Proof that the Pope Is All Law and No Gospel

This just confirms my deepest suspicions . . .

Politicians have learned that all-too important lesson not to be photographed in certain situations--like Michael Dukakis doing the head-bob with the tanker's helmet, or John Kerry in his blue sani-suit crawling through the Space Shuttle mock up.

Theologians probably ought to take note of this principle.  It may have seemed like a good idea at the time . . . but the Pope with a cop's hat?  Not a good idea.

Funnything about the hat the Pope is trying on is that it belongs to a member of the New South Wales police Service ,which for a long time was considered to be the Australian police force to have the most officers who thought they were above the law. If the hat fits......

But if he plays both good cop and bad cop, isn't that like playing law and gospel?

[James Paul]

So true, so true.
I will never be able to think of Dukakis in any other way but of the sight of him in that tank.

So what does a "gospel hat" look like? Crown of thorns maybe?

It's so creepy (fitting perhaps) that the Holy See looks like Emperor Palpatine.
