The Italian Orthodox Church* sent a representative to the gathering of Catholic cardinals held yesterday in the Vatican City.
Which was undeniably kind of them.
Representative Bishop Ralph Napierski smiled for photographers whilst meeting and greeting more than 140 cardinals from around the world for a much needed discussion on future challenges to be met by the church and who will be nominated for prom queen papal candidacy. It was at this stage that the Swiss Guards on duty stopped Bishop Ralph Napierski before entering the Paul VI Hall, where the official meeting was being held. After letting Napierski through several checkpoints, it would appear that the came time to reflect and certain ‘red flags’ began to present:
Shaking hands with Cardinal Sergio Sebiastiana, an Italian who is president emeritus of the Prefecture for Economic Affairs of the Holy See and member of the Sovereign Hospitaller Order of the Knights of
Malta.
Yes. Possibly it was the fedora that the esteemed Bishop was rocking that began to tip them off, and perhaps Napierski was not on the guest list after all. Ultimately, it must have been the delightful purple pashmina and black sneaks that, whilst being fabulous and practical, respectively, were not able to meet the, arguably overstrict, Vatican dress code standards.
It turns out Bishop Ralph Napierski is a self-appointed bishop (why the hell not?) who fronts
his self-created order (why the hell not?), the Corpus Dei and as we are told on the official wordpress site: “Bishop Ralph Napierski comes out of a tribe of the Roman Catholic Church that is fighting the Heresy and false movements inside the Roman Catholic Church.”
Before being escorted from amongst the conclave of cardinals he did get a chance to tell reporters that Catholic bishops had “made a mistake by moving
priests” who were accused of pedophilia around different parishes.
The man; the legend.
In the ‘ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONS’ section on site, you will find additional informations on Napierski, his inventions and standing patents: “He did reasearch in the field of consciousness. He did invent a system to enable persons to control computers with the Power of thoughts.”
Which obviously sounds great and put us down for 10.
VOTE 1 NAPIERSKI 4 POPE!
