    Look, this situation is becoming grave, and the laity, of which I am one, am becoming more and more confused. What we never thought would happen, couldn't conceive of happening, in our world, in our church, is now happening.
    Could we all PLEASE stop using satire as a form of outrage or expression? It is becoming maddening to read things that could possibly be true in this Thunderdome we call the world. Enough!

We believe in a good argument. That means NO ad hominem attacks. This also includes Pope Francis. Further, referring to him by any other name, may or may not indicate a schismatic attitude, and given the confusion in the Church your comment will NOT be published. Comments are those of the commentators and not those of this blog. You may use a pseudonym... we do... Behave like a guest in our living room and you will be fine.
