You might not be Catholic, but you do understand. The Pope's job is not win a personality contest or even to put butts in the pews. The Pope's job is to bring his flock to salvation but speaking the truth. The truth doesn't change.
Bingo.
This ain't about making Katie happy. It ain't about making the AmChurch feel comfortable with their sins.
It's about picking the successor to St. Peter as the Vicar of Christ.
And, as an aside, I hope Couric gets her wish. From what I've read, the so called 'third world' cardinals are on the front lines of the battle, as it were. These are the guys who might actually be killed for their faith, whether by the local political strongman or islamofascist group.
They don't believe, they BELIEVE.
Yeah, Katie, I hope you get JUST WHAT YOU WISHED FOR...
heh heh heh...
