Well, here's some fun.

The Large-Hatted One stated–before he got his new sombrero: "We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism that has at its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires."

Is it just me, or is it ironic that the guy who now has a stranglehold on the spirituality of 1 billion+ people, (their number, as I understand it) and wants to maintain the orthodoxy of those 1 billion+ people, is bitching about, to paraphrase using his words, "the absolute rule of belief in non-absolutes?"

Well, what else can we expect the guy who now has that kind of absolute power–and an absolute power supposedly gifted to him by God–to say? Jeff Jarvis is right: the dinosaurs roar.

And people who don't need a go-between to talk to the Almighty respond with a yawn.

Update: As FutureWire called attention to, only 20% of American Catholics are sheep, at least in regards to following the teaching of the Large-Hatted One. Three-fourths prefer to think for themselves, schmuck. There is some comfort in this.
