Will they ever learn?

I haven't written about the Catholics in quite a while.
The whole thing is simply too stupid to worry about.
But here I am again: This time with two issues:
Pope Franciscus spoke to members of the "Civil Service" of the Vatican and said that, in order for the Church to stay relevant in an ever deeper secularized world, it must reform.
Quoting the late Arch-Bishop of Milan he said: "The Church has stopped developing 200 years ago. Why does it not move?  Are we afraid?"
Dear Franciscus: I believe that the Church has developed backwards during the last 2000 years.
Start with the teachings of the man Jesus Christ and follow the development of his institution over the next two hundred  Centuries and you will have to admit that the whole movement went downhill from then onward. Until today where it is the most contradictory, most deceitful movement extant.

The second issue worthy of a line or two: 
Very recently, after the then governing Bishop Schwartz was moved to another position, ( that's what the Catholics are great at: a Criminal is not punished. He is just transferred to another post ) his successor, Archbishop Josef Marketz suggested that he would be in favor of abolishing the Celibate, and actually allow Priests to marry. In an interview he allowed that it would be easier for a Priest to work in his constituency, if he knew what Every Day Life was all about.
Now my imagination is clicking in: 
Joe gets a call from Rome... from the Franciscus himself, who tells Joe that this is a no-go. ... and who does he think he is, saying things like this in public.? The common folk might agree with it and where would we be then? Now you back out of this mess you got yourself into... and make it fast. You hear?"
The very next day the new Bishop told "Kathpress" that he was of course in favor of the Celibate, since the "unmarried state of Catholic Priests was the format of life chosen by Jesus Christ and the Priest would be free for his service to the people."

Now this is a quick change. quicker than you can find in a Vaudeville performance.
Today: No Celibate! Tomorrow: Yes, of course Celibate.
And these jokers aren't even ashamed of themselves.
