When Did Monty Python Become Cardinal?
Sure, his name's really Keith O'Brien, Cardinal of Scotland, but seriously, the message is just too familiar:
Recalling a trip to Vienna, Cardinal O'Brien, the head of the Catholic Church in Scotland, described the fears of a guide who showed him around the Austrian capital. "She said: 'You know, we are losing our Christian Catholic community. We are not having babies, but the immigrants, they love babies, love families, love family life, have many many children, and soon they will be taking over'," Cardinal O'Brien said, adding: "Basically, that reflects the views of some of our own Church leaders at this time."
"He then burst into a rendition of 'Every Sperm is Sacred', and told the parishioners not to sell their children off for medical experiments."
And yes, I realize that there's a very creepy nativist sentiment in there, which is ironic, as Catholics were once victims of nativism themselves. Still, I had to go the Python joke. It's in my geeky blood.
