Atheist Penn Jillette Defends the Pope and Catholic Orthodoxy

CNN’s Piers Morgan asked Penn Jillette, author of Every Day is an Atheist Holiday , what he thought of the pope’s resignation. His response?

“I think I may be somebody who believes in the Pope’s position more than most Catholics . . . . if you have someone who is a conduit to God and is speaking God’s word, even if you can’t understand exactly what God’s plan is . . . that still doesn’t mean you get to vote on what God actually believes.”
