“if by ‘manipulated’ you mean not to accept the RCC slant on every news item regarding this particular church leader”

No, I mean the “slant” which ignores the conservative things this pope says and does because it doesn’t fit a caricature of him. An example of this is the ignoring of his condemnations of gay marriage which have been every bit as forceful as Benedict’s. The majority of this pope’s statements are very conservative but they are swept under the rug by many here because they destroy the slanted caricature of him.

Naw. Cannot buy that reverse reverse "slant" which is nothing but confusing.

Not my pope. YOUR il Papa.
