He demanded that the world’s major religions join forces — like a twisted version of the old Super Friends cartoon — to defeat gay marriage initiatives worldwide.

It saddens me. It gets harder and harder to defend being Catholic. In the course of history, of course, it won’t matter. Another Pope railing against reality. Too bad.
