We're making a key decision now for our kids, it's religion decision
time, y'know. And, uh, I'm not bringing 'em up Catholic, I've made that
decision, boy oh boy. 'Cause I was raised Catholic and NO WAY! Nuh-uh!
Nope! Y'know what, I can't bring up my kids in a church whose authority
system is based entirely on the size of fuckin' hats, okay? That's
apparently how the Catholic church is run. The bigger the hat, the more
important the guy, right? Priests have no hats, Cardinals have those
little red beanies, the Pope has a collection of big hats. God must have
a huge fuckin' sombrero up there in heaven, huh? "Look at me, I'm God!
Look at the size of my hat, who else would I be??" "I don't know, lead
singer of Los Lobos? I don't know. You tell me."
They just change their rules too much in the Catholic church for me.
Remember the Latin Mass? They changed that. Every once in awhile, they
just change some rules for no reason. Like God just called up on the
hotline. Remember Saint Christopher? They kicked him out, he's not a
saint anymore. Did you know that? Yeah! Saint Christopher, the patron
saint of travel when we were growing up, your parents had that Saint
Christopher figurine, that magnetic thing that was on the dashboard, and
he protected you while you were driving around, huh? Now he's gone. They
kicked him out. "Fuck him! Fuck Saint Christopher! You're out!!" Why?
I wanna know, what did he do? Did he smoke crack in the rectory? What?
Was he giving people bad directions? "Honey, take a left...heh heh...take
a right...heh heh...fuck you!" "Hey, wait a minute, man, we're in
Rochester!"
This, of course, is our good friend, the Virgin Mother. She's always
pictured like that, did you ever notice that? When she's a statue or a
painting, she's always like this [Virgin Mother pose], like she's going,
"What the fuck?? Hey, man, what the fuck?" The thing I don't like about
her, she's supposedly always appearing to groups of Mexican people and
Irish people and Italian people. It happens every year, doesn't it?
Remember last year, it was the Mexicans down in Texas who saw her appear
on the back of a highway sign? There was like a million Mexicans on CNN,
crying...then there was some Italian guy that baked a blueberry muffin,
"Look, you can see her face in the muffin!" No you can't! You fuckin'
moron!! It's a muffin, asshole!!! Believe me, she's got a big enough
budget, if she wanted to show up she wouldn't be on a fuckin' blueberry
muffin. She'd show up in the middle of Air Force One on opening weekend
right after Harrison Ford's big close-up. She'd just pop up on the screen
and go, "HEY! Stop putting shit in the coffee!"
