Seriously though, the word of God on Earth met with Fidel Castro briefly on Wednesday. Castro showed up in a Reebok track suit and a scarf. That’s a man with some swagger. Then, to further prove his domination over the young, spry, head of the Catholic Church, Castro asks Benedict “What does a Pope do?”
Not to be outdone, Pope Benedict blamed the ills of the world on the absence of God in much of society to that old fogey leader of a nation full of blasphemers. Then, he asked Castro to use his influence to consider making Good Friday a national holiday. I mean, they recognized Christmas 14 years ago. It’s about time to celebrate the death of a Jew.
Reportedly, after this exchange, Castro lit a cigar with a hundred dollar bill, high-fived the Holy See, laughed about everything their generation had done to ruin the world, and the fact that they were still relevant in society.
