And what a sharp contrast between your usual line and this talk of "kowtowing" to the Pope.

No contrast at all.

I've blasted the Pope and this goofball Martino for nine months for being completely and totally wrong on the Iraq war.

Martino just can't keep his goombah mouth shut and embarasses himself with the country he formerly ministered to as nuncio every time he opens it.

American Catholics shake their heads when these metrosexual ecclesiastics, with their manicured nails, opine from luxury while our boys are dying so that others can be free.

goombah

Sinkspur what does goombah mean?

Tsk, Tsk, Deacon Kumbaya. Oh, my, you od'd on AmChurch ugly pills this morning.

Martino is, no doubt, a fool but "Goombah????" Is that what AmChurch pretenders think of Vatican officials or is that a term that you apply to Italians generally?

When was Martino ever Apostolic Nuncio to the United States?

Metrosexual ecclesiastics? Aren't you confusing him with your diocese's former BOY SCOUT director? Or your fellow students at the Dallas Pink Palace of yesteryear? Or many of the regular writers for the National "Catholic" Reporter?

You demean genuine patriotism by employing the phony kind to work out your AmChurch resentments against Rome.

Cannot wait for the day when Fort Worth has an actual Roman Catholic bishop installed to bring the minor clergy to heel.
