You will be assimilated; it is His Will.
I haven't got a lot to do with the Pope, as it happens. But your comment aligned adults with children, who not responsible for their actions, whereas adults are. You seemed to be advocating a 'do what you want policy' in one sense, which makes no sense. I say that because you don't appear to care how adults dress.As a public service, you ought to explain your version reality to the Pope. Apparently, he's also "not really in tune" with it. Observe:
"I have been deeply disturbed by the information which has come to light regarding the abuse of children and vulnerable young people by members of the Church in Ireland, particularly by priests and religious. I can only share in the dismay and the sense of betrayal that so many of you have experienced on learning of these sinful and criminal acts and the way Church authorities in Ireland dealt with them." ~ PASTORAL LETTER OF THE HOLY FATHER POPE BENEDICT XVI TO THE CATHOLICS OF IRELAND
"[The Holy Father] assures all concerned that the Church will continue to follow this grave matter with the closest attention in order to understand better how these shameful events came to pass and how best to develop effective and secure strategies to prevent any recurrence." ~ PRESS RELEASE OF THE HOLY SEE PRESS OFFICE ON THE MEETING OF THE HOLY FATHER, BENEDICT XVI, WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF THE IRISH EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE AND SENIOR OFFICIALS OF THE ROMAN CURIA, 11 DECEMBER 2009
"Another matter which has received much attention in recent months, and which seriously undermines the moral credibility of Church leaders, is the shameful abuse of children and young people by priests and religious." ~ MEETING WITH THE BISHOPS OF ENGLAND, SCOTLAND AND WALES, ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI
"It is in the context of this hope born of God’s love and fidelity that I acknowledge the pain which the Church in America has experienced as a result of the sexual abuse of minors. No words of mine could describe the pain and harm inflicted by such abuse. It is important that those who have suffered be given loving pastoral attention." ~ HOLY MASS (Extract from the HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI, Washington Nationals Stadium, Thursday, 17 April 2008)

Do us all here a favor and let us know how he takes it, OK?
And as for the Pope's comments (if they are indeed his) I skimmed them; they seem to be just as disgusted as the rest of us.
