the four major networks in chicago (abc, cbs, nbc, & wgn) are ALL covering the "installation" of the new chicago archbishop! live! for three hours???

religious broadcasting??? wtf???

"Blase Cupich became the archbishop of Chicago on Tuesday when Francis Cardinal George handed him a bishop's staff and relinquished the chair that symbolizes the leadership of the Chicago archdiocese.

"During the Mass at Holy Name Cathedral the transfer of power will be completed as Cardinal Francis George, who is battling cancer, steps aside. George has been the spiritual leader of more than 2 million Catholics at the nation's third-largest diocese since 1997

1. Turn off the propaganda

The elites are trying to tell you that this is important.

It is not.

2. meanwhile. .......

Kim is secretly dating Justin and Shecky the Cat. No news is good news or news at all here in the Neo Dark Age

3. that's kinda my attitude

i hardly watch tv anymore

i turn on the big bang theory & parenthood on thursday nites

i watch big bang theory dvds, boston legal dvds, & a few others. that's about it. so i turn on the fucking tv & get a catholic mass, hymns, etc. (no offense catholics--and i'm certainly not blaming joe catholic for what the fucking networks are doing)

4. I know. It sucks,

doesn't it?

I have DISH, and out of spite I think I'll watch the Turner Has Removed CNN channel.

5. But, but, these are HOLY men who are far, far better than you and I!

Nevermind the homophobia, misogyny, and occasional child rape amongst these RCC poobahs.

6. I believe Chicago is heavily catholic

TV would show grass grow if it could bring in eyeballs to sell reverse home mortgages to.

You're not forced to watch it.
Then write a letter expressing your disapproval.

13. I don;t know, but I loved finding a cat ON a lounge chair!

10. I expect it to be on EWTN, and maybe brief segments on CNN

but beyond that, I don't know why they would cover the entire thing.

I can only speculate that this is because he is to be Archbishop of a major city, and such a person is often placed on the shortlist to become Cardinal or Pope down the road.
