Jump To Comment: 1 2i am not a Catholic but it seems that the Catholic church is the fall-guy for all the modern world's problems. the writer of this mocking piece proves my point.
in regards to Oscar Wilde & the Catholic church, Wilde had a lifelong association with the Catholic Church. if you look at The Picture of Dorian Gray it shows that when you kill your conscience, you kill your soul. Wilde's art was always overtly moral & he entered the Church on his deathbed.
for the few INDYMEDIA readers that may be interested this link may be of interest on the above theme:
http://www.amazon.com/Unmasking-Oscar-Wilde-Joseph-Pear...70260
Dorian Gray opens with an invocation to an Egyptian God and a clear paradox - (the month does not see the flowers in bloom which are mentioned) thus this aesthetic detail must be read as a symbolic of a ritual. One which belonged to the order of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in which Wilde was an initiate. It is at this point that Dorian is granted his "wish" immediately after observing an un-named book being read - which is quite probably the edition known to London society of the time of Huysman's A rebours .
Dorian Grey may be read as a tryptich autobiography - the snobbish lord, the tortured artist and the youngster within - but it may not be read in any sense as a RC or Christian text until you have parsed it for its clear references to other belief systems.
And no - I repeat again - Dorian Gray didn't need condoms. Just as he didn' t need antibiotics for gonorrhea, treatment for syphilis, creams for cold sores or lotion for fecking gout.
My story is not mocking Roman Catholics but merely wishes to bring attention yet again to the sheer hypocrisy of the RC state which is the Vatican, a state with full diplomatic status and immense media resources which is so terribly selective in its preaching.
But I reckon most people got the point.
