Hi everyone,

So the Pope - you know, that guy who once supported Hitler and now supports stiff penalties for safe sex , lives in the Vatican and wears a funny hat - has insitituted SEVEN NEW SINS.

Good for him. I mean, if I had all his money, hidden treasures and all that yummy wine lurking in the cellars, I could lay up all day and think up dumb crap to toss at the increasingly bewildered, starving masses too!

But before I get too hot under the collar, let's look at those new, improved sins, shall we?

1. “Bioethical” violations such as birth control
2. “Morally dubious” experiments such as stem cell research
3. Drug abuse
4. Polluting the environment
5. Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor
6. Excessive wealth
7. Creating poverty  

Birth control is a bioethical violation? Stem cell research - our ONLY hope for cures for everything from spinal deformities to AIDS - is morally dubious?

I see he has polluting the environment. What powers that gnome-mobile he gets around in? Is it electric? Propelled by bioethically correct mice? I'm just askin'...

Hmmm...how about excessive wealth? Shouldn't the churches tell their huddled energy-defficient masses to forget about tithing and feed their large families instead? Aren't they doing their part to create poverty?

I'm gonna commit an eighth deadly sin and ignore that cat in the hat. I write GAY EROTICA, Your Popeness. Can I send you a PDF download??? You might actually enjoy it,

Aloha oe,

A.J.
