Here's the text of the ad:
[i]Cardinal Ratzinger dicit amat magna mater ecclesia. Sed qui veritas est? Eram prognatus in Germania. Ut eram Martin Luther. Validus ecclesia est alius reformation superstes per a sausage-eating bastard? Ego Cardinal Arinze, et ego probatus is nuntius. [/i]

And a translation:
Cardinal Ratzinger says the great mother Church loves. But who is the truth? I was born(?) in Germany. As I was Martin Luther. The church is strong surviving the reformation by a sausage-eating bastard? I Cardinal Arinze, and I this message having been approved.

Here it is in better Latin: [i]
Cardinalis Ratzingerius dicit se magnam Matrem Ecclesiam amare. Immo vero quid veri? Ille natus est in Germania. Ubi quoque erat natus iste; Martinus Lutherius. Num autem est Ecclesia satis virium ut possit superesse alii Reformationi per alterum nothum physcophagum? Cardinal Arinzeius sum, qui hunc nuntium probavi.[/i]Latin text and translation found [url="http://www.houseofhagen.net/"]here[/url]. With emendations from [url="http://caelestis.info/sauvagenoble/2005/04/spectaculum-hodiernum.html"]here[/url].

I love the Daily Show...

[joemal1117]

Thanks for that! I needed a good laugh. Plus reading it as it should have been properly written made the whole thing even funnier. it's good to laugh at ourselves once and awhile

LIMBO?!

[Mateo el Feo]

I'm not a big "Daily Show" fan, but this skit was hilarious. The "attack ads" cracked me up!

[Theoketos]

You can almost say that it was done with respect.

"every limbo boy and girl ... "

rather, laughing my butt off ... more appropriate I thought ...

[Thy Geekdom Come]

That's a really bad English translation of the Latin...not even close.

[Mickey's_Girl]

I thought it was HYSTERICAL! Even the bad Latin part was funny. Heh heh.

I sent it to my friend and she said she hadn't laughed so hard in a year. I included pictures of both men. She's not Catholic, and she goes--"IS IT TRUE?!?" I assured her that it was just a joke.

No, the English translation is good. It's the latin that is awful. But I thought that made it funnier. When I was listening to it I was the type of latin that I would produce: bad.

[jezic]

i must have missed it ......

[picchick]

I cannot believe that you would post that on a good Catholic site... I am ashamed.






















































A JOKE EVERYONE!

[Antonius]

That is hilarious. Once again, the Daily Show makes a funny. They're usually respectful to the Pope and the Church. Only once in a while will a joke pass by that is a little disrespectful. This skit however was pretty tasteful.

[Birgitta Noel]

ROTFL, Did anyone see the SNL Weekend Update last weekend? It was really funny, Tina Fey was going through the list of papible, Ratzinger, Arinze, Bo Bice and then she says, "Duh! How hard is this? Come on guys, it's clear, the next pope is John Paul III!"
