She was right about him.
Why are you posting something from a month ago?
Why should she apologize for being right?
Call a spade a spade.. and leave it at that.
It doesn’t say what the Pope actually said without the media filter?
I haven’t been able to determine where I come down on Pope Francis yet. One thing I have noted, whenever I read published words of Pope Benedict I always understood exactly what he was saying. Much of the time when I read Pope Francis’ comments I don’t have a clue what his point is. It sounds like platitudes and obfuscation. That may be the media taking partial statements out of context or it may just be me. But it’s a phenomenon I’ve noticed.
Liberal Catholics have assured her?
Should this be under ‘Breaking News’ ??/
What’s your opinion?
She apologizes for something this mild while the libs let some of the worst bile come out of their mouths with no sanctions. See tagline.
Why is she stumbling so much of late? I was surprised to her book is #383 on Amazon 2 weeks before Christmas. Beck’s latest came out 4 days after hers and is #15.
Stop with the apologies already. It makes you look wrong and weak. The libtards do not care about the truth.
Personally, however, I don't think any human is infallible.
This might be a good place to repost something I’ve posted before on this subject. The Washington Post also doesn’t quite tell the full story IMO:
“Just to clarify my comment to Jake Tapper about Pope Francis, it was not my intention to be critical of Pope Francis. I was reminding viewers that we need to do our own homework on news subjects, and I hadn’t done mine yet on the Pope’s recent comments as reported by the media. Knowing full well how often the media mischaracterizes a person’s comments (especially a religious leader’s), I don’t trust them to get it right when it comes to reporting on the Vatican. I do, however, trust my many Catholic friends and family, including some excellent Catholic writers, who have since assured me that Pope Francis is as sincere and faithful a shepherd of his church as his two predecessors whom I admired. I apologize for not being clearer in my response, thus opening the door to critical media that does what it does best in ginning up controversy.”
Sounds like to me, Gov. Palin had some good advice there. By the way, if one actually watches the interview in question (http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/2013/11/12/sarah-palin-taken-aback-by-pope-franciss-liberal-statements/) objectively, she doesn’t even say flat out then that she “thought Francis was a liberal”. She said it sounds like he is,BUT she doesn’t want to base her opinion solely on what the media has reported on him. She even said that then, during the interview, and repeated it for clarity in her Facebook post quoted above (from Nov 14)
So in reality, Gov. Palin never had anything to apologize for, other than not being clear (to some people’s ears). Again, she clearly said in the interview if that it “sounds like” (Pope Francis) is “liberal”, but that she didn’t wish to base such an opinion on what the media has reported on Pope Francis. That she believed then (and still did as of Nov 14) that it was best for EVERYONE to look at ALL the facts themselves (which necessarily means not just isolated quotes of the Pope, taken OUT of context) and base one’s opinion on same, NOT just the media’s spin!
Something, it seems, many FReepers are neglecting to do. I wonder why, all of a sudden, when the Pope is the story or anything Catholic, it seems as though more than a few are willing to gobble up what the media reports alone, and “run” with it. Never mind, I think I know the answer to that question.

Thanks again to Sum Pro Vita.
Many years ago our local big-city newspaper said that a recent Pope’s encyclical said that a Catholic widow was not allowed to re-marry.
It took several weeks and many complaints for the paper to apologize and to print the actual words in the Pope’s encyclical which were that when a woman was used to a healthy and normal sex life with her husband, she sometimes resorted to trysts after her husband’s death in order to assure herself that she was still appreciated as a woman, and that she must not fall into that trap.
Quite a difference between the truth and the paper’s original reporting.
Why, she was and is 100% correct....
So there you go...she relied on the media, said she was relying on the media and noted that she reserved the right to change her position based on the facts...
So the MEDIA ought to apologize for misleading the public.
But why would the media apologize for that? It misleads ALL the time.
He’s a JESUIT.....they almost ALWAYS have LIBERAL leanings!!! Luckily it’s just in this so far and not in GAY MARRIAGE, MARRIED PRIESTS, WOMEN PRIESTS, ABORTION!!!!!
“Palin apologizes”
Why?
