Spengler Snark

David P. Goldman, who channels Spengler, writes about the sad state of Christians in the Middle East and the predictable complicity of Pope Francis therein. Spengler snarks:
Francis is a pope for people who want the warm feeling of Catholicism without its obligations, and that is what makes him so popular.
Francis is especially popular among those to whom the Church of Rome has been neither holy nor relevant ... a strange constituency for a pope to pursue.
