Nothing will convince you of how wrong-headed this pope has been. Did it ever occur to you that George W. Bush could be wrong? Don't blame this one on the Pope. There's hundreds of millions of people in the world that think Bush has gotten a little too big for his britches on this one.
Don't put so much faith in a man who is seperated from the Holy Roman Catholic Church. The very fact that he doesn't have the true Faith demonstrates that you shouldn't place so much faith in him.
Oh, yes. I know you like to check your Catholicism at the door when it comes to political decisions. Ted Kennedy wont get away with that and neither can you.
The facts speak for themselves. Saddam's is the face of evil. The Pope ignores this whereas Bush and Blair do not. That is simply the way it is. Bush has not gotten "too big for his britches" as you suppose, he merely is defending his country against those who would destroy us by means of weapons of mass destruction. You won't recognize this because you place your worship of this Pope before the truth itself. But the Pope is not the Catholic faith--something you need to remember--just as you need to remember that this pope opposed us all the while he was providing diplomatic cover for a butcher like Saddam. That is morally deplorable and it does not make a Catholic less of a Catholic to say so.
