...Pope Paul VI's Easter-time blast at resigning Catholic priests [April 19] is staggering even to those of us who have become relatively inured to the aberrant nature of papal statements in recent years.

Not long ago, for example, he tossed his wallet onto the Communion table and offered to bet $1,000 that nobody in the congregation could prove to him that...
