David Letterman Mocks Pope, Catholic Church

[SecularMotion]

David Letterman pulls every punch he can when it comes to President Barack Obama, but he has no qualms mocking the Pope or the Catholic Church.

On the July 23 edition of CBS’s The Late Show, Letterman brought up Pope Francis’s recent visit to Rio as part of World Youth Day.

“And I’m telling you if there’s anything the kids can’t get enough of, it’s a 76-year-old virgin. Come on! World Youth Day. Or as the Vatican calls it, salute to altar boys.”

1. Dave stills got it

Fairy tale religion is an easy target, however.

2. If the opening sentence wasn't enough of a warning signal...

...when you look under the title of the article and it says this:

July 24, 2013 by Breitbart Feed

I suggest consider long and hard if you really want to be spreading it around anywhere.

3. So what? You do realize what kind of site you are pulling this from, don't you?

I don't really get your point and since you never comment or engage in ensuing discussion, it's really hard to tell where you are coming from.

4. It's a joke from the David Letterman show

If it pissed off Breibart.com and the Catholic League, it hit the mark.

I'm not surprised you don't find it humorous.

5. Who said I didn't find it humorous?

I don't find much of what Letterman says humorous and haven't for years, but I have absolutely no objection to his making jokes about the Pope.

I do, however, object to Breitbart and to the publisher of the site that reprinted this.

If you assume that I don't find it humorous and don't find that surprising, you haven't been paying attention and only show that you know very little about me.

Anyway, thanks for replying.

6. That's a pretty mild and pretty predictable joke.

The publisher of your link on the other hand is a bona fide right wing republican gleefully stirring shit.

In 1994, he ran for Governor in the Republican primary, receiving 26% of the primary vote. He also served by appointment on Governor Edgar’s Education Transition Team and Lamar Alexander’s Education 2000 in Illinois.

For the past 25 years, Jack has been an advocate of education reform through the application of free market principles and of school choice. He lives in Barrington, Illinois with his wife Jeannine. His sport is sailing; he has won the Chicago to Mackinac race among many others.
