Does that mean they have to at least pretend to be like the rest of us or that we will be forced to be like them?

And I'm in a less bad mood than yesterday.

Thanks for the laugh Chevy!

I too am confused - I have no idea what Francis is.

Meanwhile, the conservatives in the Catholic church were wondering when the current pope would step down like he said he would. . .
