Here we see two Princes of the Church, proving for all to see that the Know-Nothings were right. The strange looking person sitting is Cardinal McCarrick who has created a bit of a stir by being caught canoodling with the seminarians. Naughty naughty Cardinal McCarrick. He is expressing surprise at Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago, is handing him what is called the “Spirit of Francis” award. In keeping with the Spirit of Francis towards the laity. it depicts a priest shoving a fist up the ass of some poor choirboy.
What is not showing in the photo is the inscription, “Screw them!”
Cardinal McCarrick is saying at this moment, “Holy Tom of Finland. Blase! Where did you find that thing?”
Cardinal Cupich responded, “At the vendor floor of International Mister Leather.”
It now sits proudly next to the Golden Fist with Crisco Clusters given a few years back to McCarrick by M.A.F.I.A. (Mid American Fists in Action, a gay male fisting club based in Chicago.)
For those of you not initiated into the mysteries, Gay Leather clubs are always giving awards to each other, living under the illusion that, like the stupid awards the Entertainment industry gives to each other, they somehow matter. As the Catholic Church is just a large, gay organization it is to be expected it would do the same thing.
Of course the most coveted is the Shrieking Choirboy which is usually only given to the Pope.
