The Pope and the Archbishop enter the Knickerless Cage
Last week was not a very good week for two of the world’s major religions, what with a troublesome priest shot down in Moscow and a coke & crotch sniffing rabbi standing trial in Britain.
So, there was not much reason to hope that this following bit of news would give the world anything more to sheer about:
“The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Pope agreed to seek closer relations between Anglicans and Catholics at a meeting in Rome, the Vatican has said.”
On the other hand, our Archbish of Cant is known to be in favour of Sharia law and we all know what the Pope thinks about the position of women, so it may be that these two old men have more in common than you might expect.
So, when the Pope will visit England next year, perhaps we will see both prelates, arm in arm, talking about those good old days when the whole of womanhood could be qualified as cage girls…
… and they might even find time for a bonding field trip to a certain Somerset village, where they would, no doubt, give their communal blessings to one of the candidates for this year’s Turnip Prize – and no, I don’t mean the ‘Wallace and Vomit’ exhibit:
Entries have been invited for this year’s Turnip Prize for bad art. The award, an alternative to the Turner Prize, is presented by the residents of a Somerset village. In what the organisers have described as “an insignificant development” pieces entitled Wallace and Vomit and Knickerless cage have been submitted. The Knickerless cage shows a collection of naked Barbie dolls encaged in wire mesh.”
(I prefer the original but I bet the Pope and the Bish liked neither…)
