Well, you could use your common sense. Is it in the Catechism? Can you even IMAGINE JP2 saying that? Have you heard the rabble rejoicing in that? NO. It is a banal trivialization of TotB.
You know, I agree with you. It is a totally disgusting newsletter. I would be fried too. There is much good happening in the Catholic Church, and priests like this are on the way out, kicking and screaming all the way. It cannot happen soon enough, imho.
