We're going to take back the Church from the lilly-livered cowards (Rogers Mahoney?) and bring a new light of hope to the Catholics world-wide.
This is what my friend, Barb Kralis, thinks on this subject. I'm not Catholic, but I admire strong Catholics and their unshakable faith. From what I can see, Catholics might be called upon once again, to save Europe and therefore the world, from Islam, as happened twice before.
This might have been the thinking of the collegiate, when they selected Benedict XVI. He's a European Pope. While it's true that Latin America is also being targeted by islamofascists, the main threat now is Europe. Choosing a Latin Pope would probably not have answered the immediate, greatest threat as urgently, as choosing a German.
Thank you so much for your comment!

maybe they'll take a wrecking ball to the Taj Mahony while they'er at it... Hopefully Dr. Michael DeSanctis (designed it--ugly AS sin doesn't begin to describe it) is not a freeper, I talked to him numerous times, and sadly he got his grimmy hands on redesigning my parish's new building..
Keep the enlightened reforms in church policy (intermmariage, Catholic/Jewish relations) but for the love of God almighty, bring back the Latin Mass, and excommunicate David Haas and Marty Haugen
