Thou That Killest the Prophets

Thirty-five writers with variations of the Abrahamic delusion have urged the sixteenth Daddy Goodspeak to be on his best behaviour when he visits Jerusalem next week. The writers are concerned that the Pope is sending "divided messages" on anti-semitism. Since the messages include support for the Holocaust denier Richard Williamson, reinstatement of the Tridentine Mass and the proposed canonisation of the Venerable Pius the Unmartyred, it may be difficult for some to see where the divisions lie. Even a Catholic nun has observed that, as a former Grand Inquisitor whose organisation had a long and doubtless forgiving relationship with Williamson's splinter group, the Pope's claim of ignorance was "a bit disingenuous". She suggests that he go as a "penitent pilgrim", as one would expect from the heir of Alexander VI, Leo X, Urban VIII and the aforementioned Pius. While in the holy city, the sixteenth Daddy Goodspeak will meet with Jewish religious leaders and war criminals, as well as Mahmoud Abbas and some suitably tame existential threats; doubtless he will lend the weight of his moral authority to the UN's demands that Israel account for some of the non-routine crimes committed during the late rampage in Gaza.
