You're listening to a Stranger podcast, www.com.

If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,

while there's nothing you can't ask on the savage lovecast.

I got in trouble with the Catholics last week.

I have used this headline a million times on Slog, the Strangers blog, where I blog every day.

Whenever I write about the current Pope, Emeritus, the ex-Pope, the most recent Pope, the first Pope to retire in six or seven hundred years of Catholic history.

Whenever I write about him, I affectionately used this in the headline on my blog.

That motherfucking power hungry self-aggrandized bigot in the stupid fucking hat joins Twitter.

That was one of the headlines that I used.

And then when the Pope announced he was retiring, I of course headlined that post.

That motherfucking power hungry self a grandized bigot in the stupid fucking hat retires. And

the good folks at Newsbusters and then Bill Donahue at the Catholic League exploded right on cue.

You know what? If you just want to see Bill Donahue at the Catholic League dance, just give him a call and say, that motherfucking power hungry, self-agrant his bigot is bigot, just do a stupid fucking hat. Watch him explode. Watch him do his little bigot dance because he will. They kind of blew up at me because I'm an anti-Catholic bigot and look at what I said, look at what I said. And of course, every time they do this and it happens every time I headline a post that way, I have to go on Twitter and I have to go on my blog and I have to point out. I have to give credit again to the genius that is Tim Minchin who actually wrote that line. It's a lyric from his song, the Pope's song. And if you haven't heard the Pope song, you really need to stop listening to the podcast right now for just a minute and go to YouTube and look up just Pope's song. You just go to Google and put in Pope's song and up pops Tim mentions Pope's song and it is genius. And in it, he calls the Pope that motherfucking power hungry self-acranged bigot in the stupid fucking hat.

And it's really fucking funny.

And he's, you know, it's a song that comes from a place of real anger about the Pope covering up for child rapists.

When you cover up for people who are raping children, when you enable child rape, when you are basically an unindicted co-conspirator to mass child rape, people get mad at you.

And they will call you things like that motherfucking power hungry self-agrinous pick it in the stupid freaking hat, right?

Anyway, I was thinking about the Catholics this week because I'm in trouble with the Catholics and Bill Donahue put out a press release called Dan Savage Savage's Pope.

Did you catch that? Savage Savage. Savage. That was really clever. I've never heard that before. In his press release, he delivers to me, he serves me, the worst insult that a Catholic bigot can possibly throw at another man. He calls me a name that to a Catholic man like Bill Donahue is

the worst thing you can not call another Catholic man. He calls me a woman. Donahue complains

that I was invited to a White House reception for homosexuals. And I said in my post about it that I

arrived with my husband. Would that make Dan Savage the guy's wife?
