[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

I’m no great fan of the current Pope myself. I have been turned off by his many misguided comments on economic policy.

But if I decided to excommunicate everyone in the Church who disagreed with my views, I think I would be the only one left in the Church.

Popes' have no particular guarantee to understand economics. I pay no attention to what clerics say about such non-ecclesial concerns.

But if I decided to excommunicate everyone in the Church who disagreed with my views, I think I would be the only one left in the Church.

Ouch! That seems to say something. I think I would have to stop and consider for a moment if I thought that were true about myself.
