You know, all I as a traditional Catholic can think is, it’s kind of bad if you have to spend time trying to explain what it is the Pope stands for....

We live in a society where information is communicated electronically in an instant. Few bother to read articles in their entirety, like freeper piusv who admits So, I've only gotten this far. Hence, comments are cherry picked for "sound bites" in order to lure viewers to the evening news, or to support one's position on threads such as this. Words, taken out of context, especially with regard to Catholic teaching, are fodder for the media to sensationalize into emerging societal trends. Go ahead and attempt to describe a doctrine of Catholic faith in a clear fashion without others glomming onto a particular word or phrase.

Your comment exemplifies the reason this article was written.

Um, excuse me but when I wrote “I’ve only gotten this far” it meant I had only gotten that far and already had an issue with what he wrote. Don’t accuse me of cherry picking anything.

But I know my comments are not well-received by most of the Catholics on this forum.

From the same blogger, Fide; here he tears into Pope Francis:

“This isn’t Denzinger.”

It seems that "Catholic in Brooklyn" cherry-picks his material, not unlike some posters on this forum.
