I realize the Vatican and the Catholics in general and religion in general are known for hypocrisy, but here is a beautiful example. Please read the following three paragraphs from msnbc:
Immigrants must follow local laws, including bans on veils covering the face, a Vatican cardinal said Tuesday, referring to debates in Europe about Muslim women and integration.
Immigrants from other religions “must respect the traditions, the symbols, the culture, the religion of the countries they go to,” said Italian prelate Renato Martino, who heads the Vatican’s office on issues about migrants, itinerant workers and refugees.
“This seems to me to be elementary,” Martino told a news conference.
Ok, now please the following paragraphs from the SAME article:
Martino also pushed the Vatican’s campaign for Christians’ right to worship around the world. Referring to the non-Christian homelands of some immigrants in Europe, the cardinal said: “Their countries of origin don’t have the same freedom and do not make it easy for migrants, laborers, who come from Christian countries to profess their faith.”
The pope lately has lobbied for the right of Christians to worship openly in countries like Saudi Arabia, which forbid that.

Thats sort of like big bosses having a meeting to discuss the problems of the little folk (or lower level employees as they call them) and then making every person that might have a clue about the problems of the LLE's feel like a fucking idiot if they say one word in the meeting.
Or maybe its nothing like that and I just wanted a chance to bitch about that damn meeting some more.
I still cant figure out what I am supposed to be getting out of the damn picture of the pizza.
