Dinardo, the USCCB, and the pope need to get out of the climate change/amnesty/capitalism politics and.start saving souls, beginning with their own.

He’s going to explain, again, how to diddle other men without getting caught.

They just don’t seem to get it.

Yup. Gotta get our stories straight, dontcha know.

Also gotta ensure that any more incriminating files are either destroyed or sent back to the Vatican before any more inconvenient subpoenas arrive.
