Why is the Pope's visit to Great Britain causing shock in the Vatican?
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
Basically, this guy is saying that there is no truth in Protestantism. I agree with the first few sentences but after that, he lost me. He’s full of..........baloney.
Excellent .. thanks for posting.

God bless and protect us .. we must keep praying.
Not too many Protestants would disagree with you on that! Being a convert to Catholicism from Luther, however, I agree with Michael Voris most of the time ... even though his “directness” is not for everyone ...
Is the Vatican shocked? I have no idea, but I suspect it’s just the title of this you-tube.
Sure there were protests before his visit, and protests continued after he landed on British soil. In fact, we all know about the six Algerian Moselms *that* were planning to assassinate our Holy Father.
I continue to pray for our Pope, but I’m also aware that in the UK there are plenty of good Catholics who were delighted by his visit and from all the TV coverage I’ve seen, Pope Benedict XVI has been joyously received and welcomed by the British public at large, and certainly by everyone who counts, and that list includes Lady Thatcher herself.
Yes, the TV coverage has been good.
What surprised me, was the news that
there were calls for his arrest and
petitions formerly filed with the UK
govt over his visit, etc. etc.
I agree heartily with what he’s saying
about so much of the clergy today failing
to uphold and promote the Gospel truth.
I hope you (and the rest of us) will understand, though, that that's not what the Catholic Church teaches.
Voris should rather have made the case that both Catholic internal tepidity/corruption and the Protestant centrifuge have tended to split and fragment the Church, leaving it with a weakened and sometimes garbled "voice" in society.
But I must say that Voris' main point was not "blame the Protestants," but "blame the Bishops." Which is, of course a very old theme. And in almost any age, wincingly accurate.
