Not shocking. What was shocking to the New York Time’s Nick Kristof? The fact that the new pope, Pope Francis I, is … Catholic.
Pope Francis seems liberal on social justice but sadly traditional on sexuality and contraception: http://t.co/uIx9c4iOmi

He’s sad that the pope is traditional. Why, oh why, can’t the pope be a secular, pro-abortion “feminist” like “superb” Hillary Clinton?! Next, a fellow New York Times reporter started “wondering” how Pope Francis I was involved in Argentina’s Dirty War.

Mr. Kristof retweeted it, of course.

They are just “asking questions,” you see.

. @NatalieNYT @NickKristof you going to link to any evidence about the Dirty War allegations and the Pope?
— Greg Pollowitz (@GPollowitz) March 13, 2013
Evidence, shmevidence!
@GPollowitz @natalienyt @nickkristof The key part was "I wonder"
— Pieroggi (@pieroggi) March 13, 2013
@natalienyt Nice insinuation. I'd be interested in the story, if there is one.

Standard operating procedure for lapdogs. Kristof continues whining.
Cardinals seem to realize the need for change in reaching for an Argentine who rides public buses. But I fear change is mostly style.

Now he’s sad and fearful! Twitter users kindly try to teach him about Catholicism and, you know, reality.
I just found out this Pope is pro-life? Whoa.

@IngrahamAngle @NickKristof Wonder if they would ever write an article that Muslims are sadly stone-aged on stoning and women's rights

Zing! It’s funny, because it’s true. Well, on the plus side, The New York Times is nothing if not predictable. So, there’s that.
