Part of the ever escalating “war” against all Christians, whether Catholic or Protestant.
I say-first consider the qualifications of the “journalist” as to his/her ability to accurately paraphrase whatever the Pope has actually said.
As a recent parable-Tina Fey, a female comedian on a TV show, while mocking Sarah Palin, was accurately and correctly quoted as saying “I can see Russia from my house”.
That “quote” is falsely attributed to Sarah Palin, based on sheer repetition of a satire.
I say - I would very much prefer to have a conversation with the Pope, than I would with the "Tina Fey" types.
She actually said that Russia could be seen from Alaska. And she later provided proof that it could.
