Just when I was absolutely sure that I had heard every bizarre story that could possibly emanate from the Vatican, the Catholic hierarchy blows my mind again. The latest antic that arguably may validate the alleged escalation of the ludicrous conduct of the kingpin of the catholic church, Mr. Ratzinger, aka- Pope Benedict- has surfaced. The Pope, who has actually been accused several times of shuffling and covering up for clergy molesters and rapists himself, is commissioning a new perfume scent; while tens of thousands of rape victims in his molestation inundated empire are suffering globally from the life long after-effects of the criminal conduct of thousands of his "employees."

Although I have given up looking for a rational explanation of why the countless atrocities against innocent children by professed catholic "men of god" have occurred for centuries, I was still under the impression that justice will eventually find it's way to the forefront, and bombard the mammoth molestation empire as a result of an atomic explosion of deserved Karma.

Instead, I was flabbergasted yet again with information that seems as though it was invented to replace taking hallucinatory drugs; recent news that negatively alters my hopes that possibly the Roman Catholic Church may recover and improve it's perception of spiritual reality- as opposed to eccentricity.

Silvana Casoli, famous Italian perfumer, has been commissioned by the ostentatious octogenarian leader of the untouchable antiquated Patriarchy; to aid the Pompous Papa to flaunt his own scent.

Yes, you read that correctly. The Monarch of the Molestation Machine wants people to pay to smell him; or smell like him.

Although this newly proposed "pope-puree" may prove popular with a certain cliche of trend- setting wannabees, I can't wholly see how the Holy See can justify investing well meant donations by his faithful flock into his desire to keep up with the Kardasians, Brittany Spears, and other celebrity entrepreneurs.

As a catholic clergy abuse victim myself, my nightmares were reinstated last evening when invasive thoughts inspired by the new catholic cologne ping-ponged through my skull like PTSD perfumania.

How could Ratzinger sidestep his responsibility to the global mass of sex abuse survivors, and indulge himself in his own scent? The pursuit of perfume as a priority, overshadowing his duty for accountability is shocking, but not surprising. The popes new scents, makes no sense.

What is the Pope going to do, spray thousands of gallons of his scent upon starving nations to end world hunger? Give a bottle of his fatherly fragrance to thousands of sex abuse victims to cure depression, anxiety, and trauma disorders? Use the piety perfume to settle billions of dollars of impending lawsuits?

The thought has occurred to me that perhaps the instigator of this peculiar brainstorm was the result of decades of unconscionable behavior, combined with the Pontiffs flare for fashion; his pink satin robes, diamond spangled golden tiara, and of course those rosy Prada shoes. But sidestepping the overwhelming crisis in the catholic church for his insatiable urge for setting precedent for being the most gratuitous icon of egotistical Vatican self-indulgence is virtual acknowledgment of religious delusion.

Maybe the fumes released by the the toxic priceless ancient oil paintings surrounding him in his palace have accumulated to the point of poisoning the pope into a state of delirium, and has triggered an obsession for a less noxious odor; unfortunately his own scent may be just as vile.

In any case, perhaps after the newly Pungent Pontiff invests in perfume, he may as well dip into more Vatican reserves and establish his own reality show. My suggestion would be " Celebant Clergy Cash Cows", or maybe "Blind Billionaires Behaving Badly".
