If it wasn’t that, it would be something else.

One measure of a man is the nature of his enemies.

Pope isn’t politically correct. He is just correct. Sex is the principal cause of HIV. Condoms encourage sex. Go figure.

The bashing of the Pope and with it his moral authority is not a sudden fad or the result of any misstatements on his part. It is the execution of a long planned out strategy by the left.

Communists and socialists have been blunted by the American form of government because of the underlying principle that we are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights. In order to make the state supreme they must destroy God.

As audacious as this might seem it is following the script written and acted out in the 1930's by the Nazi's. Through a concerted strategy of ridicule, legal and financial restrictions and culminated in the "Immorality Trials" the moral authority of the Church was removed as an obstacle to the crimes against humanity that soon followed.

This Pope, because of his courage and clarity has stepped into the cross hairs. He needs and deserves the full support of all Christians, not just Catholics.

It’s amazing how that set them off. Abortion and condoms seem to be the sacraments of the press. Th article is full of people frothing at the mouth about how the Pope is tryng to prevent them from having sex, although it’s a little hard to see how they got all that out of those few words.

I once read an observation that “all heresies begin below the belt.” Guess that’s being proved true.
