I love being told what to do by 95 year old virgins…

This is a great little article written about an ancient celibate academic and his views on the dangers of pleasure…

There’s some particularly stand out quotes in there:

“(in men) the urge for food was only surpassed by the urge for sex.”

What’s wrong with that? Speaking for myslf, if I’m not thinking about fucking, I’m generally thinking about sandwiches-it’s been much the same since puberty and I’m fairly certain it’s not jeopardised my immortal soul that much.

It’s when you get them all mixed up and end up eating prostitutes and fucking a dead pig in a cabin in the woods that the trouble starts…

“Msgr Giertych said the most difficult sin for men to face was lust, followed by gluttony, sloth, anger, pride, envy and greed For women, the most dangerous sins were pride, envy, anger, lust, and sloth, he added.”


A fairly comprehensive list, but no mention there of Dopey, Bashful, Sneezy or Doc which are my main ones.


The church as updated their list of sins (which must be a great job):
“These included: genetic modification, experiments on the person, environmental pollution, taking or selling illegal drugs, social injustice, causing poverty and financial greed.”


Which in my opinion is a bit fucking rich, considering that the Catholic Church has historically been responsible for most instances of the last three on the list over the past 2000 years. It’s also clear that the last 2 Popes were ripped off their tits pretty much all the time as well.

Anyway, they are at least leading by example:

“Pope Benedict, who reportedly confesses his sins once a week, last year issued his own voice of disquiet on the subject.”

One has to wonder why he does this? According to Wikipedia his only interests (other than persecuting homosexuals and discouraging contraception in the third world) are pianos and cats, which doesn’t leave a lot of scope for conventional sin.

What does he do that he needs to confess once a week? He’s 81 years old for fucks sake-even if he wanted to there’s not much he could do. Perhaps he lusts after rich tea biscuits?
