Pope Opts For Reverse Psychology - 'Just Do What You Want'
Filed: Saturday, June 29, 2002
Pope John Paul II, leader of the Catholic Church and amateur trombonist, has adopted an exciting new tactic in imparting his religious wisdom - reverse psychology.
"Go on, have pre-marital sex. See if I care," he said at a sermon conducted at a Vatican nightclub. "Masturbate as much as you like. Abort babies. Manipulate genes. Clone things. Do what you want. You will anyway."
Leading cardinals have applauded the new strategy. "To be frank, I thought the best days of His Holiness were behind him, but this 'reverse psychology' thing is a brilliant innovation," said Cardinal Richie Sambora.
"Let's face it, nobody was listening anyway. This might buy us a few more years of inflicting misery and self-loathing on people, which is all we need until we get the Electric Robo-Pope fully operational."
When questioned further on the Robo-Pope, Cardinal Sambora declared the interview over and denied all knowledge of the development of any 15-foot high, rocket-boosted, electric religious cyborg leaders.
