The only thing that the three residents of the Dominican Rep. that post on this board probably have in common is this: we all loathe the cardinal. I have a long list of grievances against him, but since some are old I bring you the new ones in the list:
From the April 7 news:
From the April 12 news:
I am not good at this cussing thing, and the only thing that comes to my mind would get me banned if I utter them, I just have to send a healthy FUCK YOU! to our cardinal.
Hot darned! I forgot to attribute my quotes. They were taken from www.dr1.com. They archive the news every day, but I am subscribed to the archives. And no, I didn’t quote the whole thing, just a fragment of it.
And one of the shows that the “inconsequential, superficial, light, clowns, uncultured and without brains” people were going to attend was Sting at concert and a Mark Anthony concert. Not that this supports or not his accusation.
His beef is that Dominicans are not sufficiently intolerant towards homosexuals. Mind you, it is not like we are the most enlightened people, but goddammit, nothing short of torches and pitchforks would do for him.
Not really related to your rant, but the name “Nicolas Lopez Rodriguez” rings a bell and I just can’t figure out why I would be familiar with the name of a Dominican cardinal. So, I’m wondering :
Did he do something worthy of international news? Does he hold some particular office? Was he a “papabile”? Is there somebody else famous going by the same name?
Everybody who doesn’t celebrate Easter is missing their legs?
All animals are missing two legs?
People who are missing their legs live like animals?
The seat of understanding is… the legs?
Cardinal, please go a little easier on the waccy baccy, the rest of us might want some.
At the beginning I thought that the DR1 News people must have mistranslated his statement. I checked the news sources in Spanish and what he said makes almost as little sense in the originall Spanish (but it is easier to understand what he meant when you read it in Spanish).
Your Cardinal, even with his advanced and angry homophobia, is a mere piker. Here, we’ve got Father Gerald Robinson. Jury selection is currently underway for good old saintly Fr. Gerry. He stands accused of a 1980 strangling murder. And stabbing the victim at least 27 times in the neck and chest. The victim is 71 year old Sister Margaret Ann Pahl. On the day before Easter. In the sacristy of his church. Wrapped up the body in an altar cloth. Real Godly guy, the father. He’s wearing his vestments to court. What a peach.
And now convicted. The jury “deliberated” for all of four minutes. Father Robinson spoke not a single word in court - not during the trial, nor after the verdict when the judge gave him an opportunity. What a lovely, lovely man.
And there’s more. The original investigators of the case, back in 1980, are urging the County Prosecutor to investigate further. There are accusations (and indications) of a cover up perpetrated by the cops and the diocese.
