OT: Papal definitions?

Terry Pinnell · Apr 29, 2005

I wonder if the new Pope has changed his mind in 9 years about the
meaning of AC/DC?

Speaking yesterday [1996] at a Mass marking the feast of St Cecilia,
the patron saint of music, Cardinal Ratzinger agreed that there were
many good things in modern pop music, but added that there was also a
great deal that "endangers the human soul". He urged heavy metal bands
in particular to "purify themselves".

Vatican officials identified some of the "worst offenders" as Alice
Cooper, Black Sabbath and AC/DC, whose initials they claimed referred
not to alternating current or even bisexuality, but to the satanic
phrase "Anti-Christ, Death to Christ".

Let them continue to become more and more ludicrous. They will destroy
themselves and their doctrines that condemn people to unnecessary
suffering (AIDS, too many sickly, starving children).

Martin Luther was doing that 500yrs ago and it hasn't changed them, though
they lost half of their flock. BTW the more suffering, pain and fear, the
better is/was the situation of the churches.
And finally Alice Cooper shares his pedophil passion with a lot of Catholic
priests, doesn't he?

I don't know anything about Alice Cooper (and I probably don't want to),
but paedophilia is often the consequence of enforced chastity. Of
course, in bygone days, the chastity was purely nominal, but it may be
less easy for priests to find acquiescent women now that they realise
that such a relationship is going nowhere.

You wouldn't know Alice Cooper if he were (out-of-costume) standing
right in front of you. (Although he's probably one of the ugliest
people I've ever known

I've known Furnier since he was child hanging around his parent's shop
in Scottsdale.

Where did you come up with the hare-brained "pedophil" (sic)?

Comaring Alice Cooper with Catholic Priests is giving the rock star a
bad name.

The new pope probably prefers The Scorpions.

Now that is more than a little ofer the top. Alice is actually a pretty
regular guy. About as close to a Rotarian as you can get. A 4 handicap
golfer and active in Pheonix comunity and religious affairs.

An anagram of Pope Benedict the Sixteenth reads like one of the bedtime
stories I used to tell the kids:

The Bo Peep is extinct. The end.

Perhaps Stanley Unwin would have referred to his Holiness as 'the Bo Peep'?

I'm shocked, John. Making a statement without factual backup :-(

I didn't realise that he is a friend of yours. I suppose you have all
his records. Do you often eat at his restaurant?

I was criticizing more for the statement that Alice is a pedophile,
than the spelling.

I thought so; he was recently in a UK TV commercial, which didn't gel
with the allegation at all!

It's actually a pretty shitty thing to say about someone without any
supporting evidence.

I only knew him close-up while he was still in his early twenties,
because I lived in Scottsdale and shopped 5th Avenue a lot, where his
parents had a shop.

I don't care for his music, nor eat in his restaurant, but he IS a
very visible public figure in this town... quite the charitable
philanthropist, but just Joe Ordinary Family Man when he's out of
costume.

Yes; I looked at all three pages of the web site. Don't judge by

Underneath the make-up, most of "those people" are surprisingly mundane.

A 4 handicapper? That is positively *evil*! Only Republicans play that
well.
