This whole story – but this page especially – is a brutal takedown of the Roman Catholic Church and Christianity in general. Jesus was actually an alien, you see, but now he’s locked in the bowels of the Vatican and new popes have to meet with him before they are confirmed. If they emerge with the goal of releasing him, they are killed.
