Your statement is correct and it gives me some comfort.
What DOESN'T give me comfort is that the very FIRST thing Obama did yesterday was quote the Pope. The very FIRST chance he had and we had to know this was going to happen.
Pope Francis, who I don't think is the brightest bulb in the lamp and I'll never know why they replaced Benedict for him in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, blew it with that nonsense he wrote
For the record, I stopped my parish priest Weds night and told him I was not happy with the pope's words.
He looked at me a long time and said nothing.
Then he smiled and said that he had no input in it, that no one even asked him.
Sure Father Jim was trying to be clever, to defuse my ire, but I had the distinct impression that he too was not pleased with the pope's stupid words and that I was not the FIRST Catholic to complain about it.
Ah Pope Francis, you need to call home and cancel your newspapers....they are piling up on your front door.
And my Bishop's name is Francis and I USED to be proud of that.
