You’re right, and so are the other commenters who thought this post was Mundabor’s for April Fool’s Day. His latest post, http://mundabor.wordpress.com/2014/04/01/aprils-fool-2/, states:
Yes, of course it was an April’s fool!
Or do you think that you would be informed that the Bishop of Rome, the most Modernist tool in the land east of the Pampas, would put himself on his way to conversion on… April 1!? Really?
What shall I say: I commend the innocence of those who have believed it. Albeit hooks and sinks also come to mind…
I must admit: it was fun. My apologies to all those whose comments I had to hold back, lest they spoil the party too soon…
Still, even this little joke tell us something, in fact, rather serious, and to be reflected upon with due sadness.
We live in such disgraceful times, that a Pope expressing himself as he should is, in fact, an April’s fool joke.

True that.
