Hyperbole

More stuff you can’t make up, this time from Reuters

The Vatican’s official newspaper accused an Italian comedian on Wednesday of “terrorism” for criticizing the Pope and warned his rhetoric could fuel a return to 1970s-style political violence.

“This, too, is terrorism. It’s terrorism to launch attacks on the Church,” it said. “It’s terrorism to stoke blind and irrational rage against someone who always speaks in the name of love, love for life and love for man.”

Good grief! What kind of things can the comedian – Andrea Rivera – have been saying?

“The Pope says he doesn’t believe in evolution. I agree, in fact the Church has never evolved,” he said.

That’s it? (Pretty much, yes.)
