(EDITOR'S NOTE: Jesus P. Cadissimo preaches every Sunday at the Church of the Crazy Christ. Since he was excommunicated by the Vatican for accusing a bishop of maintaining a harem of young priests, he has been ministering to the poor of Cameron County. Inspired by Jesus Christ in a scene reminiscent of St. Paul's wokeness, the Rev. Cadissimo now conducts a Sunday homily at his humble house of worship, which he also disseminates via the internet. This is his latest sermon:)
Before I became a priest, I was a Franciscan brother and the order sent me to China to proselytize. God in the Old Testament used to call the Jews a stiff-necked people. If that's the case, the Chinese are a hard-headed lot. At worse they call Christian beliefs an empty mythology and at best they call it a fairy tale.
The Chinese don't believe in life after death. They only believe in the here and now. That is the reason there are so many of them. They are committed to surviving and the more of them there are, the more comfortable they feel about their place in the universe.They also don't believe in damaged children. If the baby is born deformed or after a few years the parents discover that the offspring has a handicap that prevents the latter from leading a normal life, they dig a hole in the backyard in which the child is deposited and quickly buried. The parents are unemotional about the decision. And they are quite undisturbed by the final screams.
They are careful about where they dig the hole. They have a deep love for dogs and they don't want to disturb their pets in their eternal sleep. Therefore, animals are traditionally buried on the left side of their yards and children on the right.
Since the Chinese during my time proved to be impossible to convert to the Catholic faith, we never stopped them from killing their children. We took some consolation knowing that these tiny souls would rise straight to God and heaven wouldn't be bereft of Chinese.
One of the benefits of this practice is that the traffic flows freely in Chinese cities. Since there are no handicapped individuals to be loaded and unloaded by buses, you never have to stop except for lights and signs. You can drive from one destination to another quickly. The Chinese are punctual and they consider arriving late at an appointment as nothing less than a tragedy.
