I prefer Opus the Penguin, much more fun at a party or a weed infused wedding

Should we respond with a gesture of thanks? Perhaps have IM Pei design the next Abortionplex in the style of a cathedral? Maybe install a chapel and kneelers in the current one? The kneelers would work well in the sauna, I think!

On the Catholic League site he's playing it cool (from November 27):<i>

Catholic League members will like the pope’s criticisms of our “media culture and some intellectual circles.” These segments of the population would like activist Catholics to muzzle themselves, keeping their hands off the normative order. But when Catholics bend to these militant secularists, they lose. “They end up stifling the joy of mission with a kind of obsession about being like everyone else and possessing what everyone else possesses.”

Pope Francis is neither liberal nor conservative. He’s simply Catholic, and a towering champion of its many causes.</i>

Oh oh. They're going to have to get Old Pope Benny off the ceiling with tranquilizing darts.

The Pope's getting all <i>sensus fidei</i> on us, I see. Could be interesting: last time that happened, we got the Immaculate Conception becoming official Catholic dogma.

Shouldn't there still be another six?
