Bishop of the Barrio Installs Pi�ata Stations of the Cross

The Bishop of the Barrio has replaced traditional Stations of the Cross with sequential pi�atas, each filled with symbolic candies and tiny laminated prayers. �Nothing teaches sacrifice like smashing pride with a stick,� said Morales. The final station erupts in holy glitter and tootsie rolls. Kids love it. Bishops are confused. Pope Leo XIV, laughing mid-homily, said, �Jesus flipped tables�why not whack papier-m�ch�?� Each station now comes with spiritual safety goggles. Parents call it �the most violent path to peace we�ve ever loved.�
