Dead People Are Dead – The Mary MacKillop Saga

[SOURCE]

Australia has its first saint

So the first line reads in the Australian.  Pope benndydick has decided that after reviewing all evidence for greatness Mary Fucking MacKillop can be called a saint.

Tim Fisher, wetting his pants with excitement, said that this is great news for all Australians.  Hey, you other Australians, get that, this is great news for you.  I’m not sure how or why, but Tim says it is, and he should know because he was almost prime minister once.

Kevin Rudd said MacKillop’s hard work in education and the Catholic Church had finally been rewarded.

Rewarded?  How is this a reward for a dead nun?  Will it some how make her being dead better?  Will she now come back to life to claim her reward?  Will she suddenly arise from the grave and smile upon us?  I don’t think so.  If you subscribe to the catholic rot of heaven, does it mean that she will now be given a more white halo?  Will god suddenly want to give her the ability to have multiple orgasms with jesus?  Just what does this reward do for her?

And what’s all this crap about Mary Fucking MacKillop curing people?

MacKillop’s second miracle, helping an Australian woman recover from an inoperable cancer, was acknowledged recently. She passed the first stage to sainthood when she was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1995 with her first miracle of curing a woman with terminal leukaemia.

Get off the grass.  My understanding is that dead people don’t talk.  I also understand that there are more people who are dead than alive, so that’s a lot of people that have been and are no longer with us.  As far as I know, not one of them has ever spoken or acted in any way since dying.  Despite all of this, the catholic church continues to say that dead people cure live people from all sorts of things, and the rest of us are just expected to go along with that concept.  It raises a few questions:

  1. Of all the people you think of, dead or alive, how do you attribute the cure to Mary Fucking MacKillop and not, say Aunty Betty?
  2. What evidence is required to show that Mary Fucking MacKillop intervened?
  3. Why is Mary Fucking MacKillop so selective and only cured two people?

This isn’t the middle ages.  We should not accept this twaddle as anything great.  The woman is dead, dead people are dead, they don’t do anything.  The faith of an ancient church should be laughed at and mocked.  We don’t need to call her a saint, we don’t need to pretend she’s still ‘active’.  If Mary Fucking MacKillop was truly as great as we are lead to believe, then say so and acknowledge her as a great Australian.  The fact that she was caught up in a political game with the bishop of the day doesn’t make her a saint, just makes her a pain in the arse.

She’s dead.  She can’t hear you.  Focus on the living and forget the politics of the early Australian church, if she was a great Australian, say so without the mumbo jumbo and magic words of a nasty evil institution like the catholic church.

Stop worshipping dead people.
