The Vatican is suing thangs
    #16517387 -

They didn't appreciate this, apparently




Pope Benedict has asked a law firm to take action against Titanic magazine, which used the cover to introduce a story on the "Vatileaks" scandal. The cover picture features the Pope with a crotch-height yellow stain on his white hassock accompanied by the headline "Hallelujah in the Vatican: the leak has been found".
The back of the magazine features a picture of the Pope taken from the rear with a brown stain along with a headline "Another Leak Found."
Matthias Kopp, spokesman for the German Bishop's Conference, told the magazine Spiegel that the Vatican had hired a Bonn law firm to take action in the name of the Pope, adding that the Titanic cover "oversteps every level of decency".
A Hamburg court has already banned the publishers of the magazine from further sales of the Pope edition and has forbidden the company on penalty of a fine from using the images of the apparently soiled pontiff on the internet.
Leo Fischer, Titanic's editor, described the court ruling a "huge mistake"

That's pretty fucked.  Who cares if it goes beyond decency, unless of course they are publishing it somewhere that doesn't have freedom of speech.

If that NAZI didn't rape children maybe people wouldn't tease him so much.
