According to someone in the room with him when he received the news that Cardinal Law was to be deposed, he slammed his hand on his desk and yelled to his assistants: "You told me this situation would be taken care of the right way!" We all know how quickly the Vatican moves ... zzzzzzzzzz.

"You told me this situation would be taken care of the right way!" I'm shocked, totally shocked, to find that there is gambling in this House.

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender comes up and says "Hey pal, what will it be?"
The horse orders a beer.
A few minutes later, John Kerry walks in and sits at the bar. The bartender walks up and says "Hey pal, cheer up. Why the long face?"
I'll stop if you guys will donate and get us over our fundraising goal

With the person in charge, John Paul, spending most of his time on spiritual reflection, there is simply no one in the Vatican hierarchy in place to help the tottering American Church. This is a rather simplistic view on O'Reilly's part. Obviously, the american media is focused on the church here. However, the problem of sexual abuse amongst the clergy is worldwide - Europe, the Phillipines, South America.

O'Reilly is such a blowhard on this topic. But it does beg the question, what were they waiting for? Not the pope but his underlings...
Hmmmm....

For the American Catholic Church right now, the only solution on the horizon is divine intervention. I wholeheartedly agree.

"You told me..."
Okay, he delegated, and the people he delegated to gooned it up.
So where is he now?
Holy Father, the words you need are these: "Anathema, excommunicated, laicized."
Those, properly applied, will be a good start.

With that in mind, I recently traveled to Vatican City and sat in the third row at John Paul's weekly audience. Thus transforming himself into an Instant Expert. I wonder if a stunt like this is enough to transform an Italian vacation into tax-deductible Investigative Journalism.

"You told me this situation would be taken care of the right way!"If this is an accurate statement then my question is what is the right way?

Also, a couple of months ago... O'Reilly was calling the Pope senile... at least HIS VATICAN sources said that he was senile, now O'Reilly has changed his tune on that idea after reading his column...

I'm shocked, totally shocked, to find that there is gambling in this House. Even on the intentionally ironic level, a comprehensively stupid statement. We are a Church of sinners. Christ himself says that it's the sick who need a physician.
Are you bucking for Certified Catholic Basher status, or what's your reason for appearing in these threads? Seriously.

I don't think I really have the talent to be very good at CCB status, due to a lack of internecine theological weapons embeded in my synapses, plus, more importantly, my heart isn't in it, since I think the Catholic religion on balance does more good than harm on this planet. Perhaps I am here only to annoy you. I will ponder that one. The Mormons might be after me though. I posted tonight another Mountain Meadows bit, even though I find much about Mormons admirable. And there you have it. I will call them as I see them.

You don't annoy me. But since you have an interest in Catholic matters (which I welcome) you owe it to yourself to become better informed. For starters, though she does "more good than harm" that's not why the Church exists. She's not about moral culture; she's about a mode of being-in-communion. Catholic teaching and thought derive not from a juridical insistence on moral law, but from the existential commitment to being conformed to Christ.
I will call them as I see them.
Radical individualism is one of the first things you're going to have to give up if you're seriously interested in Christianity. Best wishes, and be sure to FReepmail me if you want any more in-depth information.

Now there's a lofty and useful goal! (/sarcasm) Sheesh!
To: NYer
The problem is that you believe that the pope is such a good guy. Research and his own writings prove quite differently. Denial ensures that this problem will prevail.

"Anathema, Excommunicated, Laicized"...
And the BAD news is that he could do it in the time-honored fashion of the USArmy: every 10th person in a long line...and likely hit deserving targets every time.
