The Better Class of Refugee

As one mediaeval potentate to another, the Pope has responded to the Trumpster's recent insults with a carefully measured fuck-you, appointing a sometime Salvadorian illegal immigrant as the church's chief henchman in West Virginia. As with our own Archbishop of Canterbury, who considered her talents too modest for a medical career, the appointee's initial vocation in janitorial and construction work apparently entailed insufficient humility and excessive material joy, besides the obvious moral flaw of mere worldly usefulness. Having moved to the US during the latter stages of the civil war in his own country, the appointee also has the advantage of presumed cleanliness from the taint of Liberation Theology, and of being politically shrewd enough to remove himself from the reach of the death squads by emigrating to the country that paid them.
