34:63 presents “Different but the same.”

The idea that I posited in my last post – namely that Plonkers swift reaction to the death of the pope was best understood when viewed though the prism of self interest in this ceaseless and hyper-critical world of social media – was only half of the intended post. As I wrote then, I was eager to get back to an enjoyable daydream, so really wasn’t keen to spend too long looking at a computer  screen.

The rest concerned my idea that they were both firm believers in trans ideology.

That isn’t to write that the catholic church has rethought some of its less than liberal policies and attitudes, any more than Plonker has retreated from some of his party’s more ‘progressive’ positions, but more that both are firmly of the view that simply by saying something, then that something – no matter how blatantly absurd it is – becomes true.

The showstopper part of a catholic mass is the communion ceremony, whereby thanks to the ringing of some bells, holding up some chalices up and saying a few words, some wafer biscuits and some really awful wine became the body and blood of christ. This is know as transubstantiation.

And don’t go thinking that this was is all some clever allegory or metaphor that depends on someones faith to make it real, or else a practice commonplace in 14th Century Europe, but exists now only in history books. It isn’t, it was and still is. The congregation then form an orderly queue to eat the body of christ and drink his blood as if they were pious cannibals or vampires. Really, I’m not making this up. (Click on this if you don’t believe me – its a handy guide to who says and does what at a catholic mass – and scroll down to ‘Consecration”)

Exactly how is this any different from a man claiming he’s a woman simply by saying so and pitting on a bad wig and expecting everyone else to affirm his delusion? What is the difference between burning women at the stake for being ‘witches’ and the modern day notion of cancellation, aside from 500 years and death, obviously? A fanatical mob demanding strict adherence to its own rigid beliefs has the same effect on society, irrespective of when that is or what those beliefs are.
