The Pope is one of the very few Church leaders who consistently has spoken to the issue of the culture of death that infects this country, whether it be abortion, euthanasia, etc.
Did you not just see the beatification of Mother Theresa of Calcuta this weekend by the Holy Father specifically because of her great work for the dying poor?! Think before you write. Try praying for Terri instead of throwing stones at other Christians!
I know he's been ill lately, but his silence in this matter is just a shame. And there's no good excuse for the Catholic leadership (for lack of a better description) here.
Much as I can't stand the Catholic leadership, I do like this Pope and pray for his health.
