What southern Florida is talking about this week:
... the continued adventures of our generation's badass pope.
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 ...]
