I'm going to get my cell phone out and record the homily. If he tells us to vote for Robme under penalty of eternal damnation, I'm not only going to send the vid to the IRS, I'll also upload it on Youtube - with my own comments - for the entire world to see.

If that won't embarrass the hierarchy, what will?
