I haven’t been following this story too closely. What was the rationale behind supporting this Bishop?

Listen. I'm a Baptist, but this Catholic-bashing in the press is making me ill. The Pope DID NOT "rehabilitate a bishop. The man never was and is not now a bishop in the Catholic Church. He's a screwball who is a bishop in his own mind. The Pope merely ruled that he could receive communion. Period.

The degenerate western liberals who are trying to destroy America from within as they have destroyed western Europe are apparently at “it” again, the “it” being distorting facts to undermine Christian churches which are Orthodox on matters of faith and morals.

This self-destruction is why Islam is making such inroads in the west.

Despite what the atheists and liberals claim, there is an inherent recognition in most human beings of the existence of God and the need for a moral order. The vacuum these liberals are creating is generating fruitfull soil for the hate filled fanatics who follow Mohammad.

The media/world opinion of this has nothing to do with SSPX; however, it does have everything to do with the liberals trying to remove the greatest threat to their moral existence in a very long time. Simply put, they hate Pope Benedict with a passion and will use any excuse to try and “remove” him.

As any good bomber pilot will tell you, the flak gets heavier as you approach the most sensitive targets. For the international left to be squealing like this means that BXVI is a major threat. We, however, must be vigilant about the left’s responses and means of retaliation. The left is preparing a counter campaign modeled upon their effective counter to the moral authority of the Church in the 1930s in Germany. There will be a two pronged approach. The first will be when the left attempts to counter balance the significance of the Church by seemingly embracing non-Catholic and anti-Catholic denominations and sects. The second will be an all out legal and publicity assault on the Church and its leaders and institutions in the form of high publicity “Immorality Trials”.

Let me see if I have this right: Last summer BHO visited Berlin and was wildly received by an adoring crowd of 200,000 people in that socialist stronghold. Hitler, too, attracted enormous and enthusiastic crowds in Germany as well.

Ronald Reagan travelled to Berlin and bravely challenged Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall!” RR did not get nearly the crowd the messiah received last summer.

And now we have Pope Benedict XVI, a traditional Catholic, the best Pope of my lifetime, being attacked and reviled by his own pathetic, socialistic, and secular countrymen.

What is it with Germany? Give me the Pope and Ronald Reagan any day of the week. The krauts can have their phony rabble rousing messiahs and shove them where the sun don’t shine.
