The honeymoon is over

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican says Pope Francis supports the Holy See's crackdown on the largest umbrella group of U.S. nuns, who were faulted for focusing too much on social justice instead of issues such as abortion. 
Ah, well. What were we hoping for, anyway? The pope is Catholic. Therefore he must be filled with hatred toward all things he perceives as less than totally male. It's the Vatican way.

It was a fun act, for a time. Lots of fun, in fact. But the sheen is off and the boxing gloves are back on. Stay tuned for the pope saying hateful things about gay people.

Darn. This is really going to upset Catholics in the US. They were hoping, too. So much for that.
