She was right the first time, she should not have apologized. Anyone who does not see the pope for what he is (a liberal) is blinded by their own desire to see him as "their guy." They manufacture a fantasy of what they want him to be, instead of dealing reality.
“Just to clarify my comment to Jake Tapper about Pope Francis, it was not my intention to be critical of Pope Francis. I was reminding viewers that we need to do our own homework on news subjects, and I hadn’t done mine yet on the Pope’s recent comments as reported by the media. Knowing full well how often the media mischaracterizes a person’s comments (especially a religious leader’s), I don’t trust them to get it right when it comes to reporting on the Vatican. I do, however, trust my many Catholic friends and family, including some excellent Catholic writers, who have since assured me that Pope Francis is as sincere and faithful a shepherd of his church as his two predecessors whom I admired. I apologize for not being clearer in my response, thus opening the door to critical media that does what it does best in ginning up controversy.”
Sounds like to me, Gov. Palin had some good advice there. By the way, if one actually watches the interview in question (http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/2013/11/12/sarah-palin-taken-aback-by-pope-franciss-liberal-statements/) objectively, she doesn’t even say flat out then that she “thought Francis was a liberal”. She said it sounds like he is,BUT she doesn’t want to base her opinion solely on what the media has reported on him. She even said that then, during the interview, and repeated it for clarity in her Facebook post quoted above (from Nov 14)
But go ahead, believe the media’s spin on Francis. THAT sounds like a good idea. (NOT)
Here’s an idea (mentioned upthread already): maybe he was nominated Man of the Year by Time because Time actually believes the leftist spin about him.
Like you apparently do.
There is no “second time”. This is from the interviews she was giving a month ago promoting her new book. She said it looked like some of his “views” were liberal. Then she says her Catholic friends told her the truth about Pope Francis’ views and she says she will not listen to the liberal media again without doing her own homework. And if she does start calling Francis a liberal, the question for her is what liberal does not believe in abortion, queer “marriage” and women clergy. Maybe the women pastors is a bad question to ask her because she goes to some holy roller church that have their own female versions of Jimmy Swaggart. By the way Sarab Palin was baptised Catholic and you only have to get baptised one time, no matter what she now calls herself. If her parents had not given up he faith their children would probably still be practicing Catholics and that includes Sarah Palin.
