Is the Cardinal Etchegaray you scorn the same Roger Cardinal Etchegary of France, just appointed Deputy Dean of the College of Cardinals by the most senior voice in "....the Vatican....", Pope Benedict XVI?
Drobot,
Your attempts to prove that a retired Cardinal is "the Vatican" (while JP II, Tomko, and Nugent aren't "the Vatican") are silly. Just give it up.
I just had a revelation. I remembered a scene from Ghostbusters II.
At one point Bill Murray is discussing his laundry with Sigourney Weaver. He says, (paraphrase) "the problem with women is that they only view laundry as either clean or dirty."
"I however believe there are many subtle levels in between, take this shirt for instance, if I put it out on the balcony for an hour, it's as good as new."
Basically the writers of Ghostbusters must be on the same intellectual level as the Vatican.
Holy Mother Church has always taught that she only wants clean laundry or laundry that needs a cleaning.
Nowadays we can slime around in clothes of whatever "subtle" degrees of clean and dirty are available.
The C P A are basically dirty laundry that if we think about it through the eyes of "Peter Venckmen" as opposed to Thomas Aquinas we can accept.
That's a nice thought isn't it? Nothing like unity with dirty laundry.
Hmm...I wonder if there are more correlations between Ghostbusters II and Vatican II? Aside from both sucking compared to the first ones, I'd have to think about it some more.
