Paul Vallely has an interesting op-ed in the NYT today. It's about Pope Francis and the canonization of
Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero. To my mind, it's about the evil
conservatives who run (ran?) the Vatican and the lengths to which they'd
go to malign someone with a good heart.
You have to know a bit of Roman Catholic history to appreciate this fully, but the wonderful upshot is that Francis is really a sock in the head to the bad guys. That's the primary, most delicious point. If you despise the Vatican of the past two decades, you'll love the linked op-ed. If not, skip it.
