Sounds like the guy has a pair of brass ones. If things don't work out in Rome, perhaps W can offer him a job at Homeland Security.
Ratzinger and two theologians die and go two heaven. One by one they go in and meet with God. The first theologian goes in and comes out crying, "How could I have been so wrong about everything?!?!"
Then the second theologian goes in, and comes out crying too, "How could I have been so wrong about everything?!?!".
Then Ratzinger goes in, they're in there for a while, then God comes out crying, "How could I have been so wrong about everything?!?!"
From an article in the Kiplinger Report:
"On Monday, Ratzinger, who was the powerful dean of the College of Cardinals, used his homily at the Mass dedicated to electing the next pope to warn the faithful about tendencies that he considered dangers to the faith: sects, ideologies like Marxism, liberalism, atheism, agnosticism and relativism - the ideology that there are no absolute truths."
Who can argue about that???
