Out-landish speculation by gays about the Pope

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Pope Benedict has denounced gay marriage and is said to favor banishing gay seminarians from the priesthood. But none of that has stopped gay Italians from speculating that His Holiness is one of them.

On the day Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was voted Pope, Rome's popular gay TV host Fabio Canino opened his show with a shot of pink smoke wafting from a chimney at the Vatican.

Canino points to the pontiff's fondness for shopping and red Prada shoes as evidence that Benedict is a kindred spirit.

Catholic League president William Donohue finds the suggestion absurd.

"So the Pope is gay because he got his shoes at Prada and likes to shop," Donohue tells us. "Yup, that seals it. But does this mean that if we find out that Rosie [O'Donnell] gets her shoes at ­Buster Brown and loathes shopping, that she's really a closet breeder?"

Canino also asserts on Out.com, "Everybody knows he is gay, and his boyfriend is his private secretary, [Monsignor Georg Gänswein]."

Gänswein is a handsome, blond, 50-year-old amateur ­pilot, ­tennis player and former ski instructor. The Italian Web site Gay.it calls Gänswein "the new sex symbol of the Vatican City … It's no surprise that [Ratzinger] has decided to bring with him this young and fascinating collaborator."

i dont pay enough attention to the pope to have the slightest idea if he's gay but ROFL at saying he's gay because he wears red prada shoes

ETA: the hottie holding the mic is the supposed BF mentioned.

Sorry, but when I think a billion people worldwide know who you are, you qualify as a celebrity.

Yeah, but whenever people make a post about G W Bush people say "ITZ POLITIX NOT CELEBRITIZZ!!!!111"

I think when the pope stars in a movie or releases an album, then I can consider him as an actual celebrity and not just a religious icon.

Well, he does look a little gay in that picture, so I can understand where they're coming from.

[info]marauderthesn 22nd-Dec-2006 05:18 pm (UTC)
That reminds me of this joke I heard once. A drag queen walks into a Catholic church as the priest is walking down the aisle swinging the incense holder. The drag queen says to the priest, "Oh honey, I love your dress, but your purse is on fire."

Told to me by an ex-nun who taught at a Catholic school.

Although, if I saw some guy walking around in red Prada shoes, I'd call homo too.

idk, but the guy on the Pope's right looks a tad bit like Daniel Craig. Just a little.

Now I'm having hot thoughts about Daniel Craig dressed as a priest. A hot, repressed priest.
