Fabian is 72 years old today. I don't care.

Like many people, I support some of the things that Pope Francis is doing. He has a genuine connection to helping those in need. On the other hand, Archbishop Cordileone of San Francisco. despite his auspicious name, reminds me of Father Serra. Both men enjoyed vast power trips. They used the Church to gain control over other people. Father Serra whipped many hundreds of California Indians in whose sex lives he meddled. He whipped more slaves than Robert E. Lee. Bishop Cordileone busies himself trying to keep gays from getting married and attempting to control the private lives and free speech of Catholic teachers. His need to make others obey him gives piety a bad name.
