He will grovel on the floor to wash the feet of non-Catholics on Holy Thursday but he refuses to kneel before the Lord of all.
Pity the poor, loyal sacristan who continues to put out the prie-dieu just in case he has a conversion.
I imagine that one day, not too long from now, this pompous, arrogant, heretic will be brought to his knees.
May it be a moment before his death and his pleading for forgiveness for all his heresy, sacrilege and cover up of perverts.
Or not.
