I wonder how Satan feels about the new Pope?

The article refers to "...former North Dakota Gov. George and Jane Sinner.." which is a real hoot.

The Sinners are unhappy with the reactionary predilections of the new Pontiff, naturally enough, calling him a "reactionary choice who won't lead the church in a progressive way..."

As has been often noted, God sometimes uses coincidence to His advantage. You couldn't make this stuff up!

"He's been a harsh advocate of birth control..."

I feel really dumb. I only quit the Catholic Church once. Nobody told me I could re-quit every time they said or did something I dis-agreed with. But, for some reason, I don't think it bothers them when you quit the second or third or fourth time.

Ex-governor (Oh, how wonderful that sounds) Sinner has a brother who's a priest: Father Sinner.

I know it doesn't roll off the tongue like RINO, but I can't help but think there needs to be a similar label for Catholics In Name Only.

Roy,

We call them "C" and "E" Catholics.

(Christmas and Easter are the only times you'll see them in Church)...
