WE HAVE A POPE!!!
Remember the scene from an episode of MASH where Radar reads a telegram or letter to Hot Lips and she goes nuts and destroys her tent? I'll bet McBrien and all the other lefty, commie, relativist heretics go on a month long bender. Let's hope they all hit the road.
"He's too much of a polarizing figure," McBrien said. "If he were elected, thousands upon thousands of Catholics in Europe and the United States would roll their eyes and retreat to the margins of the church."
The typical deluded rantings of a liberal.
It is staggering how inept journalists have become in the mainstream left. I heard someone announce on NPR that they were expecting to hear the phrase "Habeo Papam" momentarily!
Would you or I be so careless as to look so foolish in front of ..what thousands..(hundreds?)...(ten?).
Amen, brother Cunningham. Amen!
Fluently. Also Italian, French and of course German. He's also in very good health, in spite of his age.
Just like all those Dems who said they would move to Canada if Bush won and didn't, I doubt liberal Roman Catholics will retreat from the Church either.
They've been out in droves today and everyday since Pope John Paul's death, drawing lines in the sand. They are hoping to drag others out with them. Actually, if McBrien is upset by the choice, that assures it is a good one.
Cardinal Machiavelli has protested, saying the voting machines were rigged and too difficult to use. Machiavelli says the German guy stole the election.
"They've been out in droves today and everyday since Pope John Paul's death, drawing lines in the sand. They are hoping to drag others out with them."
A lot of good it did them. They are last gaspers who will cry until the Great Day Of The Lord comes and realize their shenanigans were for naught.
"Actually, if McBrien is upset by the choice, that assures it is a good one."
I concur. Since McBrien has been at ND I have been enjoying their misfortunes in CF. The 2005 season will bring more heartache to SB.
The American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise, merely b/c it came up first on Google, but you can look in any good encyclopedia.

It is family knowledge to my family --- replete with family letters and, eventually a Spanish Land Grant in what is now Texas, conditioned on leaving, that hangs above my grandmother's fireplace.

Now you attribute atrocity to Catholics in general... your first post said the Catholic CHURCH helped to throw your family in gas chambers. Which is it?
I'm sure for every act of bigotry you could find, an act of heroism on the part of a Catholic person could also be found.
Who do you hate more, the Catholic Church or Catholics in general? I guess your bigotry speaks volumes.
With respects to John Paul the Great, Benedict's English is better...just a touch of Bavarian accent. Very clear.
