Anbandon Detailing! It's A Sin!

[nikro000]

CNN reported today that the VAtican issued the 10 commandments of driving, complete with comments.
Well, I am a catholic, so what choice do I have but to obey them.
One of the comments are (according to CNN):

"One part of the document, under the section "Vanity and personal glorification", will not go down well with owners of Ferraris in motor-mad Italy.

"Cars particularly lend themselves to being used by their owners to show off, and as a means for outshining other people and arousing a feeling of envy," it said."

So that's what we have to do - no waxing, no washing! Ride only dirty rustbuckets ye sinners everywhere! If you wash and wax your vanity will damn you to eternal hellfire!
Lord oh Lord! What am I going to do with all the car care products I bought???

Hmmm... does this mean I am going somewhere warm

I am glad the Vatican has time to worry about Envy. Especially with all of the other more pesonal issues going on in the church.

Sell the products to me...

O yes! The Vatican cares about everything! But as far as detailing goes... I guess it is ok for a catholic to wash and wax his car if he repents every stroke with the wash mitt and the polisher and cries about his own vanity the whole time Additional value is added when he kneels on a nailboard while doing so.

Just tell your priest about it in confession and you'll be good. Last time I saw the Pope Mobile, it was looking pretty shiny. I wonder if he's going to heed his own comments.

Now THAT was a good one! And I also wonder if those black shiny vatican limousines are really kept glossy by prayer alone...

Don't kid yourself, the Pope has a PC under his robe.


J/K, I mean no offense.

Yeah, we are talking about what's under the Pope's robe!
I thought this would be an anti-environmental rant, but funny.

I guess it's fine, as long as you hide your sparkling ride in the garage and are not proud of it.

The Pope + Vatican is not GOD. You don't have to take whatever he says as literal truth. That is pretty sad.

Just for clarification: I was sarcastic!

Each Pope has his soap box I guess. Pope Benedict is very much against vainity. He has spoken out about letting things just be as they are a few times that I can recall. Honestly, with the amount of materialism that I see in the world today, I think a message like this is very necessary.
