So very interesting to hear what bores you, Ken.

What bores me is the endlessly repetitive harp of many puritanical neoconservatives who believe that the root issue is human sexuality. All other issues are, in their myopic view, peripheral niceties.

Pope Francis breathes fresh life into the wizened old fossil that is meant to be the Mystical Body of Christ ... that is meant to be Sacrament to the World/Cosmos. This bag of dry bones has lost its saltiness, and its light is a wavering flame on the point of being extinguished.

Thanks be to God for Francis!
