Speculation - His Holiness wants few barriers between his person and his flock. How else? His Boss had no bodyguards, and when the Time came, He suffered and died for His flock, no?
Hmmmn.
But notice even you - for all I respect your efforts - are falling for the theme of this story being pushed BY the enemy (the ABCNNBCBS media!)..
Notice that “they” (Obama’s media) are NOT even critizing or condemning the person who ATTACKED him, but rather condemning those who are protecting the Pope. It is during Mass on Christmas Eve.
Does your priest need a Knights of Columbus guard when he walks down the aisle? Of course not.
In this case, where he world’s condemnation of the woman who assaulted him in the “name” of HER “faith” (or was it in the worship of her liberal/socialist/atheist/sexual “religion” that is more accurate?)
