I realised today that they have to be talking "witch hunt". It's the only way. They're going to investigate every seminary for 'signs of faggotry' (or however they put it)? Geez, how are they going to do that? Tell us, Brother X, eager young man hoping to rise in the Church, have you noticed any of your brothers in the seminary acting a little - you know? Maybe looking at other men a little too long? A little too much care with the personal appearance? Just an - odd feeling about one or two perhaps? Of COURSE we aren't asking you to betray anyone, we just want to HELP them ...

... really, you don't say? Not Brother Y, who outscored you on the last 3 quizzes and who you suspect is in line to be assigned to a plum parish when he's ordained? Well, let's just have an informal chat with Brother Y ...

... who better hope that he has more friends in high places than Brother X does.

It really is appalling.

I think God is more likely to send a saint than a lightning bolt, though. But what I really think will happen is that Pope Rat will die peacefully in his sleep before too much longer, of old age, not even ahead of schedule, and that it's the NEXT pope that's really going to matter. And any stupid things the Rat does in his time in power are going to melt like cobwebs in the rain within months of his departure.
