"When Popey boy decides to start giving the wealth back his predecessors stole, then he can go on a lecture tour about the rights and wrongs within his mafia."
Your point is well taken.
But I see Pope Francis as the head of a quite savvy PR campaign to create more Catholics.
Pope Benedict had all the charm of Torquemada, and
Autos de fe aren't quite what they used to be.
Francis is rebranding the Roman Catholic Church.
Is he the new Francis of Assisi?
