Well, all this is well and goid, except for the fact that THE POPE DID NOT TAKE IT TO ROME!!!!!!! (Sorry for “shouting”—I can’t do the code stuff on the iPod.)

The Pope basically treated the gifts as an embarrassment to the Bolivians. He indicates that he was grateful to receive a gift, but was never happy about it, then he left the gift in a chapel, offered to Mary. He acted the way a mother would to receive a totally inappropriate gift from a child who knows no better: she loves the child, but hates the present.

It's unfortunate to see that the right wing media is just as dishonest and intellectually corrupt as the left wing media. But then what is there to expect? Don't put our faith in men. Here Prager is simply making stuff up: "the pope declares free-market capitalism, the one economic system that has lifted masses of people out of poverty, to be largely evil (“the dung of the devil”)" As you know, the Pope condemned avarice, greed and the idolatry of money, as did all his predecessors and anyone else with any moral sense.

Nonsense....the Pope stopped and prayed at the burial site of the Priest who designed that cross....who was a fellow Jesuit.... And this before he was presented with the cross....further he wasn't the least bit concerned over this gift...as pictured here when he accepted it...
