We Have a Pope

It'd be easy to read WHAP as anti-Catholic satire, but that reading misses Moretti's other targets -- news media, psychology, sports, the arts, nuclear family -- things that might replace or fortify religion but here seem inadequate to filling a leaderless void. As the Pope rejects spiritual fatherhood's responsibility, his would-be followers retreat into trivial distractions. The Internet, unmentioned, looms large.
