Would seem if the pope disagreed, the 'nitwit' would be gone...
It's hard for me to believe that anyone as smart as Pope Benedict XVI would have much use for an interior decorator (which is what Martino spent his time at the Holy See's UN Mission doing), a CD-rapper-priest with oil-for-food vouchers' toady of Saddam and a gun-running archbishop in his entourage (which is what Father Benjamin is), and an assorted gang of anti-USA ideologues (which are what Tauran and Hmao are/were) . . .
hard for ME to believe, as one who loves and is proud of our Pope, but you go to it if that works for you.
Martino, Tauran, Hmao, Benjamin, Cappucci, geeeesh!
