Il Papa no papa of mine

The Kraut Pope has come to the United States. One of his first messages, while still on the plane, was in answer to a reporter's question about pedophiles in the priesthood:
"“It’s difficult for me to understand how it was possible that priests betrayed in this way their mission to give healing, to give the love of God to these children,” the pope said, adding that the church would work to exclude pedophiles from the priesthood. “It is more important to have good priests than to have many priests,” he said.

Rico says it's more important to have no priests, but that's not going to happen anytime soon; humans like their delusional structures, and the Catholic Church is one of the finest.

As for the immigration issue, in the longer-term, the pope said, the solution is creating enough development in poor countries “so there would be no need to immigrate because there would be sufficient jobs.”

For once Rico says he agrees with the pope. If we can create jobs (farming, manufacturing, whatever), without crippling our own workforce in the process, those people will be happy to stay home and do something, anything, rather than starve.
