It is small wonder that our Boy Wonder King flocks to an even Higher Highness. The Pope's astonishing hide-in-plain-sight strategery must be the envy of neoconservatives everywhere.

There's nothing behind my back...Look, over there!

The Pope says that one of the great challenges facing the church is to re-establish the Catholic identity which, he says, is "not so much about external things."

He says this after a higher-than-head-of-state reception, while sitting on a veritable throne, wearing a quilted white satin robe with gold trim and what appears to be fur lining, with the world and an elaborate gold brocade mantel draped upon his shoulders, and the mother of all rings upon his hand.

Papal Bling is directly contrary to the claim that the Catholic identity is not about external stuff. Right there, pow, in the kisser...the hypocrisy couldn't be more clear. It is too outrageous and too bad to be believed, therefore good Catholics accept it as "the way it is."

Just like good Americans accept the blatant bullshit in American politics.
