Comedy at the Vatican

A certain bishop in Rome probably doesn't intend to be funny with this declaration, but The Rascal (a lapsed Catholic) can't help but laugh.

This guy says "Catholics will do" this, and "Catholics will do" that -- as if the rank-and-file will blindly follow the hierarchy in every instance.

Sure they will. Catholics always do what the Vatican tells them to do. Take artificial birth control, for example. Catholics faithfully abstain from the pill -- except for the tens of millions of them who don't.

This bishop who thinks he can count on Catholics to oppose civil unions for gay folks seems not to understand that many Catholics don't agree with the Vatican's homophobia.
