So the left no doubt depressed as they can be with the selection of the new pope. There will be no new surprises discovered from the Bible, no discovery in the Bible of the right or duty to have an abortion. The new pope is obviously trouble for the enlightened.

The left is now aware that the Holy Father considers them the enemy, and he is not afraid to voice his feeling

When is the left going to face the fact that "normal people" (since I consider liberalism a mental disorder) do not like them and what they stand for. Even Homer Simpson gets it! DOH !

[big'ol_freeper]

This should be entertaining. The hissing and snarling from the snakes on the left has just begun.

that was clear in father malachi martin's book "the keys of this blood".

Their only hope now is for the Oxyrhynchus Papyri to turn up some missing books of the Bible which happen to provide justification for what they want to believe.

[Senator Pardek]

Very good - but the person who typed/edited this is obviously not a Catholic (nor am I, for the record.)

[WhiteGuy]

Rush- a thrice divorced, drug addicted entertainer speaks for American Catholics

- Classic!

[goldstategop]

A liberal Catholic Church is an oxymoron.

I'm not so sure Benedict XVII sees the left as the enemy. I think he is more concerned about leading the Catholic church. As a Christian I believe that I am a footsoldier for God, we are in a spiritual war against evil. The Pope may be of the same mindset and content to fight or lead his group in the manner he thinks God wants him to do. Politics will be politic and those on the right or the left will say and posture to influnce whomever they can. I don't think you can get to be the Pope by being swayed by popular opinion or the politics of the day. His job is to lead his flock.

RUSH: He's speaking in a bunch of different languages, for those of you in Rio Linda. There's nothing wrong here.

ROFL ;^D -- You just gotta love Rush!

[Ukiapah Heep]

I don't understand the anguish of the liberals over Papal selection. Many of them aren't Catholics in any case. Those that are angry enough could join another church. No flaming on this. I'm not Christian and don't understand why the liberal Catholics don't simply become Protestants if they hate this guy so much.

[upchuck]

Disclosure: I am not Catholic.

For some time I have felt the pendulum was beginning to swing back our way. Dubya and holding both houses of Congress is a start.

But today the pendulum got a major kick in the ass!

"The left is now aware that the Holy Father considers them the enemy, and he is not afraid to voice his feeling"

I am not certain whether Holy Father considers ANYONE enemy. Even if he does, He will most surely BE afraid to voice His feelings.
Please remember that every Christian is under the obligation to pray for his/her enemies.

[buckeyesrule]

Those Catholics have some nerve pre-empting most of the first hour of the Rush Limbaugh radio show today. LOL!

[kempster]

If the Republicans were in charge of picking a new Pope, the Cardinals would be taking a three week vacation to thin it over and then coming back to the Sistine Chapel to continue their selection process.

[longtermmemmory]

The left will just divert themselves to aboandoning the effort to rewite religion and they will go to rewrite the constitution.

I bet the left will try and use the Treaty power of the US government to rewrite the constitution by bypassing the constitution.

(what is "is")

[raccoonradio]

Shrum--wasn't he the one who said to Kerry on election night, "Can I be the first one to call you 'Mr. President'" ...LOL. Loser!!

Well, the papal announcement did come right at the start of Rush's show--good timing. But I can remember one bit of news that broke just AFTER Rush's show ended--when it was revealed the Jocelyn Elders was out of Surgeon General after suggesting that "masturbation was perhaps something that could be talk". On WRKO in Boston, Howie Carr was just getting on the air and he pounced on it--lots of funny jokes, etc.

But the consensus was that the Clinton administration announced the Elders news ON A FRIDAY AT 3 PM _just so_
it would be too late for Rush to deal with it! Think so?

[redgolum]

I expect the anti Christian and anti Catholic screeds to really increase now. JPII was the nice guy that even the liberals could like, while not agreeing with him. He just had that personality.

Benedict? Well, he is Bavarian, and they aren't really known for trying to cater to the press. They are more known for being blunt and honest. Should be an interesting first few months.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Help us out here, WHAT is it that liberals would like to do which they can't already do which a pope saying it was OK to do would make it better, easier, or more enjoyable for them?

Is it primarily getting a Pope to say that A, B, and C immoral things are now OK which is their focus?

It seems like what they don't like is someone with religious authority saying that certain things are wrong. But are not differences of opinion the essence of "multiculturalism"? Why is it wrong in liberal theory for there to be people who are Catholic who think and believe something different from liberal ideology? How does that square with the "tolerance" and "diversity" rhetoric? Seems like they want "conformity" and a totalitarian liberal dictatorship enslaved to secular humanism. Sort of like something out of a futuristic science fiction film where everything old or traditional is prohibited.
