We must be realistic about the pope's visit. He is a wonderful role model; he will not make miracles happen for American Catholics.

The pope's visit, we hope, will be a refreshing antidote to our jaded state and the appalling condition of many of our once cherished institutions before scandals rocked them.

A wonderful role model for whom?

Politicians who want to appear like they care about women and lgbt people while keeping them oppressed?

Yeah the PR pope sure is a great example of how to successfully rebrand and sell misogyny and homophobia to the ignorant public.

Republicans should pay attention, they need all the help they can get.
