Funny a few years back we were trying to defend Pope Benedict and had Free Republic been around in 1978 we would have had to defend John Paul II.
The media is going to see what they want to see.
I find it ironic how we distrust the media when it goes after one of our political "sacred cows". But when it's the Pope then it must be true? The same media? I don't trust Reuters, I don't trust NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, The NYT etc. But if they write about the Pope they are all of a sudden pure? Also these bloggers and the like who are these people? There have always been dissenters. Over the years you see that the dissenters and detractors get far more attention then the defenders.
