It does not matter what I think, or what any of these men in robes think. The Heavenly Father knows everything that happened and He even knows who thought what and when and where... HE will be the judge. But I will tell you my opinion this 'story' is being reproduced and timed to take the attention away from people about how we just got Kennedyed, Nanny the RED Pelosied and Stupaked.
Conservatives are suppose to be about personal individual responsibility, and crying victimization by the media is NOT impressing me.
This is not politics but spiritual warfare. The media, who represent the powers that be, are attacking the Church because she is one of their chief enemies. The problem is, however, that the Church is divided, and I mean the Catholic Church. There are liberals who would like to take over the Church the way they have taken over the Episcopal Church. Benedict is their enemy because he holds the papal throne, and they would love to replace him with one of their own. Call them Notre Dame Catholics, they have friends in high places, friends hostile to the Pope, hostile to traditional Christianity in any form.
