked evil passed through at the top of the Church loosely disguised as the Pope than most metropolitan areas see in a week. Not in sheer numbers, no. But in terms of power, gleaming sick evil, its tough to match that level of hypocrisy. Its a far, far different thing when joe blow knocks over a liquor store, than when the head of a major societal institution dedicated to goodness has your neighbor killed. Some of those degenerate bastards probably sported horns. Some took to pedophilia. Some just had mistresses. Some murdered, or had murder done. Some raped and stole. Popes. And in the middle ages, you didn't ask questions, and they got to keep all the money. Accumulated interest. Hmm. There is a psychic debt I feel is owed on a titanic level, that I fear may never be paid. Buyer beware. After awhile, sometimes a sham goes on for so long, sometimes people think its the victim's fault. Education is the victor, for the victor, a doorway past the blinders of hopeless faith in archaic institutions. Meawhile, one could be laboring in the fields, and be summonsed to appear before the Bishop. The Inquisition is in town, and they covet your women. Corruption was rampant and the Pope was a monster in white clothes. The answered to no one. Indeed, questions were seldom asked. And this degenerate tendency has continued unto modern day. Priests raping children, and the Church not feeling the slightest bit culpable. Perhaps, and this is only a hope, perhaps the Right to Life people will start paying more attention to their children and their religion, rather than other people they don't know. Horrible object lessons sometimes are hard to absorb. While you were out protesting, your children were being watched by a lecherous priest. Someone should make the Bishop answer to the layity. It will never happen. An Inquisition of the Church is long overdue. My stance on the Christ is irrelevant. Something tells me He'd be all for it, whether he was bona-fide Son of God or not. And we'd be praying the refrain, don't fuck with the plumber, the carpenter, the layman. Which, in these institutions built to serve that somehow control us, is really how it should be. But no, don't fuck with the Bishop. You will be lucky if you come back with a severe limp, if you come back at all.
