God Bless Our Pope ...

.
... because few of the children of this earth will.

But let's keep a count of the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales who leap up on to the parapet to bless, support and defend the Pope.

Equally, let's keep a list of those who by omission or commission let the Pope take the flak, especially the ones who damn him with faint praise.

And do we need Paddy Power to open a book for us to guess which list will be longer?

I think they are preparing themselves to negotiate with the lions in a collaborative way, rather than confronting them as that would surely be destructive...
