In a show
of unabashed liberalism
yesterday the Pope tweeted
a prayer request
"for the victims
of the ferry disaster
in Korea and their families"
to his three-and-a-half
million followers
meaning that what is supposed
to be an empty gesture
that does nothing
may instead
through the instant virality
of the interwebs
have an impact
on the situation at hand.
And today
on this holiest of days
he tweeted
"Christ is risen! Alleluia!"
which is simply unacceptable
because anyone
who uses two exclamation points
is probably a heretic
meaning someone
who takes time off
from fearing God
in order to showily
"love" Him.
(And where has love
ever gotten us?)
