Authority? What authority? The authority Ratzinger's given himself.
That and the "global authority" he keeps pushing.

He didn’t appoint himself Pope, did he? The conclave appointed him. As it has every other pope.

The authority received from the apostolic succession and protected by the Holy Spirit, authority denied by the historically challenged.
Note the prideful interpretations boasted about by many purporting to be christians but merely mirroring those described in Lk 12:9 and Mt 10:33.
No wonder Jesus suffered so in the Garden seeing the rejection of His work by those exercising their prideful free will.

Did you notice many of these threads like the one from the British newspaper, The Daily Mail, mentioned crowds of 80000 unlike the smaller numbers mentioned by bigoted naysayers.
Could you inform us as to why one would delibertly downplay the numbers as if that meant anything since the MESSAGE was the main focus.
God bless.
