Liberals are so happy that the Pope seems to be bashing conservatives, that they are ready and willing to accept that women will never ever be ordained.[Hat tip to C.B.]
The “Joy of their Gospel” is to see conservatives get whacked. They are so overjoyed, as a matter of that, that they are willing to sacrifice their flagship.
Yes, you will find a few waayyyy out on the even leftier fringe of their fleet – you know, the Gray Panthers – for whom Francis denial of women’s ordination this is still a problem. But, for the most part, Francis hit their liberal sweet spot so perfectly that they are taking the bitter hit amidships.

Soooo . . . Francis is not only a stealth conservative, he is the most scintillatingly sly and skillful conservative strategist in the Church's history. All that liberal bumpkin badinage -- part of the plan, man! The modernists are clearly in disarray, if not panic. Don't they know they have been played by the Argentine master manipulator? Der Panzerkardinal's thin lips break into a barely perceptible grin: so the pupil has outdone the master! The modernists are his little ball of yarn!!
