I think he’s dead on. Unless you get people to radicalize and get their religious nut on then the church just becomes a massive 3rd world charity buggers little boys on occasion.

If I were him I would refrain from using metaphors which involve ‘children’ even if the context is innocent and deeply spiritual…

CT is spot on. The religious nuts quickly grasp the law of the excluded middle, that eludes the understanding of rational people.

Isn’t Pope = Papa in Spanish? Who’s your daddy? Badass Francis, that’s who.

That wasn’t a metaphor. He said the church would become a 3rd world NGO that also likes to build sand castles with children and bugger them which results in its collapse.

1Recho, be careful agreeing with me on anything. Black Swan and Blake will hunt you down for that.
