How very fortunate we are that this comic strip does not reflect the reality of the Holy Father.  While he is no Saint John Paul, the Great, he is also not going to elevate a woman to a position of power, listen to Bob Dylan being sung by some monkish sidekick.  No, we have a Most Holy Father who, although sometimes confusing, stands 100 percent behind his bishops when necessary, such as when they are hurting because of the harm caused by their protection of pedophiles ( a tradition he continues to honor as did his predecessors),  is unafraid to display saintly corpses in keeping with tradition, and  generally doesn't make any substantive changes.
