The pope is the all-round "no-man"; who could take him seriously? Even his own followers regard him as somewhat of a fictional character. He is an entertainer: Mr. Pope and his pope-mobile - like Santa Claus and his sleigh.
Whether or not Santa Claus really exists is irrelevant to us: what matters to us is the fantasy.
The clergy
It is fitting that the Christian priest wear a dog-collar; for he is led on a lead.
Today's furor in the Church is over the question of a woman's right to ordination. This is quite foolish because there is no clergyman who is not in reality a woman. There is not a man among them. In any case, the whole debate is quite laughable, and people are worrying themselves unnecessarily about nothing, for Christianity simply does not exist! Who could drag it into the twentieth century? Who could reform it?
