Pope should resign

 Sinead O'Connor, that is. We should recall that she is an ordained catholic woman. Yes; that tells you that she is officially excommunicated because she has attempted to take holy orders from a 'wondering bishop'. So we should hear what she says as not being without sympathy to the Christian faith (her album Theology which is mostly soulful musical renderings of various of the Psalms helps demonstrate that).
"'Catholic' has become a word associated with negativity, with abuse, with violence, but the essence of Catholicism is beautiful. The fact is, tragically, it's been brought into disrepute by the people running it."
That's a wake up call to all institutional church, I think.
