It's just one of those articles where you laugh and just roll your eyes. I knew sooner or later the frustrated liberals in the press trying to be activists instead of reporters and the liberal lay community would start trying to push groups like Call to Action and the Voice of the Faithful which used the scandal as an impetus for the liberal Catholics in the group to push their hidden, Marxist, liberation-theology agenda.
The liberals in the Church and the Press still can not get over their loss in the presidential election and are now hedging towards a John-Kerry like Pope, pushing for one of the more-liberal South American Cardinals to be named a pope ignoring the Nigerian Cardinal Francis Arinze and other more traditional Cardinals. What they don't know is that even if a liberal cardinal was named, he may speak ill of capitalism but he will not acquiesce with the traditional tenets of the church: abortion, embryonic stem cells, population control, birth control, euthanasia and gay marriage.
The reporters, as usual, failed to note that Call to Action members can be excommunicated and I think some were in Nebraska.
And I have to laugh that the reporters found a democrat, catholic politician who claimed to be a self-described "conservative" Catholic and asked this person questions that the liberals want to hear. The Pope isn't buried and yet they can't keep out their liberal agendas and mouths shut while the world mourns. Shame on all of them.
Imagine, a Pope being authoritarian...What's Catholicism coming to?
I'll point out that every time there is a poll of the "majority of American Catholics" they never say whether their sample achieves the minimum level of Catholicity: (1) Do you attend Sunday Mass regularly and (2) If you are married, are you married in the Church?
"...polls show..."
My favorite. Polls are a bunch of horse manure and all the arguments that are backed by "polls show" are bunk.
A quick google shows she is a democrat, what a shock!!!!

Jesus Christ had his critics as well.
If Cardinal Arinze is elected to be the next Pope I wonder how long it will be before the Libs call him an Uncle Tom?
Liberals. If you don't believe what the Church teaches then go form your own church just like the gazillion protestant sects did.
For the record, Nancy Pelosi describes herself as a conservative, traditional Catholic.
Polls have shown the majority of American Catholics out of step with church doctrine on issues such as contraception, divorce, homosexual unions, married clergy, and women priests, even as they praised the pope's stance on Third World debt relief and opposition to the Iraq war.
At least they got this right..."the American Catholics are out of step with Church doctrine", not that Church doctrine out of touch with the American Ctholics, which is the way they usually posit it.
How quickly they applied label of "priest sex abuse" to bunch of homosexuals who creeped into the ranks of the church. I have not seen that outcry of "american sex abuse" by our lovely gay compatriots was attributed to America and President and demanding apologies.
When Jewish rabbi molested young boys you didn't hear echoes through MSM and lawsuits.
Well of course - you can't agree with everything someone says, that's hardly a flaw.
In the United States and Latin America, John Paul left a church with declining membership, short on clergy....
I don't know about the US, but the church is most certainly NOT in decline in Latin America - it's part of the Third World - it's on the rise in those parts of the World!
