Over at Think Progress they want us to believe that the new Archbishop of Chicago is the harbinger of a new age for the Catholic Church in America. Don't believe it.
Francis himself has brought, and will bring, no substantive change to the Catholic Church. He is simply better at PR than his Nazi loving predecessor. There is nothing better in this world that to be the successor of a very easy act to follow, and Benedict was certainly that. Both Francis and the new guy in Chicago simply want you to believe that, if they could, they'd be more than happy to be in favor of women's rights, contraception, gay rights, etc., but, gosh darn it, god says they can't be, so what can moderate guys like them do, save speak a little more gently but continue to do god's work?
