[Belteshazzar]

As a serious Lutheran I do not accept the basis of the claim for papal authority. However, E. J. Dionne - who ought not be allowed by his editorial superiors even to undertake such an article - proposes what is sheer nonsense on any number of levels. The amount of thought he devoted to the article could be contained in a very, very small container. He is simply pandering to ill-thought out leftist sensibilities. As such it is shameful and insulting to any thinking Catholic, and thinking Catholics far, far outnumber the thinking Dionne’s of this world. So, for whatever it’s worth, my Catholic neighbors, you ought to be offended by such tripe. I am.

I am offended by all of these charlatans who live lives that could hardly survive the scrutiny of the humblest fellow Catholic, having the chutzpah to lecture the faithful on selection of the Pope.

Thank you Belteshazzar. Tis a pleasure to be offended in serious Lutheran company!
