Red Card: BBC

For Media Bias: The BBC

So, World Youth Day, an international event, organized by the Catholic Church and presided over by the Pope, which regularly brings together millions of Catholic youth from all around the world, is almost upon us. How does the BBC chose to report the event? With the headline "Masks banned from Pope Francis's Mass in Rio de Janeiro". [1]

Facepalm

Ultimate Facepalm

To get more information on World Youth Day from the BBC, you'll have to wait until 10 or more protesters with a vaguely liberal agenda (Catholic Church discriminates against naturalists in Church perhaps) cause a fuss. Until then, take a look at http://www.rio2013.com/en

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the CDF!

Whilst whiling away Sunday evenings at the CathSoc bar at University, one our favourite games was choosing look-a-likes for our peers. Some were admittedly way off the mark but it was great fun, especially come Freshers week when Robbie Fowler (Blackfriars) and Farrokh Bulsara (Queen's) would sign up for CathSoc Football.

On a recent trip to Dublin, I met up with "Robbie Fowler", who is now a Dominican Friar and to my great amusement found that he had been joined in Holy Orders by a Dirk Kuyt who was conveniently from the Netherlands.

To continue this theme, I noted with glee that upon reading an article on the Catholic Herald Website that Archbishop Müller, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, bears a passing resemblance to John "Hannibal" Smith (George Peppard), master of disguise, from the A-Team.

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the CDF!

It is now my goal in life to find an Archbishop or Cardinal that looks like B.A. Baracus.
