He should start by ensuring ALL priests found to be raping children get sent to prison and then keeping his big argie mouth shut about anybody's sexuality apart from his own. As if anybody would be bothered if he shags TMBOA.

I am constantly amazed that so called intelligent people believe this shit, especially when they have this cretin for a pope.
