Yesterday, I posted a satirical post about the Pope.  I was happy with it.  I thought it was pretty silly.  I was especially pleased when I called him “Benedict the Cumberbatch.”  Comedy genius, I tell ya!

I knew that it might upset a few Catholics if they read it and that was totally OK.  That’s what happens when you write a blog post that is critical of the Papacy – even if it is primarily written as a joke.  If someone doesn’t like the joke, the intent is not relevant.

Well, a friend of mine shared the post and then a friend of hers got pretty upset about it and we had a conversation.  He kept saying he didn’t want to have a conversation but he actions suggested otherwise.  I guess he was obsessed with someone being wrong on the internet.  I get that.  I’ve been there.

No sarcasm. I’ve been this guy. Thanks, XKCD!
