it’s because the Pope is steering the Church back from liberalism to orthodoxy

And I’m sure glad of it! It’s good to see that when it was wrong, it’s still wrong; when it was right, it’s still right. It started when Pope John Paul was in ‘office’. He was starting the trend; but he wasn’t able to do too much about it in years before his death. I think it had a lot to do with his illness.

He would’ve done a lot more if he hadn’t been so ill. He tried though; (bless his soul)he had started some reform in the seminaries before he had become ill w/Parkinson’s. He still worked on it, anyway. However, it’s good to see that Pope Benedict is able now to continue w/what JP11 left off and carry on w/the reform that was started!

Man when that old “Fisher of Men” went to Great Britain fishing for men and women, he got quite a haul, didn’t he? It’s true that most of them were already Christians though. Still, he sure did lure a lot of Anglican fish back over to the Roman Catholic boat! Take that Henry! (Henry V111-Elizabeth 1’s Dad)he he he..
