Put a St. Louis Cardinals jersey on her, call her a cardinal, and we're good to go.

REFUGEES ARE NOT THE SAME AS UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS.

At three syllables, 'Lucifer' is too long. I predict it will morph to "Luke" or "Lucky" by the time he is two.

Maybe that's what these Cardinals and Bishops need is a Nun to keep them in line.
It sure worked on me in elementary school.

Provable, as she turned me into a newt!

combat real pornography ARE squandered

Actually, the exception sounds reasonable. Should a sketch pad doodle of a naked youth be subject to the same prosecution as photos of a young girl coerced to pose? How are we goingg to determine the age of an image that does not represent a "real child." Are all those Baroque images of a naked Christ child to be reclassified as pornography? (Try googling "paintings of jesus christ as a nude baby" should bring up a site that has catalogued 185 paintings of Christ as a nude baby, including a few of Mary breastfeeding him. Are these to be classified as child pornography?
Not establishing these exceptions is the best way to ensure that resources that should be available to combat real pornography are not squandered in court battles over classical paintings, hand-drawn images and family "baby on a rug" photos.

@Father Karl A Claver Re: grey clerical shirt. It has been in the high 90s every day for over a month, cut him some slack.

Am I reading this correctly? A GERMAN is claiming that Christians are the most persecuted religious community in human history? This Cardinal needs a pilgrimage to Auschwitz to refresh his teutonic memory.

"It is revealing that the "Pope of a Poor Church" is so interested in money."
The Pope is obviously trying to cut backon unnecessary and frivolous expenses. $8,000/month ($1 = 1Euro) for rent is ridiculous.

Unjustly deposed? Since 1888, Texas has been an at-will employment state. As an at-will state, employment in Texas may be terminated by an employer or an employee for a good reason, a bad reason, or simply no reason at all, absent a specific agreement to the contrary.
Welcome to the world of your flock, Bp. Strickland.

"Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead" (For anyone over 60)

Meaningless statistic. I would say that 70% of almost any population subgroup is in prison for violent crimes. If they hadn't committed a violent crime they wouldn't be in prison, especially since European countries tend not to imprison non-violent offenderss.

[well over 10,000 Euros} -- Over what period of time? Bi-weekly? Monthly? Annually? The number by itself means nothing. Especially in a country where gasoline is $7 / gallon.

"Are there no men?" Inside the chapel of a Benedictine convent I would hope not..

"Y’know, the thing about a shark, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then – "

@Father Jonn . as far as depicting genitals, the pope's instructions to Michaelangelo were to "be sure and depict all the Gentiles." Turns out it was just a case of bad cellular.

This building was not "completely destroyed." The roof collapsed on about 1/3 of the building. Completely destroyed is the Kaiser Wilhelm memorial church in Berlin. Hyperbole destroys credibility.

Why a single man should need a 4,500 sq ft apartment is beyond me. No sympathy here.
