The pope has no control of what magazine decided to put him on the cover.
And good heavens, what is going on in those other pictures?
Mr. Bergoglio :shocked: I concur did not choose which magazine he is going to be on. This one is kind of a cheap shot :judge:. However I think what the OP was trying to get across is that you will never see a St. Pius X sort of figure be on the front of the magazine! Just imagine that!
It is a sign of how acceptable he is to the modern world, that his religion is quite compatible with all the other abominations which that magazine actually puts out.
This is a very important point, you will not see articles of Gregorian chant, or the life of the Saints on Adult men's magazines... Business men and advertisers choose their pictures based on marketing principles. You do not try to send people contradictory signals, "Don't buy this magazine" and at the same time "Buy this magazine."
