Nun too pleased

Two days ago, we told you about a beauty pageant for nuns. Today, we bring you the sad news that that pageant will never happen.

Father Antonio Rungi said the pageant was nixed after it drew criticism from his superiors in the Church. Rungi said the whole idea was misunderstood. He did not want to have nuns compete to see who was the most beautiful, it was to show how much nuns do for the world.

Honestly, how can anyone misinterpret a pageant for anything BUT showing off how truly great of a person someone is? After all, that is exactly what most pageants are about.

Aw, hot dude! Did you catch that side rosary?

Given that three of the guys have had some amount of formal Catholic education (only two of us passing), we here at SeriouslyGuys consider ourselves seriously informed on all things Catholic, or anything religious  for that matter. That’s why we applaud you, Rev. Antonio Rungi.

Rungi, an Italian priest, is running the Miss Sister 2008 pageant. It is an online beauty pageant showcasing the true beauty of some of the Brides of Christ. We here at SG are personally excited about seeing a nun with a ruler, and it being hot for the first time in our lives.

It’s getting hot in here, so take off all your robes.

What is the pope thinking?

Apparently, Pope Benedict XVI has left Washington, because he was spotted in Australia for a massive Roman Catholic festival called “World Youth Day.” However, it is not the fact that anyone celebrates kids that is shocking, it is the pope’s actions, which had little to do with the youth of the world.

Hold on to your butts: Pope Benedict met with a koala. Not much is known about what the pope and the beast talked about, perhaps the Holy Father is trying to enter peace talks circumventing the traditional authorities, or perhaps he was trying to broker a cease fire. Nevertheless, the pope’s actions are bordering on treason in the War on Animals. This is just the latest attempt of Big Religion to get involved in the ongoing strife.

Fun fact: The pope sends texts messages like a middle school girl, albeit a very devout one.

Pilgrims also received a second mobile phone text message from Benedict: “The Holy Spirit gave the Apostles and gives u the power boldly 2 proclaim that Christ is risen! – BXVI.”

The Catholic Church locked in battle with zombies

Anyone who has ever been to Toledo, Spain knows that the city is littered with zombies, or as the locals call them “el zombieos.”

But after all this time, only now has the Catholic Church caught up on this danger to humanity. A parade featuring zombies, ghosts and other scary creatures has been deemed a blaspheme. The world media would have you believe that it was just some local actors parading down the street to mock the local celebration of Corpus Christi, a Catholic holiday, but we know better.

Sure, Reuters. Sure, it was just some actors dressed up and bent on offending the Church. That makes far more sense than the fact that it was a bold statement of power on the zombies’ part and only the pulpit sees fit to fight it, as it has so many other evils. Open your eyes!

Bush steps up relationship with Pope, hopes to reach first base

Speaking of Catholics who aren’t allowed to drive anymore, Pope Benedict Roman Numeral will be picked up from the airport by President George Bush.  Unlike Mel, the Pope isn’t allowed to drive because he’s old.

The press is stunned by this unprecedented favor by a President, but The Guys aren’t surprised at all.  By picking up the Pope from the airport, the President will have someone to help him move in January.
