Have you found yourself leafing through the Catechism of the Catholic Church
and finding that you just don’t accept all of it? Have documents from the Vatican
angered you in their pig-headed determination not to believe what you believe?
Do you just know that you are right and that two thousands years of teaching
and tradition are just plain wrong?
Did Dr. Ludwig Ott’s "Fundamentals
of Catholic Dogma" just make you break out
in an allergic rash?
Does appealing to the sensus fidelium to defend your beliefs just not seem
that fulfilling anymore?
Have you wished the Church would just get with the program and drop all of
that out-of-date doctrine that just doesn’t match modern day sensibilities?
If you answered yes to one or all of these questions then congratulations
your Holiness, do we have the product for you. Since you know that you are
infallible on faith and morals why not get all the other benefits that go with
it? There may be a lack of vocations to the priesthood, but no shortage
the Papacy. So get in line now.
Introducing Pope-In-A-Bag©, all you need
to fulfil your plan for yourself. With Pope-In-A-Bag© you
get these great components.

I’m gonna order some right away! Not for me, for friends =)…
Better catch that than/then error, or Nihil Obstat will getcha good.
My passport photo on a holy card. That thought alone just knocks all the enthusiasm out of me. And to think I was ready to place an order…
I dunno if our sort can buy them, Ellyn. Jeff didn’t say. :o( I think I’ll just content myself with the ‘Pope doll’ now on sale at the Franciscan U bookstore – thing looks much more like Pope Joan than Pope John Paul II. I won’t even begin to describe the Jesus doll. :o)
I will have to stop reading your site at work if you are going to be this funny! I couldn’t stop myself from laughing out loud.
Excellent work, well done.
Heh heh! Maybe we should send one o’ these to “Pope Michael I,” now gloriusly reigning in Kansas… ::rolls eyes:: He actually showed up on the Trad forum a few weeks ago, and we had some fun trying to get him to justify himself. As Isabel said, “I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Can I do both?”
Especially like the Papal Stratolounger. It sounds so comfy! Does it come with iron-on Baroque decorations? 😉
Loved the papal smoke generator. I don’t want to be pope but I’d like that item anyway!
