Speaking of killing cats, the pope agrees with some of ATOT

I read the ugly turn of the outside cat thread before lunch. Then I saw this gem on Andrew Sullivan: http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/02/25/the-vatican-and-the-dead-cats/
One warm night, when the monsignor had guests for dinner and the window open to catch the breeze, the cats that prowl the tiled roofs were making a racket, howling and mewling in the twilight. The monsignor despised those cats. So he got up from the table, retrieved an antique carbine, and fired a few shots out the window. Then he sat back down as if nothing unusual had occurred.

The next morning, two nuns climbed to the roofs with buckets, into which they deposited a few dead cats. And nothing more was ever said about the incident.

The point, Nuzzi said, the key to understanding everything else, was what never happened: No one suggested taking away the monsignor’s rifle. The real problem was what was left littering the rooftops. And so it was enough, it was proper, to simply cart away the bodies.

Talk about synchronicity, lol. Weird, how the pope agrees with our more sociopathic (or those inclined to make sociopathic jokes) members...

How are these at all the same?

Do you put 'guy that makes dead baby jokes' one simple notch below 'guy who enjoys murdering babies with an axe'?

I didn't mean to say that they're the same. The jokers joked about being as terrible about roaming cats as the pope, lol.
 
Okay...I just saw that as kind of a severe condemnation of those us that tend to have a slightly [enormous] twisted sense of humor. Just because you're able to laugh at something inappropriate, it doesn't mean you don't have feelings or something.

But to be a little more on-topic (I guess?)...are we equating the guy's rifle with a priest's penis, I guess?
