Good grief. The man has a skull full of mush.

The pope, I mean.

Reading the passages of his "The Joy of the Gospel" that deal with the economy, one gets that impression.

The rest might be worse, for all I know.

But this is quite bad enough.

This does seem to take us outside traditional Catholic social teaching, mostly in the direction of ick and ooze.

 

And muddle.

Yes, that's it. 

Ick, ooze, and muddle.

Here.

Yes, there are sentences that make some sense and might have been written by a secular progressive.

But they are very few, and there is far too much extravagance, goop, muddle, and religious silliness for liberals to find much of an ally in this clownish priest.

Have you ever read "Being There"?

The left is basically just spinning this guy like mad.

The right are beside themselves.
