Remember this is the guy who wants to be the US ambassador to the Vatican.

With that in mind, this latest outburst is likely for the consumption of Obama and his acolytes. It's the political version of a gang initiation.

And exactly WHAT makes him think that the boys under the dome would receive him after he's trashed the faith in order to get in good with O?
