I will need to pray to prevent my anger from turning to bitterness.

I agree with you totally.

I am also going to write a letter to the Holy Father and cc Hoyos,Ratzinger,Arrinze and Re,expressing my profound sadness with his choice of a man,who at the very best is a "weak sister".

I know the effects of a letter from a "nobody" from Phoenix,that will be read by some faceless clerks in the Vatican,will be miniscule,if not less. Nonetheless,I will know that I transmitted a small particle of truth,addressed to those who Jesus Christ charged with keeping and spreading His Truth.

And most important I will just keep praying.

Gosh, if I write the Holy Father in Latin, do you think he'd be more likely to read it?

This sure doesn't sound good.

Great minds think alike! I also am working on a letter to the Holy Father. I have never sent Rome a letter like this before. I've been checking the Vatican website trying to figure out where to send it. Maybe the Holy Spirit is sending us a message and Catholics from around the country, and Atlanta in particular, will inundate the Vatican with a flood of letters too large to ignore.
