from the edge of the deep green sea

Take a look at this cover page from “Catholic Echo”, a magazine that probably makes more money than your average porn Costa Rican magazine:

What was your first impression? If you are like me, then chances are you thought: “JUST WHAT IN GODS NAME IS THAT THING!?!??!”:

My last post dealt with a story published by La Nación, on how much money the catholic church gets from the government. Well, a lot has happened ever since. The first event occurred when shit for brains Cartago archbishop urged all of his sheeple followers to not give any kind of support to all those that “denied god”, referring to any anyone running for office who was in favor of the separation of church and state. Yes, that is right ladies and gentlemen, these fuckheads are now telling all their stupid followers who to vote for. If that doesn’t make you angry, take a look at this picture (stolen from La Nación):

Am the only one who feels an uncontrollable urge to walk up to this clown and bitch-slap him? One of these days…POW… straight in the kisser…

Anyhow, it so happens that this dumbass ignored a detail in our constitution that mandates that no clergymen can incur in any type of political propaganda, which is exactly what this moron did. As expected, the church backs up the mistake this moron committed (what, the catholic church trying to cover something up, really?).

Not only did the priest violate an article of our Carta Magna, but he also violated one of the primordial teachings of Jesus Christ himself:

DON’T BE A FUCKING DOUCHE!

A link in Ameliarueda.com has an interview with Max Esquivel, magistrate of the TSE (The Supreme Electoral Tribune – my apologies if my translation sucks donkey balls). Basically, what the archbishop did was indeed deemed as illegal – BUT, there is no sanction against the crime. Isn’t that something? What’s the point of having something illegal if there are no repercussions against the offender?

All in all, every time I read these stories and even the sermon given by the stupid priest, I look like this:

First off, I am delighted to see the press giving attention to these details. I think the catholic church in Costa Rica perceived itself as untouchable giant due to its “sacredness”. Nonetheless, the vast array of depraved acts committed by its members has brought the giant’s credibility to the ground. The behemoth has lost support, has lost money and if you play close attention to the lies they are telling, the dirty acts upon which they are trying to stay alive, it only wreaks of two things:

Fear and Desperation.

They know that they will lose more followers if they are not the official religion in Costa Rica. Less followers = less money. Without the government sponsorship, they will also have to take care of all their expenditures, which I’m pretty sure they can handle but it will hurt them where it hurts the most: their wallets

Reading Twitter comments on this situation is mind-blowing. Lots and lots of people are happy and looking forwards to this change, and everyone frowns upon the dirty deeds the church recurs to while it tries to stay alive.

All I have to say to the church is: enjoy our money while you can, because very soon, your temples of lies, mistrust, fear, arrogance, and impertinence will crumble to the ground – just like the faith of your exploited followers – good riddance!
