Is the Pope Catholic post of the day

The Pope deviated from his written script and mentioned he opposes Abortion and the newfangled ideas of equating gay marriage to traditional marriage.

The press is of course horrified, but believing Catholics (yes there are a few os us) were happy: true, he is a day late and a dollar short in his pronouncement, but never mind: there might be hope yet for the old guy.

The satire site Eccles is Saved said he must have changed his advisors medications. (Only funny for those who are aware of the kerfuffle going on in the church).

The results have been startling. Pope Francis has spoken out against "gay" parenting ("ungodly") and abortion ("like Nazi eugenics"). Only a few weeks too late to save Ireland and Argentina, but credit where it's due.

This could be a turning point for the Catholic Church. Will Emma Bonino be crossed off Francis's Christmas card list? Will Fr James Martin SJ be summoned to Rome for a good thrashing (no, he'd probably enjoy it)? Will Scalfari be given the boot? Will the Dubia finally be answered? Could climate change, liberation theology, and similar issues be replaced by a new emphasis on Catholic teaching?

and Eccles also has this post on the hypocracy of the US Catholic bishops, who haven't taken their red pill yet.
