The word 'arrogant' comes to mind after reading this,,,published just now apparently, and not before the death and burial of the Holy Father. How convenient, how cowardly. That's how evil works, IMHO.
This poor author, the poor dear. Imagine how frustrating it is to be a reporter for a paper when you really have all the righteousness and insight to solve the world's most serious problems. It must be such a strain on this poor fork-tongued serpent to have to slither around with the rest of the peons of the world.
I am sure PJPII has already blesssed this 'person' (ahem) and moved on to bigger and better spiritual things. I can only hope that some day I'll have even a fraction of the Holy Father's graciousness...right now...it's a little tough.
The Pope said no condoms, so the UN promptly sent tens of millions of them to Africa. It hasn't stopped them from spreading diseases, or raping babies in the mistaken impression that that will somehow 'cure' them. Blaming the Pope for the failures of man is like blaming the moon for the sun shining. Its rather backasswards.
