Tremendous stuff from Francis!! How do you like them onions, Burke?!! You will not limit Francis to a yes or a no and you will not set the perameters of the debate.

I love too that he departs from the turgid Vatican/Church speak and says it straight. He sees through Burke's pantomime outfit into his crumpled heart and sees his misery. 

AL came into the world in a year which Francis dedicated to mercy, the message could not have been clearer. Back to you now, Burke, your call. 

(Wouldn't it be ironic if, on the 500th anniversary of the Reformation where so many Christians are attempting to join together, Burke and his cronies flounced. Now that would be historically and universally funny.)
