“When I squeeze his belly he says ‘Where is the motu proprio?'”
“So, Father Kung, what have you now to say regarding the power of the Papacy?”
St. Anthony comes through again! I’ve been looking for him since I was eight!
Good one, Roz.
Ah, but is it a Catholic bear?
A picture speaks a thousand words, and this picture is a wonderful metaphor for the relationship of Roman Catholicism and the Anglican Communion.
Can’t think of a caption, though frankly I’m more worried about the guy to the Pope’s left with a half-eaten pickle in his hand.
Ach du leiber! When you squeeze him, he says “Guten Tag, Heilige Vater. Save me from the Liturgical Nazis. They want to make the Mass another Romper Room.”
“Is it true that you relieve yourself in the woods?”
Today Pope Benedict XVI met with the pontiff of the “Spirit of Vatican II,” Pope Ruxpin III. Ruxpin, a female teddy bear, is a living example of the “virtues” her followers admire most: she’s cute, cuddly, and always agrees with them.
If they think we worship statues, wait until this catches on.
“Wait a minute. I don’t think this is valid matter. It’s not made of wheat.”
“I can’t believe I’m the Pope and I’m standing here holding a teddy bear.”
“You dropped your teddy bear, liebchen.”

“Ah, you vant me to bless your teddy bear? Let me see… God, whose word suffices to make all things holy, pour out your blessing on this toy; and grant that anyone who uses it with grateful heart and in keeping with your law and will, may receive from you, its Maker, health in body and protection of soul by calling on your holy name; through Christ our Lord….
“Und now, you know you cannot keep this in an ordinary toybox anymore? Yes. You must take it home in und sack-ramental.”
“Sack-ramental”, gggrrrroooaaannnn…. That’s a good one, Maureen!
“Zee vat happens ven you ignore ze pope, Mahony?”
“Ego te baptizo, in nomine….”
So, zis is das Teddy Bear dat ate haf of my pickle?
Someone who took the title “our German Shepherd” a bit too literally gave the Pope a chew toy.
“I WIN! You blinked first!”

What she left out was that this is a talking bear who responded:
“Si, Santa Papa, It is true, just as true as you are Catholic!”
It was pointed out to me that I credited the original quote to Panda Rose instead of the actual source, Matt.
I wasn’t paying close attention & let the idea that it was logically something she would of said get the better of me.
MEA CULPA!
And now young Skywalker … you will die!
So you’re the reason that crazy guy tried to jump in the Pope mobile!

Kathy, I believe that is a box holding a Rosary. The Holy Father gives Rosaries to people at the audiences.
Thanks, Puff, but it looks more like a pickle.
A zucchini, instead of a zucchetto.
Yes, I’ll give you it’s looks.
