Pope Leo can talk all he wants

but I would prefer that he excommunicate all Catholics in the government, starting with Shady McMaybelline and working his way down. THATis the kind of public shaming they really deserve! And don't forgive them and let them back in until they have shown that they've mended their ways and done public penance, either. That's the way it used to be done, and that's the way it needs to be done again.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
