Pope politics
Father O’Riely and father O’Brien
Father O’Brien.
Yes father O’Riely.
What do you make of these head lines?
Cardinal O’Shey has formally apologized to the pope for his radical public statements on modernizing the church.
Yes father O’Riely I know, but did you know the inside story? Cardinal O’Shay’s been angling for the pope’s job for some time now.
He’s apologizing so he can attract media attention.
