From the only reliable source of Catholic news on the net, Eye of the Tiber:
At press time, Benedict still hasn’t looked back at the massive explosion.
When contacted by phone, Pope Francis said, “What a relief! I would have gone crazy if I had to read another blog article about how I was single handedly destroying Catholicism! Dealing with la Presidenta Kirchner back in Argentina will be a breeze after this!”
Winston’s? Maybe Marlboro. Camel no filter. No. For the Terminator it must be CK Chesterton’s.
Yes. Smooth and reliable. CK Chesterton’s are rich in flavor. Honest to goodness holy smokes.
For the man with integrity and principles it must be……….CK Chesterton’s.
Papa Ratzinger can keep the Chair, provided Francis is removed from St. Peter’s along with it and is replaced by Bishop Fellay, or if he is too humble, perhaps in a “compromise” that “traditional liberals” might find intriguing, allowing Marie “Bai” Macfarlane a caretaker Pope role, to work to actually attempt to heal families, address, somewhat reasonably the pastoral marriage and tribunal insanity, and to allow time for the clearly incompetant “kindergarten of Cardinals” to be replaced by a solemn group of faithful marriage defending contentious annulment respondents, to choose the next Roman Pontiff, in the sincere hope of restoring Catholicism.
Philip: You are seriously Phunny. I am hurt though by Benedict flicking a lit cigarette and blowing up Bernini. It was probably phrancis’ barrel of gasoline.
.
Karl: Yours is a very good comment. “kindergarten of Cardinals”
Yes Mary. Phrancis’ barrel of gasoline refined at one of Mr. G. Soros’ Brazilian Oil refineries. So happy we, (U.S.) could h$lp them out. Barrack is ha$$y too.
ROFLOL
Funny and sad.
If B XVI were B-17, maybe. Too bad.
When I smoked (like a chimney) it was mostly Chesterfields. By the grace of God, I was able to quit twice. The second time I was a part-time smoker, only at work, and had to go outdoors to wreck my heart and lungs.
I daily smoke a half a cigar, walking the pooch. Maybe a whole cigar on Saturday and Sunday.
From Kipling, “The Betrothed”
“And a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke.”
Nothing good ever came out of a papal resignation.

If Ya got em’ smoke em’.
I too smoked for many years. Cold turkey in 94′. So blessed to have quit.
I hope I didn’t infringe on Chesterfield’s good name. 🙂 I might need a good lawyer.
Philip: You are so blessed with a comedic talent.
Mary De Voe.
Teetering on the fine line of humor and obnoxiousness. That’s my address I’m afraid. Sorry if it’s more of the later and less of the former.
Still laughing over that image of Pope Emeritus Benedict with a cigarette butt lol
A Catholic environment exists when Gods’ laws are followed. God Bless America and her people of good will. The others ???? God Bless Pope Benedict. Pope Francis ,I leave in Mother Marys’ hands.
Please come back Pope Benedict and save the Church.
Now trying desperately not to imagine leather vestments…..
