When in Rome, do not insult the whore of Babylon

[Billybob Sunday]

An Italian comedienne faces prosecution for insulting the Pope, an offence that carries a prison sentence of up to five years.

Sabina Guzzanti, noted for her sharp satirical wit and lampoons of the powerful, is accused of "offending the honour of the sacred and inviolable person" of Pope Benedict XVI at a rally in Rome in July at which opposition leaders accused Silvio Berlusconi, the Prime Minister and media tycoon, of passing ad personam laws to protect his own interests and avoid prosecution for alleged corruption.

That Cattylick Mary-Worshipping buggery-supporting Pope needs a good whalloping. "Sacred" indeed. We shall see what the LORD says about that on Judgment Day.

Thank Jesus for the Godly U.S. of A. and our constitutional rights. That kind of nonsense would never happen here.

Just so Brother Nobar – anyone in the USA can say anything about the pope. Of course, no-one would ever begrudge President Bush protection from liars and slanderers!
