I think your opinion here is incorrect and uncharitable - but it is an opinion you are certainly entitled to.
He has no real unction from God.
Here you're just trying to pass off your speculation as fact - you don't speak authoritatively for God.
More to the point, doc, you claim to have read my post #185 - and yet you ignore its content.
What the Pope actually said - that the US and President Bush have a God-given right to pursue justice by whatever means we deem appropriate - and what you and Yahoo News are dishonestly accusing him of saying are two different things. I know that you have your pet theological hypotheses about the Catholic faith, etc., etc.
However to twist what someone actually said in such a devious way is beneath a Christian. The Pope endorsed the US reaction to the mass murder at the WTC and yet you accuse him of the opposite based on one paraphrased sentence from a secular news outlet which is famous for its hippy-style peacenik spinning.
I know you're better than that, doc. And it doesn't help to use religion to try and split Americans when we should be standing in solidarity. I'm not using the National Council of Churches version of Protestantism as a stick to beat you with in this critical hour. I'd appreciate it if you didn't use the Yahoo News version of Catholicism as a weapon against me.
What you have failed to realize is that religious revival is more important than defeating human terrorists. And we are not clearly seeing any such revival at this time, even if many people think so.
We are just seeing increased God-consciousness by people.
This is why I am trying to help you, friend. No kidding.
(It's a thankless job, alas!)
