Gee, what a coincidence that the lawsuit came out when Gomez was named the new archbishop of LA. Yeah, what a conincidence.

I'm convinced that a lot of these attacks, if traced all the way back, originate within "progressive" Catholic circles. They are freaking out over Benedict's reforms and are doing everything they can to bring him and his supporters down.

I think you’re right. The libs are going nuts.

My former manager at work threw an actual tantrum when Benedict was named. I was watching the Vatican on the internet, and when the white smoke came, I yelled "Habemus!" and all the Catholics gathered at my cube to see who, and when they said it was Ratzinger, he threw whatever he was holding on the floor and said some bad words.

These Fred Phelps types just seem to multiply in the religion forum. If I didn't actually know better, reading the religion forum threads, the only conclusion I could draw would be that protestantism's basic thread is hatred.

Someone on another thread said something about this all being a planned attack - I think there is something to it. It’s all too coordinated using the NYT, AP and other media outlets sympathetic to the “progressive” cause. It really does smack of a plan being carried out. The word choices, the innuendo, the carefully excised details and facts - rather Alinsky-esque, actually.
