No one wanted it to be noticed that they could see no clothes, for then it would be said that they were stupid fools. None of the Pope's clothes had ever before received such praise.
"But he doesn't have anything on!" said a small child.
"Good Lord, let us hear the voice of an innocent child!" said the father, and whispered to another what the child had said.
"A small child said that he doesn't have anything on!"
Finally everyone was saying, "He doesn't have anything on!"
The Pope shuddered, for he knew that they were right, but he thought, "The procession must go on!" He carried himself even more proudly, and the Cardinals walked along behind carrying the train that wasn't there.

Do you have reliable evidence that buggery makes you go blind...they used to say that about masturbation ...how are your eyes?

Ah, but even though the Pope may be naked, all the pomps seen through as covers for the frailty of the evidence and the deceit of mankind, at least with THIS Pope, if all else fails he can dazzle the crowd with the Prada shoes of vainglory until the Cardinals decide he's too much of an embarrassment and put a little special something in his cocoa.

Interesting question; it does have some Biblical support.
Rev. 3:17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and NAKED— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your NAKEDNESS may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. (emphasis added)
These are Jesus' words to the Laodicean Church, which represents today. How sad it is that some calling themselves clothed in righteousness are actually naked.......

If you really would be serious you would know the truth, but since you hang on to buggering you are blind.
ie. you're to fond of gay-sex to even bother to try and find out the truth. because if you found it maybe you would have to give up something that you're not ready to do.
When I was a kid, mum would say don't watch to much TV your eyes will be as squares. She was not right but she did have a point.

sounds right to me the pope not wearing any clothes must be so he can molest a young boy more easily, i bet he has molested more young boys than Michael Jackson

Yes, some "blindly" follow religion without ever checking it out for themselves.
