Can't you see that the MSM is trying to force the Pope to speak out?

They know at this time there is still a large group of malcontents,and/or poorly informed catholics as well as numerous infiltrators and impostors specifically dedicated to bring down the Church and the MSM and their controllers are doing their best to egg the Pope into speaking out prematurely.

Then they can interview a gaggle of the aforementioned,who will tell them that in this "New Order" the Pope is just a antediluvian dinosaur and nobody pays attention to him anyway.

It takes far more intelligence,patience,holiness and humility to hold ones tongue in the face of the attacks the Church is undergoing right now than to charge out there on the proverbial white horse and loudly proclaim the "truth" only find that many in your army had been seduced by the "father of lies".

I believe the Pope knows exactly what he's doing probably because the Holy Spirit guides him in all truth.

Really? I don't see that at all.

I see many of his flock of Catholics looking for the Pope to speak out.

Unfortunately, that train has pretty much left the station, and Obama got away with defining what "good" Catholicism is to the world with his speech (and for good measure defined abortion in his own terms).

Why is a simple Vatican condemnation of Obama so hard. Why the teeth pulling? Why push the underlings to the front of the stage, if at all to condemn this?

Moreover, how can this be a bad thing if the Pope responds to the controversy?

I don't get this at all, and your theory makes no sense. If the Pope has the moral high ground on the abortion issue, and he certainly does as well as possesses the criteria to define faithful Catholicism better than Obama who attempted to usurp that authority in his Notre Dame speech - why not respond?

Prematurely? For heavens sake - the time to strike was last week. That opportunity is past.

Obama connects while deflecting abortion furor

Now, we have a Vatican affiliated newspaper (that folks here are trying to tell everyone really isn't affiliated with the Vatican) praising Obama!

Then they can interview a gaggle of the aforementioned,who will tell them that in this "New Order" the Pope is just a antediluvian dinosaur and nobody pays attention to him anyway.

Fine. So? That is the excuse why he cannot respond? Because he will be criticized? Is that anyway for Christ's representative on earth to behave?

I've got news for you. Millions of Catholics are already seduced by Satan's lies. How many of them voted for Obama, Pelosi, Kennedy, Dodd, etc?

The latest poll has 67% of Catholics supporting Obama.

Poll: 67% of Catholics approve of the job Obama’s doing

Obama, Notre Dame: Catholics approve

I believe the Pope knows exactly what he's doing probably because the Holy Spirit guides him in all truth. I believe the Pope knows exactly what he's doing probably because the Holy Spirit guides him in all truth.

I certainly won't question the Holy Spirit being with the Pope - but I wouldn't say he is manifesting its courage right now.

God does not give us a spirit of timidity, but of boldness to defend Him.
