Next thing we'll hear is that a Newsweak poll was taken and 75% want the Pope to resign.

Wouldn't surprise me! The liberal media effectively treat the Pope as just another politician. I've noticed that in particular at the time of papal visits to the US. Church representatives will invariably be asked questions along the lines "59% of Catholics favor a relaxation of rules on contraception and abortion. Isn't the church going to have to change to stay relevant?"

The media see the church in political terms rather than understanding the church's view of itself as the defender of eternal, immutable truths.
