Five Things That Haven’t Happened

1.  The Pope hasn’t gotten out of the bedrooms of good Catholics and claimed birth control is good.

2.  The Pope hasn’t ended the discrimination against homosexuals that wish to marry.

3.  The Pope hasn’t ended the discrimination against women who want to be priests.

4.  The Pope hasn’t stopped repressing priests from freely engaging their natural desires, e.g. allowing them to marry.

5.  The Pope hasn’t stepped on the authority of the various bishops around the U.S. for a one-time chance to deny communion to various people.

None of these things were unexpected.  If you were disappointed and surprised that any of these items didn’t occur, you may wish to evaluate how you came to the conclusion that they were likely to occur.  Before flaming on point 5, read it again and make sure you criticize the statement I made and not the one you wanted me to make.
