What’s Next, the Far-Left Will Then Blame Karl Rove for the Conclave’s Vote?

This AFP article is a revolving conundrum of liberal cognitive dissonance and reality denial in action.

The international liberal media is a cult. - POLIPUNDIT

I'm liking this guy more and more.

The word has obviously gone out from the secular popes at the NY Times, the networks, and the left wing agitator groups to kill Benedict XVI before he can even get in one full day on the job.

I am not Catholic, in fact I disagree with many of the teachings of this particular church. I respect the character of this new pope in standing firm against relativism!

The lefties think that the Holy Father is just another political person to be bent to their will.

I am not Catholic and believe that many elements of the RCC's doctrine is false but I am glad that Ratzinger is the Pope. I believe this is a good thing for the RCC and the nations it has influence in.

What if it were God's fault and the Holy Spirit was whispering in people's hearts what they should do?

What you said!

Seriously, I am surprised at the number of hit peices which have come out already and his Papacy is not yet 24 hours old. Not even 12 hours!

Does he scare the libs so much or os it his conservatism? Or is it the Iron Fist of the Vatican now rules?

What were they expecting? What in the world were they expecting?

"...Pope Benedict XVI, intervened in the 2004 US election campaign..."

You know, it wouldn't surprise me if some nut starts complaining about the supposed "wall" separating church and state over this.

Then again, maybe they already have, I didn't read the whole story, just what you posted.

Too late to challenge it. Karl Rove has already had the cardinals burn the ballots to prevent a recount.
