The pope is "one righteous dude", to quote radio host Brian Wilson.

He has an opinion like everyone else and has the right to express it.

As far as church teaching goes, he is considered infallible on matters of faith, I.E. when he says that your sins are forgiven, they are.

When he says to fast to remember the suffering in Iraq, and you disagree, great. Fantastic. That ain't part of the faith and he can be wrong.

We don't need a new and improved Catholic Church...Actually we need the old one back!

Exactly. Everybody needs to keep that in mind.

Besides, it would more than a little bit weird to have a pro-war pope.

"Kill them all and let God sort them out, my children. Amen."
