An Italian comedian by the name of Andrea Rivera recently had a few things to say about Pope Benedict XVI as well as the Catholic church and the Pope is not too happy about. In fact, he considers the remarks to be acts of “terrorism”:

“It is terrorism to launch attacks against the church,” the newspaper said in a back-page article May 2, the day after one of the performers at Rome’s annual May Day concert criticized the church in comments broadcast on state-run television.
“It is vile and terroristic to throw stones against the pope,” the newspaper said.

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. People may not get all that they pay for in this world, but they certainly pay for all that they get." ~ Frederick Douglas
