My theory is that …

Pat Robertson has, since I can remember, taken pot shots at the Catholic Church everytime he has gotten a chance. And the Pope? Pat seems to think he’s some nice old crazy uncle that wears white robes like from the Protestant books, “Left Behind” series, and if anyone places himself above the Pope in this world it would be Pat Robertson. I wish I was some old nun who came up beside Pat and rapped Pat right across the fat side of his head. Maroon is right, it’s just a nicer way of saying moron.

Jimmy Swaggart comes to mind.

From the Rule of Saint Benedict, Ch. 6:

Let us do what the Prophet says:
“I said, ‘I will guard my ways,
that I may not sin with my tongue.
I have set a guard to my mouth.’
I was mute and was humbled,
and kept silence even from good things” (Ps. 38:2-3).
Here the Prophet shows
that if the spirit of silence ought to lead us at times
to refrain even from good speech,
so much the more ought the punishment for sin
make us avoid evil words.

A general vow of silence would do us all good, but a ball-gag will have to suffice for Pat.

What is the matter with the man? Every time he opens his mouth, he makes himself look stupid and uncharitable.

His disconnect with reality and charity could easily lead one to think that his TV show is some sort of parody. But not a particularly good one at that. (Though my ears perk up when I hear his name mentioned on the news…I know we’re about to be appaled and entertained.)

I commented on this here. I find it interesting that those who say the Bible gives us every rule we need in life seem to also think that they know what God is thinking.

This is what happens when you start beleiving your own cover story.
