Your mom "is" seeing this, and she's very pleased, as is mine.

When is the New York Slimes going to figure out that the Pope is not going to be swayed by their smear campaign?

My mother was an avid contract bridge player. Are you telling me yours was too?

No, it's just a punchline. But hey, anything's possible.

LOL! I'm sure as "h" not about to ping him. I note his last post was to me. I'm ignoring him for the time being, as per Petronski's advice : do not feed the troll. Of course, I will feed him again... maybe next week, but I'm going to make certain it's fatal poison. :)

Jack Chick and his crowd despise the Jesuits in particular, so I suppose they would side with the Pope on this, but who knows.

Now watch those who hate the Catholic Church rally to the defense of this Jesuit priest.

Being a non-Catholic, I'm glad to see this. But doesn't this show that the former John Paul allowed things to slip away and there were millions wanting to make John Paul a saint. Seems to me, either JP was correct or this Pope is correct. I'll take this one.

We're one Pope away from things slipping away again.
