Sometimes Torquemada Does Have the Answer

In the city cathedral of Cesena, Italy, a “goth-rock couple”–whatever that is–were caught in a confessional having oral sex, and were promptly thrown into the local hoosegow, where they admitted to being atheists. Bishop Antonio Lanfranchi of Cesena-Sarsina called the incident “an outrage of notable proportions which bespeaks unutterable squalor” and started searching through the available Roman Catholic guidebooks for a ceremony that would presumably purify the confession box. Of course, I shouldn’t comment on this since I’m an American Protestant, but I think you could do a ceremony during which you castrated the male with a hot branding iron and then used the same iron to imprint “Atheist” on the butt of the female and that would pretty much purify the church of any atheist within a several-nation area who was thinking about doing the same thing.
