Apparently scandal upon scandal upon scandal in the Church has had a cumulative effect. Even the traditionalists have succumbed. "It's not like it was in St. Peter's... it wasn't at Mass." The Catholic Church is being systematically destroyed, and the Pope pronounces inanities while people spin on their heads before him. Madness? Not even to the traditionalists.
The Church is not being destroyed, and the Pope is just having a little fun.
Can't the Pope have a little fun?
People with no sense of humor can never be saints. Remember that.
