Chilean Dictator Pinochet Remains Dead

Fans of the late dictator gathered to commemorate the second anniversary of his continuing death w/ a Mass. As well as worshipping the dead, they're opposed to life itself. (Alright, using McDonna as an example of "life itself" may be stretching it a little, but dig it nonetheless.)

Madonna too lustful for Chilean clergy Thu Dec 11, 1:41 am ET SANTIAGO (Reuters) – Pop star Madonna's antics are lustful, a stain on humanity and offensive to God, a retired Roman Catholic cardinal said on Wednesday during a mass for the late Chilean military dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet. Madonna performed in Santiago on the Latin American leg of her Sticky and Sweet Tour to promote her album "Hard Candy." (Shown here in Buenos Aires.)"The atmosphere in our city is pretty agitated because this woman is visiting and with incredibly shameful behaviour provokes a wild and lustful enthusiasm," Cardinal Jorge Medina told the congregation. "Thoughts of lust, impure thoughts, impure acts, are an offence to God and a dirty stain on our heart," Medina said in his homily marking the second anniversary of Pinochet's death. The conservative prelate is reviled by some Chileans for his close ties to Pinochet, who died in 2006 without facing trial for the fate of 3,000 people who died or disappeared during his 1973-1990 rule.

Roman Catholic Cardinal Jorge Medina criticized the flamboyant singer during his homily at a Mass in honor of the late dictator Augusto Pinochet, who oversaw the deaths of some 3,200 dissidents during his 1973-1990 rule. "This woman comes here and in an incredibly shameless manner, she provokes a crazy enthusiasm, an enthusiasm of lust, lustful thoughts, impure thoughts," said Medina, the cardinal who was chosen to announce the election of Pope Benedict XV. Hundreds of fans spent three days camping outside the National Stadium in Santiago to get good spots for Wednesday's concert, the first of two. About 60,000 people were expected at each performance. One of those waiting in line, Roberto Lopez, told local reporters that he had quit his job in the southern city of Punta Arenas because his boss hadn't given him time off to attend the concert.

Pinochet died Dec. 10, 2006, at age 91. Medina said that some of those who claim to seek justice for violations of human rights under the dictator are actually seeking revenge.

Human filth. The Cardinal (ret'd.) not McDonna, who has never (to the best of our knoweldge) killed anyone or supported anyone who's killed anyone. We're pretty sure. W/ Ms. B. S. in L. A.
