Due to the (sheesh) uproar, they've decided to turn off the hoses on the poors. Resulting in one of the best quotes I've ever heard a "church" spokesman ever say, out loud even.

“The problem is persistent,” said church spokesman Larry Kamer. “The first priority today was to turn the sprinklers off. But now we’ll have to figure out what to do next.”

Insert Jeopardy theme here. Patience, patience.....I'm sure what they need to figure out, on what to do next, will come to him.

Good for you! :) I'm going to assume all these happy hikers and bikers and MUNI riders are not homeless but other than that, I stand corrected.

I remember getting in a heap o' holy shit from the priest when he caught me helping myself to the Poor Box by the exit... he didn't like my defense - "I read the sign, and God knows I'm poor". It was at that point I threw out my Jesus Freak tee-shirt (from a 70's "weekend encounter" hosted by the RCC).

"The shower ran for about 75 seconds, every 30 to 60 minutes while we were there, starting before sunset, simultaneously in all four doorways."

Glad to see that the Catholic Church in San Fran is observing drought restrictions. Oh wait, they're dumping water on The Poors. Approved!

Why don't those homeless people just borrow some money from their parents or cash in some of their inherited stocks and buy a freakin' house?!!!

More like the endlessly flowing tears of church accountants after paying off lawsuits due to pedophile priests and complicent bishops.

In San Francisco? Are you out of your mind? Nobody walks in San Francisco. Not with grocery baskets full of junk, anywise. Those hills are killer.

Before you start thinking that the Archbishop is just a heartless asswipe, he did ixnay the original suggestion of booby-trapping the alcoves with claymore mines.
