May 23, 2018 - That joking retort we heard as children, “Is the pope Catholic?” is starting to look like a serious question.

Asked five years ago about a “(homosexual) lobby” in the Vatican, Pope Francis responded, “If a person is (homosexual) and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?”

However, many Swiss citizens are refusing to take this assault on their unalienable rights and national sovereignty lying down.

Whatever his motivation for introducing the world to Apu, his character has predictably drawn the consternation of the politically correct police department.
