“Millions Dismayed, The Pope is Still Catholic”! :)

"Millions" are pretty stupid to think that a POPE wouldn't be der uber katholische, like the Pope before him.

Well, that sounds unkind. MAYBE the press and the "millions" were misinformed as to what the Pope MEANT when he said those things.
I doubt if the press and its non-Catholic readers are used to even LISTENING to what the Pope says, let alone what he ever means by his speeches.
Why would they listen or even CARE what he says? I don't get it. Why does ANY non-Catholic CARE about our Pope, what he says, what he does, where he goes or to whom he speaks? Why? What on earth is HE to THEM?

I was being kind of tongue and cheek, because of our notoriously stupid media.

As to why non-Catholics care what he says? No clue, I have been trying to discern that for a long time.

Libertines hate to be reminded of the natural law, because it awakens their conscience. They especially despise moral authority.
