The Pope's Christmas Speech in Klingon

Even though we think it is a total waste of time to follow anyone who can't pilot a Constitution or Galaxy-class starship and wore a toga instead of the proud gold and red uniforms of commanding Starfleet officers, we thought we'd share the Pope's annual Christmas speech. Since the Catholic Church isn't considerate enough to keep all of the galaxy's children in mind when they preach their false prophesies, we offer Pope's words to you in Klingon. Now if your first language is Romulan or Vulcan and you feel left out- go here to get your own translation.
