The Bipolar Otaku

So what am I reading? I'm actually reading about the this book by Garry Wills called Why I am a Catholic. I picked it up about a month ago, thinking it might make me better able to solidify my beliefs...

Right now, it's all history. I hated history in school. I couldn't pay attention to it. It was boring. But reading this book... somehow I find the entire history of the lineage of popes hilarious. From the beginnings with Peter and his struggles against Paul (yeah, apostle versus apostle? now some passages of the Book of Revelations make sense) to the great Renessaince artists of the Vatican and all the false and/or pointed symbols they threw in there to (where I am now in the book) the separation of the church of England and all that the church did to piss them off. With an occasional mention of this pope's daughters (yes, plural) being married here or that one's grandson being appointed as a cardinal. It's hysterical.

But I'm wondering exactly where he's going with it, because it seems like he has to come out as supporting the Catholic Chruch...
