We may have seen a few RCs disagreeing with a Roman Catholic monarchist advocating despotism, but where is the Roman Catholic who rebukes Ratzinger's "global authority" initiative?

I don't know. I do know we need to support any that show up.

I'm happy to stand politically side by side any conservative Roman Catholic. But there just aren't that many around here or anywhere else.

We know 46% did not vote for 0. In that group there have to be some conservatives. They may not wish to say anything because defending their church is so closely connected to defending their faith. My only point is we need them if this country is going to be saved from the collapse we are headed towards.

Ratzinger showed the true intentions of the papacy, and they haven't changed in 500 years. Top-down control by a select few whose power of enforcement has "teeth."

I don't dispute that this is their goal. The point I've tried to make is a % of RC's in America will not agree with America surrendering her national soveriegnty and these RC's are allies.

lol. I agree completely.

Maybe one of the first steps in forging that coalition is to show some otherwise "conservative" RCs what the encyclical really says and its actual ramifications if put into practice.

See, sometimes the beginning of a clearer theological perspective actually begins with a clearer political perspective.
