Les nouveaux curés et les nouvelles prêtresses de la pensée correcte de notre Québec n’en finissent pas de blâmer l’abominable Église catholique pour tout ce qui est croche dans notre petit monde québécois. Notre côté bougon, quétaine, « grand parleux-p’tit faiseux » ; notre méfiance maladive à l’égard des riches et notre rapport trouble au sexe et au progrès, tout cela nous viendrait de ce passé judéo-chrétien que l’Église, la mère de tous les maux,  nous aurait vissé dans les os et planté entre les deux oreilles pour les siècles des siècles. C’est en mettre gros sur le dos de l’Église. Il me semble que le défrichage d’un pays extrêmement rude et notre soumission forcée à un conquérant riche et méprisant (pourtant aussi judéo-chrétien que nous), nous ont cassé les reins autrement plus sûrement que les commandements de Dieu et de l’Église. Quand du haut de la chaire l’Église martelait que l’argent était la source de tous les maux et ne devait pas ê...

SAINT HEROD Political story with known characters.   Tired of being thought of as a baby eater, king Herod converts to religion. Perched on a golden palanquin held up by twelve slaves, he goes to the Crib of Bethlehem to adore the Infant God. The stench of the place is nauseating and nearly suffocates him. He tears his shirt as a mark of disgust and cries out with a slight cough: ««By the beard of Abraham, what a shame! And what a way of welcoming God on Earth!». He kicks out the shepherds, the sheep and other creatures, takes the holy family under his wing, sets the stable on fire and goes back to Jerusalem. He himself carries the infant Jesus in his arms, tickles him, cradles him and becomes so fond of the kid that it did not take time before he adopted him as a son and make him heir to his throne. Joseph, like his famous ancestor carrying the same name, is appointed prime minister of the kingdom, and Mary, as First Lady, is given the sweet task of dispensing priv...

Internet                     No oppressor is good, and no oppressed is bad Fidel, I do not want to offend you, but I am asking myself how come you let Nelson Mandela overtake you... The apartheid regime of South Africa was maybe more cruel than the one laying to waste Cuba under the thumb of Batista and of his mafiosi yankees. Under the inspiration of the CIA (her again!), the criminals who were ransacking and pillaging South Africa took hold of Mandela and had him imprisoned. For 27 years, he suffered hell. But in jail, Mandela grew up, so much so that in the eyes of the people he became a hero as popular as you in Cuba.    When he came out of that inferno, he could have only to snap his fingers so that the people rise up and make a stew with the oppressors. But Nelson did not chose that path. He chose to initiate a revolution light years away from yours. Animated by an inner strength that he had develo...

My dear Dragon, in any case, of all the dragons of the world, you are the most wonderful!  Your mother was an exquisite sausage princess who had a sulphurous affair with a police dog…From that atomic fusion, dear Dragon, you were born as the synthesis of the thesis and the antithesis. With you the conflict of the opposites is over and the eternal battle between the intelligence and the stick comes to an end. When you entered my life in Tilcara, some thirty-five years ago, you were only a puppy given by a nice boy of the village to my son Edu. He and I welcomed you, filled with joy, like a little star fallen from above.   Your childhood was a non-stop running of mischievousness and laughs. With the time, you sat down and you became my secretary and confidant. After dinner, lying like a mat on the floor you would listen with patience the monologues in Spanish and in French of the incorrigible dreamer that I always have been. At times, you would look at me with bo...

 JULIEN, AUTHOR OF THE  BIBLE For our modern sensitivity, our good Julien Vézina* is not quite the type of missionary to imitate. Anyway, he is inimitable. In the mountains of South Honduras where the climate is very hot and where life is very rough, he is the freest man of the world. He does not sleep, eats very little and never stops. He is a man whose passion is to be with the ordinary people, to make them happy, to serve them. He plays cat-and-mouse with the children, he extracts teeth, and if no midwife is available for delivery, he is the one who plays the role of «mid-husband». No unemployment.  When we are Julien Vézina, we enrol in the Eucharistic Crusade the babies still breast feeding and communion is given to them just like with adults. We direct the brass bands at all the patriotic celebrations and we play any musical instrument.  We use the typewriter at the speed of lightning and we create documents. For those thousands of people wh...

If I were an American, in the next presidential election I would vote for Bernie Sanders. That’s because Bernie is the freest, the most humane, the more just and the truest among all the candidates in line. But Bernie will lose, for sure. Why? Probably because the majority of Americans - like most of the inhabitants of our planet - want nothing but money, even dirty money that trickles down with blood.  W hat is «more free, more humane, more just and more true» comes second for them. Moreover, they don’t give a damn!   «The majority», I said, not everybody, since a minority will vote for Bernie.   2000 years ago, I would have voted for Jesus, you see? ... And so, why do I vote for losers? The youth knows very well why. The youth feels that Old Sanders’ ideas are vital for democracy, for social justice and for the peace in the world. The youth is aware that the future of the humankind is going exactly in this direction. So t he youth votes for Sander...
