Wot - no Miley Cyrus?
How is Father George (Pope Francis) Time's Person of the Year instead of Miley Cyrus?
I mean, here is this bloke who just happens to have decided to bring the entire billion Catholics in the world into the 21st century, while returning to the teachings of Jesus - what's that against someone who masturbated on primetime TV?
I hate Pope Francis.
For the past 30-odd years, I've been attacking the Roman Catholic Church as a misogynist, homophobic, elitist bunch of self-serving wankers. Frankie wants to put an end to that, and doesn't even use servants or a chauffer!
Being a Jesuit, I can't imagine this Pope changing his attitude, so we can expect to see a whole new church arising from the ashes he creates as traditionalists (read: the misogynist, homophobic brigade) explode in a puff of their own righteousness. Imagine a church that exists solely to do good works, help the poor and oppressed, and does not judge!
If Frankie manages to do that to the RCC, how the hell are atheists supposed to attack it? Believing in silly fairy tales is hardly attack-worthy on its own, and it's the only thing we'll have left.
A great pick by Time!
