But Some Are More Martyred Than Others

Five hundred "martyrs of the faith" have had their immigration rights to Paradise recognised by the Catholic church, and will now be expected to intercede on behalf of those faithful who grovel in their name. The five hundred were martyred during the Spanish Civil War, when the Catholic church was firmly on the side of the "nationalist" (Fascist, in Oldspeak) forces of General Franco. Despite various pressure groups having written to the Pope, the far greater number of non-Fascists who were murdered by the church's chums did not receive a mention during the ceremony. It is all very well to offer dialogue with the forces of atheistic republicanism, but they cannot be allowed to interfere with the Vatican's heavenly border patrols.
