With no offense intended
towards the Pontiff
he probably doesn't sing
like Joe Cocker did
but when he diagnoses the Church
with the "disease of feeling immortal"
and a "pathology of power"
that leads to the delusion
of feeling that "they are superior
to others
and not here
for the service to others"
he certainly knows how to say
that we only get by
with a little help
from our friends.
