Random Scandal Sheet for Sunday 6/22/14

What southern Florida is talking about this week:

To be clear, I'm not Catholic ... so I'll hide behind that fact in case this post crosses any lines (although I guess that means that he ultimately can't do to me what he did to the mafiosos [mafiosoes?] this weekend).

Has there been anyone else more willing to mix it up and shake off years of old-fashioned stodginess than Francis?  And isn't it about time?  I'm not sure if this all ends with the whole movement being disbanded or not but it's fascinating to watch.  [I'll let *you* decide exactly what I mean by "movement" here ...]
