I wonder how many protestant spouses his excellency has?
After the mess a few years back, I remember thinking that the RCC in its current form is dying, and it will take either one of two paths in order to survive.
1: As Benedict said, paraphrased, smaller but holier. That is, someone will be able to purge the gay mafia, the corruption, and the leftism that’s rotting it from within. They’ll need to make sacrifices to do so, though.
2: Throw open the church doors to everyone in order to get as much money as they can squeeze while continuing to cover up all the bad things happening in the hierarchy.
Looks like they’re going after option 2.
Next up, Jewish and Muslim spouses.
