OZ:Vatican, A Pope Opera

Catering to truly catholic tastes
  (+8)

  [vote for,
against]

Given the publicity of the last 20 years, it's likely people would believe almost anything of the Catholic clergy nowadays.

OZ:Vatican confirms our darkest fears and suspicions about what we are sure goes on but remains hidden behind its walls, in secretive cloisters and catacombs beneath the ancient and glorious city of Rome.

Follow the saintly struggle of the principal protagonist as he seeks to undo the damage done by bloated, jaded, paedophilic clergymen without bringing down the whole organisation in a welter of shame and recrimination.

First I was looking for alternatives like Rope Opera, Dope Opera etc http://www.time.com...9171,841549,00.html
But I found this one too... [theleopard, Oct 14 2008]

OZ http://en.wikipedia...mum_Security_Prison
An excellent series screened on HBO in the US and on free-to-air in most of the rest of the world. [UnaBubba, Oct 14 2008]

       I was required to watch that godforsaken movie when I was a kid... it scarred me for life.

       //confirms our darkest fears//
Just like the DaVinci Code, but with Ian McKellen as the coloratura.
Amos Kito, Oct 14 2008
  

       If you're sure you mean coloratura... (A florid and ornamental style of singing for a soprano or mezzo-soprano) then no, not like that at all.   

       Like The Da Vinci Code but darker, grittier, seamier, nastier and sadder.

       The West Wing, with praying ?   

       "They" will never let his be filmed. "They" (The Masons/Rosicrucians/Knights Templar/Readers Digest/CIA/Men In Black (No, sorry, that's a duplicate, Readers Digest again)/Women's Institute/BBC/Odessa (No, that's Readers Digest AGAIN...)) will supress this because they don't want all their dirty little (and large) secrets being aired to the public, even in fictional form.   

       For your own safety, jst leave 'em be, so they can get on with their holy mission of fiddling with little kids and deflowering virgins (have you ever wondered why the Left Footers are so against contraception ?)

       I've been approached by the 'Masons and the Knights Templar, both offering pre-production funding. I'm not sure where the ambitions of the others you mention actually lie.
UnaBubba, Oct 14 2008
  

       Well, the BBC just want the money, the Readers Digest want your immortal Soul, the Rosicrucians want stuff for their next jumble sale (no plants or foodstuffs, please), and the Women's Institute want to cover your entire body in a mixture of icing sugar, cocoa powder and warm butter and then let you be licked to death by nymphomaniac Scandinavian au-pairs (although we might be wrong about that last one).   

       Oh, and the CIA want something they call a "Proper" president......

       Nice idea. ;)

       Brick: Throw another heretic on the barby Marlene, I'm starvin' droog!
Marlene: You drongo Brick! We're all out of heretics since Pylene moved in on Vatican St and dobbed us in!
Dooreen: Flamin' hoons!
Boreen: Strewth Dooreen, you're....oh my! Pauleen, Frauleen, Polythene, Rayleen and Chloreen have all arrived and the barby-smoke has changed colour to white!
ALL: Ooei Nooei!

       "Benedictus Benedicat, per Jesum Christum Dominum Nostrum"
UnaBubba, Oct 15 2008
  

       A cat, drunk on benedictine, that plays dominoes ?   

       You should go in out of the sun.....

       It's a grace, said before eating.
UnaBubba, Oct 15 2008
  

       You eat drunk, domino-playing cats ? Respect ....

       Fans of the West Wing call Aaron Sorkin's walk'n'talk style in the show 'pedeconferencing'. Would we see 'pedoconferencing' here?
sambwiches, Oct 15 2008
  

       I think we've all eaten a pussy or two, haven't we, [8/7]?   

       Pedoconference? That's called a synod, isn't it?

       //You eat drunk, domino-playing cats ? Respect ...// Naked Twister-plating. Much Better Game.

       Better than dogs that play poker, I suppose.
UnaBubba, Oct 15 2008
  

       Yup, it's no fun, their tails wag when they've got a good hand (paw)....

       Ya gotta laugh when they bite the one that feeds them, though.
