La Trahison des Clercs
The Internet is awash with bitter old hippy priests crowing about how no one wants to see the Holy Father while he is here. They are sending back their parishes' allocated tickets as part of their efforts to "prove their point". Exactly as a shortage of celibate male priests has been contrived in the handful of countries where any such shortage is apparent, so that those who have contrived it, the same people as in this case, can go moaning to Rome about the need for the large-scale ordination of married men and for the "ordination" of women.
