Ha, I thought that was da bomb! Translation:

“Oy Frankie, you have emasculated Congregations, suspended priests, decapitated the Order of Malta and the Franciscans of the Immaculate, ignored Cardinals...But where is your mercy?

Indeed, THAT is the way how to address these leaders. You just KNOW the Pope was STEAMING at this whole episode....the "serenity and detachment" spin was just that.

You, my good FRiend have written your bishop and know better than us bench-warmers what it means to "take action." Further, if the bishop is OK, I would not unleash a ridicule-laden Tweetstorm on him. In addition, I wouldn't dream of unloading on my Parish Priest about Pope Francis - he's not to blame (and he's an ok guy).

But for special people, the tools of ridicule and satire...they hit them in their Achilles and it tends to madden them, revealing their true selves. And they don't WANT to demask, but they can't help themselves.

Imagine being in line to meet the current Pope...it's your turn, and while he's smiling you say, in Spanish, "Viganò asks 'where is your mercy?' " You just KNOW that smile will give way to anger that will not abate..and you will live rent-free in his head for a while.

Now imagine scores of people like that, every week, at the General Audience...calling out "Viva Viganò" and "where is your mercy?"

Over time, this would have a MUCH greater impact than throwing a few ugly if not abominable wood carvings into the Tiber. And you wouldn't have to break the law.
