I believe in an america that is officially neither catholic, protestant nor jewish; where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the pope, the national council of churches or any other ecclesiastical source; where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials; and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all.

The question is gonna be, what is the pope doing? for whom is the pope doing it, if the pope is doing it for anybody? but that's gonna be what it boils down to: what is the pope doing here? why? and i'll tell you this. the more establishment figures - and the pope qualifies as an institutional leader, and therefore the pope would qualify in many people's eyes as an establishment figure, particularly this pope, who has not hidden his ideological alignment, much less his political alignment.
