A Frothy Mix Quote of the Day


“I know his heart, and yet he will say things that I know he means innocently and I know they’re innocent.  But it can be taken by those, let’s just say not so innocent, to try to twist what his meanings really is.” -- Uber wingnut Rick "Frothy Mix" Santorum, presuming to speak for what Pope Francis really means when he says things that displease the Catholic right wing.  Perhaps Frothy Mix believes he's even more infallible than the Pope in terms of stating Catholic doctrine.  It wouldn't surprise us.

As a Jesuit intellectual long before he became Pope, Francis doesn't need a patronizing, theocratic hack like Frothy Mix to "interpret" what he means when he speaks of climate change, or reconciliation with the LGBT community, or of the moral dangers of unbridled capitalism.  He says what he means, whether or not Frothy Mix, Sweaty Bill Donohue, or anyone else likes it.
