That is seriously the premise of McIlheran's column today. Reports McIlheran, when protesters staged a kiss-in along the papal parade route in Barcelona, they would have failed at perturbing Mr. Ratzinger, 83, as he had "endured the rise and fall of the Nazis."
Me too, whenever I hear about gay people, I automatically think of the Third Reich. I mean, who doesn't. Nazi regalia is sexy.
McIlheran was also comforted by the fact that because the kissing "tantrum was overwhelmed by reverence," fewer Spanish nationals will be tortured eternally in McIlheran's contemplated afterlife.
However McIlheran's source (a link he found on the internets) said it wasn't clear if the pope was aware of the kiss-in, as he communed with the faithful sealed in an airtight bulletproof glass box on wheels.
The Beeb takes the Popemobile for a spin: "German, of course."
Would you believe the pope had an F-150.
Fun Pontiffact: Paul VI was one of the last Italian popes, which is why there was always a soccer ball in the trunk of his Popemobile.
YOU DISGUSTING PIGS THINK YOU'LL GET A RISE OUT OF US? WELL YOU GOT ANOTHER THING COMING CAUSE WE'RE SERENE AND PEACEFUL CHRIST LOVERS AND ABOVE ALL THAT.

I bet a doughnut his F-150 has truck nuts.
