A Letter to Pope Francis (signatures needed)

[Anomalocaris]

Observer status isn't a recognition of statehood.  The ICRC is an observer since 1990 yet nobody's arguing the Red Cross is a country.

And, of course, the larger point I’ve tried to make is that it’s a lost cause to expect that A) the law has a reasonable chance of convincing the Church to change or B) society will fill the gap and convince the Church to reform like the petition suggests the Pope should do.

I don’t think it is a lost cause to marginalize the RCC to the point of being a queer obscure sect on a time horizon of 1-2 centuriesz
