Yeah. Politics are nasty. The real problem, like the Pope, is Pres. Obama is not a leader. Pres. Obama is crying all the problems is because he doesn’t have 60 U S Senators. His party controls the senate. Pres. Obama can tell Senator Byrd to pound sand and get rid of the filibuster.
Benedict has a real opportunity to cleanse the church but considering his past I expect more of the same.
It’s akin to Jimmy Swaggart crying big tears into a camera after getting caught with a prostitute, “Lord, forgive me, I have sinned...again.”
People are tired of hypocrisy and scandal. This is why non-denominational churches are experiencing explosive growth.
The only problem is there is no substance to coffee, jeans and Jesus theology.
