"Just 'cause I'm Catholic doesn't mean I'm stupid." . . . Please come CAPTION Jeb Bush!!!!




Jeb ("Hispanic as I wanta be&quot Bush is saying: "I mean, it's only logical. The Pope should worry about our individual souls. . . . The fate of the planet is too important to be left to the Pope! . . . It should be decided by a more knowing, more compassionate, more deliberative and, shall we say it?, more-spiritual group: that is . . . politicians!"


*************************************************************

Above CAPTION based on the following Huffington Post story:

"Numerous press reports are saying that Pope Francis has a master's degree in chemistry, including one that incorrectly cites me as a source. Sorry, it is not true.

What he did do was graduate with a título in chemistry from the Escuela Técnica Industrial No. 12*, which is a state-run technical secondary school.

In the Argentine system, "the título (same word used for a secondary diploma or a university degree) was earned at about age 19 after an extended secondary program," Liebscher said. "Not everyone who goes to secondary school gets one of those diplomas, and the título really represents something beyond our high-school diploma, something akin a certificate from a community college in the U.S."
