Ooooooh, Frankie! I think all the secular liberals who used to love you are about to abandon you in droves.
I’m tempted to say “Serves you right.” But who am I to judge?
Those outfits were designed by a costume company. And, as quaint as the Swiss Guards look, they are really armed–with modern automatic pistols.
They have done so for a long while. It’s not a new thing.
Rant about some of the more obnoxious aspects of “Natural Family Planning”, with a side order of extra bitterness at the end.
And you believe he cares about the admiration of shallow secularists? That he has been saying the things he has been saying for ratings among the Libsphere? (Serves *them *right if they forgot the Pope’s Catholic, though…)
And that’s how True Simplicity is gained!

He says folks with private property ain’t got no hope
The rich ain’t welcome in the Heavenly Palladium
The Knights of Columbus own Yankee Stadium

But he can easily afford to sing that song
If you’d like to call him up when you need some dough
His number’s Et Cum Spiritu-20
