The Pope is speaking truth!

That means the Pope better get busy.

Among other things, he needs to seriously start excommunicating "Catholic" politicians who steal the Catholic vote by crapping all over the Church's positions on abortion and "gay" issues in Congress and as well as state legislatures.

[Dionysius]

The polticians you mentioned have excommunicated themselves by their secular-based “pick and choose” brand of Catholicism which is no Catholicism at all. I would add to the list those whom engage in bizarre, narcissistic rituals of their own creation which fly in the face of Canon Law such as ordinations of women “priests”, co-celebrated, hippie-esqe services with ministers of other faiths, and, of course, gay marriages.

That means the Pope better get busy.

I rather think it means we all "better get busy."

[Salvation]

**That means the Pope better get busy.**

He has already been busy in the U. S, replacing bishops that have strayed or are retiring.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Darn right. That's the individual bishops' job, but they could use a papal crozier pressed firmly between the shoulder-blades just to encourage them to do the right thing. Those big ol' shepherd staffs are supposed to mean something.

At least Bishop Burke understands that Canon 915 isn't optional, it's mandatory. (Scroll about 1/3 of the way down that link.)
