As long as I'm being opinionated, the following less than charitable thought also occurred to me.

Between the Dallas conference and the article on Emily Stimpson's blog where USA reports that 90% of American Catholics want more government control of the Church, I've begun to wonder how we'll spend our thirty silver pieces. Hey if we are going to turn the 'Body of Christ' over to the control of the secular authorities, we might as well get paid for it.
