"Strange. Didn't know that the church was in the business of making geopolitical military judgements."

It would appear that you haven't heard the prouncements emanating from the Vatican on the subject of the war in Iraq. Interesting threads here yesterday....

Well, its funny, Pius XII is villified by Catholic haters for NOT inserting himsef in global affairs during WWII, and now these same Catholic haters think the pope should mind his own business.

Idiots.

I am sure that the pope knows Catholic doctrine well enough to know that it says that his political judgments carry no more weight than Mr. Bush's or Mr. Blair's.
