The Erotic Decoy

So the first Encyclical is out, and it's pure Ratz. He hasn't changed his style one bit, hasn't gone all Papal, so to speak. No, it's the old Joe we used to know, thank God. And there is good hope that he has not changed in any other regard either. I can just see that Encyclical on the liturgy... But before then, I dream of a Curial purge. And in my fantasy, the Erotic Encyclical is but a decoy. While the world rejoices in this loving Pope, and everyone is praising his wisdom and insight into the deep mysteries of God and man, letters of re-assignation are being posted in the Vatican, and monsignori are waking up to the news that they will never be vescovi, and vescovi to their horror are realising that the sacred purple will never be theirs; the mighty are cast down from their thrones, and the humble are exalted. Let's see. But answer me this. How long did it take the Pope to write this encyclical. I'd say about an afternoon or two. So what is he spending his days at? He's not meeting many people, nor travelling, nor lying in bed watching TV. No, he's working away at something. Yeah, the purge!
