A Roman Catholic bishop here has excommunicated members of a communal sect whose leader allegedly claims to be a manifestation of the late Pope John Paul II.

The bishop also alleged that another sect leader, Gladys Miranda, claims she is the Virgin Mary, and that followers of the group make it hard for parishioners to receive communion by lying face-down in the aisle.

People seem to get upset when someone else's silly beliefs tread on their own silly beliefs.

"Get off the floor and stop being silly, there is no such thing as reincarnation. It's a fairy tale....Now eat this magic cracker."

That's Transub-something or another. WAY more logical than Reinca-something or another. Stop poking fun at others beliefs.

C'mon! Simulated cannibalism-deiphagia is good for you! Wait, let's dunk you in this water and THEN see how you feel... there...ready to drink some blood?
 
If you don't slaughter a bull and bathe in its blood as part of the ceremony, it's just plain silly. Let's return to the good old-fashioned sensible religions like Mithraism. At least after the services you got a good meal. I was raised Catholic, and let me just say that the blood of Jesus is distinctly non-vintage, and his body tastes like paper and seems custom-designed to stick to any dental retainers or braces you might have. I can't count how many times I had to scrape the Savior off my braces with a toothpick.

I used to get the body of our Lord stuck to the roof of my mouth. It took ages to scrape him off again.

I actually found Jesus to be quite tasty. I would love to buy a pack of wafers and eat them while watching CSI.

Ever see The Pope Must Die(or for us USAians "The Pope Must Diet")? There's a scene where Robbie Coltrane (of Hagrid fame), the newly elected pope, runs back to his chambers and wolfs down handfuls of the Eucharist.
 
One weird thing about the pope-imposter story is that the guy claiming to be channeling (or whatever) JP II says that Benedict XVI is the Antichrist. No explanation is offered for why, in the earlier incarnation, he appointed the Antichrist to positions of such responsibility and relied on Ratzinger as his closest theological adviser.
