The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

The light loafers of Prada Papa Ratzi

by: Pam Spaulding

Thu Dec 14, 2006 at 12:17:29 PM EST


Andy at Towleroad came across this hoot of a piece by Michael Joseph Gross at Out.com, When in Rome.
Gay Italians, almost to a man, talk about the pope’s red shoes when Benedict XVI comes up in conversation, which is all the time. Everyone (except for the commander) says that Papa got his shoes at Prada, and when you ask why this matters, they say it proves he’s hypocritically materialistic.

  And gay.

  This is one of Rome’s biggest surprises: the ubiquity of rumors that the holy father is one of us. Gay and straight people alike will calmly assert this as a matter of fact, with none of the wishful overconfidence or nervous doubt that dogs West Hollywood gossip about the sex lives of movie stars.

Fabio Canino, Italy’s most popular gay TV personality (a toothy, beefy Graham Norton), opened his show the day Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was chosen pope with a shot of pink smoke emerging from a chimney. “He loves shopping, and I love shopping,” Canino says with a smirk.

Casually, he adds, “Everybody knows he is gay, and his boyfriend is his private secretary.” He Googles “Georg + segretario di Papa” to show me a photo of the dashing blond Monsignor Georg Gänswein, a 50-year-old amateur pilot, tennis player, and former ski instructor, whom the Italian press has compared to George Clooney and Hugh Grant.

The article goes on with entertaining tidbits like this, practically confirming that the pedophile-enabling Prada Pope's boys are hypocritically partying like it's Fire Island inside the walls of the Vatican, laughing at all the faithful homo-haters from the safety of their sexual sandbox. More outlandish faggotry after the jump...
Pam Spaulding :: The light loafers of Prada Papa Ratzi
Fabio Canino says he received a mysterious invitation a few years ago to lunch at the Vatican with a cardinal. “I walked in,” he remembers, “and I thought the person in front of me was a drag queen, not a cardinal.” He flings his arms up in imitation and cries out, lisping, “Hel-lo, sweetie!”

  The prelate, he says, eagerly dished his Vatican colleagues, referring to one black cardinal as “Naomi” (after Naomi Campbell). As Canino tells the story, he called the cardinal a hypocrite and asked how, as a gay man, he could serve this homophobic institution. The cardinal looked at him across the lavish table where they sat and said, “I have everything here.”

According to this amusing 2005 article in The Guardian, insiders view the hunky Gänswein as not only a fashion influence on the Pope, but an ultra-conservative influence and power-mad hanger-on.
He is, like the man he serves, extremely conservative. "I think he is very dangerous," Daniel Deckers, the author of a biography of Germany's leading liberal cardinal, Karl Lehmann, said. "He's part of a small but very powerful group within the Catholic church. He will use his power to push Ratzinger in a certain direction."

Deckers recalls travelling to Rome to meet Gänswein. "He's a good guy. He's very eloquent and can be very charming. But he came right up to me and said: 'Oh, you don't like us.' He referred to himself and Ratzinger as 'us', as if the two of them were an institution."

...Gänswein's critics even accuse him of turning the Pope into a fashion victim. This summer, Ratzinger and his secretary went on holiday to the papal residence at Castel Gandolfo, near Rome, as well as to the Italian Alps at Valle D'Aosta. While both men were hiking in the hills, the Pope appeared in public wearing a Nike hat, designer Serengeti sunglasses and a Cartier watch. "This is Gänswein's style. It's his handwriting," one religious affairs writer said. "This is something I don't understand."

Papa Dresszi
Let's not forget the gold robes, the fashion hats and the rest of the Italian couture.  Miss Pope Thang is giving Carrie Bradshaw a run for best in show.

Ick
How can the handsome Monsignor possibly bang that hollow eyed corpse monger?  I guess Kissinger was right, power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

While I wouldn't expect gay men in power to necessarily go out of their way in the Vatican to change gay/Catholic relations, the least they could do is gracefully bow out of the attacks altogether, and concentrate on issues that impact everyone.

But, of course, solidarity doesn't rake in the cash like divisiveness and hatred, does it?


If I were Pope Joan...
I'd be wearing red rubber nurse clogs from Birkenstock (or white, which is more properly the papal color). All those marble floors.... Not only are the slippers without proper arch support, they are probably leather-soled and thus likely to slip.

At least B16's metatarsals are paying for this fashion monstrosity from Prada.


Oh, my...
...another German, this time from Baden-Wurttemburg (south-west Germany).

If his name was "Gansewein" ("e" between "s" and "w"), it would translate to "water".


There's no place like home....
I wonder what happens if he clicks his heels 3 times.

I'm thinkin' the Poop loves goin' shoe-shopping
with Condi whenever she comes to town. Just think how many invasions may be discussed while the two spend a joyful afternoon in Rome competing over who can balance best on a pair of six-inch spike heels?

The light loafers of Prada Papa Ratzi
This is just so damned funny.  A pope wearing red shoes is funny enough but the rest of it is icing on the prada cake.

I'm confused
You mean the guys in the outlandish hats, luxurious robes, vivid capes, and expensive jewelry might be gay?  Those same guys who are forbidden to be with a woman in an intimate relationship, like a lover or a wife?  The same ones who are constantly harping about the abomination of homosexuality?

I'm shocked.  Shocked, do you hear?  Next you'll tell me there's gambling going on at Rick's Café American...

The difference an umlaut makes.
At first I thought that this was one of those internet rumor things that eventually turns out to be false because of Monsignor Goose Wine.  It's a good thing that the "a" has an umlaut! 

My America includes LGBT families.

The Umlaut
In fact, with the Umlaut, if the "e" had been there between the "s" and the "w"(as I mentioned in my first comment) then it would translate to "water."  A literal translation would be "goose wine," but I don't know how they got "water" out of goose wine.

Sounds like a job for the Antichrist.

Water
I only know Wasser as water, is yours a regional dialect?  German is kind of amusing sometimes.  Hydrogen is "Wasserstoff", not to be confused with Sauerstoff which is oxygen.  I went to a lecture at Fermilab last month and the guy who was giving the presentation (French) said that he was glad that it was Fermi, an Italian, who discovered neutrinos because if it had been a German who knows what we would be calling them now and it probably wouldn't be pretty.  I agree!

"Wasser" is the German word for "water" but...
I was referring to the English translation, not the German word, when I used the word "water."

he is kind of dreamy, though.....

sigh

If you're not angry, you're probably not paying attention.


Oh Georg!
He is, isn't he.  I loved this picture where he appears to be playing the cup & pea game with Pappy's head.

I'm obviously not the first to notice that His Hotness bears a striking resemblance to another spiritual and temporal leader, from a long, long time ago, in a...  well, you'll get the point:

shocking!!
who'd have guessed?!

:D

Some day all the gays clergymen who make life miserable for the rest of us (re: Haggard, Pope, etc) will come to their senses..

but I don' thave a lot of hope.. they are seriously broken men.

BTW, LOVE the new site.. I've been gone a while, my site was hacked... my blog writing and reading went by the way side.  I now have an account!!  Yeah... but not sure how to post diaries :( ).

Oh, and can I say it...
but Monsignor Georg Gänswein is a hottie!

hmmm I wonder....

Bush wins Papal Vote (oldie but barely pope related goodie)
Reuters - 18 April 2005 0953 GMT

VATICAN CITY - In a turn of events that stunned Vatican
officials, U.S. President George W. Bush has been
named to succeed John Paul II as the next leader of the
Catholic Church.

For the first time in history, the College of Cardinals
employed electronic voting machines to select the next
Supreme Pontiff.  Bush won by a margin of 2,528 votes,
despite the fact that only 15 Cardinals took part in the
process.

The machines, which were last used in the 2004 Ohio
presidential election, also registered minus 27 votes for
Democratic candidate John Kerry.

"It's a miracle!" cried Kenneth Blackwell, spokesperson
for voting machine manufacturer Diebold Corporation.
"God has spoken."

Supporters of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, whom early
exit polls had leading by a comfortable margin in the
voting, demanded a recount.  But Blackwell said the
voting machines, which had been modified to emit a
plume of white smoke when a plurality was reached,
are unable to produce a paper audit trail, rendering a
recount impossible.

When informed of his victory, President Bush expressed
surprise. "I was not aware I was running for the popecy,"
he said.  "I wish people would tell me these things."

However, he added that he would be "honored and
privileged to serve as Supreme Pontoon for the rest of
my natural life, or until I die, whichever comes first."


again no surprises here
this is no surprise. gay men have been running the roman church for years.
