You'll remember the concern of the Westminster Government about all the chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, pheasants, peasants, partridges and pear trees I'm supposedly keeping in my basement? And how I have to report any dead things I may come across on my walks? Here you go:
More Dead Things:
In 2009, stanislav was onto him:
stanislav, a young Polish plumber, has been complaining for a bonny long time that Mr Ratzinger and the Noncing Monsignors were a force for evil in the world and not, as they claim, all good blokes doing work of God, innit, fucking bastards. Is horrible old cunt, Ratso, and swift rubdown with housebrick should have and never mind Ave Maria and Bless me, Father, for I have nonced, should hang-up by neck be from lamp post and see what Holy Mary has to say about that shit, eh? Would fill up the lamp posts of Europe, innit, clergyman bastard is only undiscovered nonce, mostly, the rest is just poof and not so bad, not ideal is, the only decent priest is shirt-lifting brown hatter fishing from other bank to where decent ordinary hetero-bloke is fishing but even so people shouldn't expect no better from man in frock, innit, paedo or poof, and just as bad is, nearly, in Church of Anglican Beard, you watch. Fuck me and Thank God stanislav is devout fucking atheist.
Stanislav was posthumously vindicated in January 2022, in a report written by German law firm Westpfahl Spilker Wastl and commissioned by the Catholic Church which concluded that Cardinal Ratzinger failed to adequately take action against clerics in four cases of alleged abuse while he was Archbishop of Munich and Freising from 1977 to 1982. He originally denied the accusations but subsequently corrected his former statement that he had not been at a meeting of the ordinariate in January 1980. Lawyer Martin Pusch said that "in a total of four cases, we have come to the conclusion that the then Archbishop Cardinal Ratzinger can be accused of misconduct in cases of sexual abuse."
In February 2022, former Pope Benedict XVI had admitted that errors were made in the treating of sexual abuse cases when he was archbishop of Munich. According to the letter released by the Vatican, he asked forgiveness for any "grievous fault" but denied personal wrongdoing. Benedict stated: "I have had great responsibilities in the Catholic Church. All the greater is my pain for the abuses and the errors that occurred in those different places during the time of my mandate."
As a young man he was a member of Hitler's Youth Movement, thus earning himself the nick-name of Pope Nazi. In 2010, at the time of his controversial and very expensive visit to Britain in the natty red shoes and red hat he had revived as Pope-wear, he was described by Richard Dawkins as a "leery old fixer" in respect of the continuing problems the Catholic Church had in covering up and containing the widespread sexual abuse of children by Catholic priests and prelates across the world, but notably in North America and Ireland. Pope Nazi's resignation took him out of the public eye at an opportune time. He was succeeded by Jolly Pope Francis, a.k.a. Jorge Mario Bergoglio, a citizen of Argentina. Here, in 2013, mr ishmael describes the tension between the two pontiffs.

Forbidding women priests and bishops: eesa no change.
Forbidding married priests: eesa no change.
Church co-operation with torture, juntas, dictatorships and totalitarianism: eesa no change.

Happy New Year, one and all.
We hope for the best!. But my prediction is 2023 will be more of 2022, only a lot worse. In my bones I feel something BIG will happen.
Thanks, mr mike, likewise all round.
Good X-word, mr mongoose, doable but initially resistant. I assume 3 (and possibly 4) down were in honour of mr mike's down-under idiomatic options, while 14 down looks like a nod to the house filthster. An honour, sir, if so.
cheers

PS I'll echo mr verge's comment. Well done mr mongoose. Passed several happy hours scratching my head.
I am glad you enjoyed it, gentlemen. In truth it was a bit of a lash-up at the end but I am trying to make them a fairer challenge. Hard crosswords can be hard, or arcane, or just plain bad crosswords. Mine have not been v good thus far. So I am glad we are getting better.
Perhaps, mr v, we can try to embed the next one as a live beast?
What kind of live beast do you mean, mr mongoose? Something slouching toward Bethlehem to be born? If any technical expertise is required (and it sounds like it) you'll have to take point!
First good laugh of the year sees Chris Bryant knighted, presumably for services to underpants and MPs' expenses. Will Brian tap his shoulder with a pork sword when the time comes?

Absolutely un-fucking-believable, mr v. Perhaps just so that we all know that they're taking the piss and don't care that we know it.
(OK, re web e,bedding. I'll look into it.)
