POPE FRANCIS the CON-Christ.

Former president of Ireland, Mary McAleese, said there was “just something profoundly wrong and skewed” about asking “150 male celibates” to review the Catholic Church’s teaching on family life. “The very idea of 150 people who have decided they are not going to have any children, not going to have families, not going to be fathers and not going to be spouses – so they have no adult experience of family life as the rest of us know it – but they are going to advise the pope on family life; it is completely bonkers,” she said.

Now you go, girl! Go Mary McAleese, go! That was a big punch in the nose of Pope Francis or better still…a kick in his podgy papal butt!

Mary McAleese also added her observations of Pope Francis who said he wanted a new role for women in the church but senior roles in the Vatican continue to be filled by men in a manner which lacked transparency. “You don’t need a new theology of women, you just need to end the old boys club,” she said.
