Oh, give me a break. So, you are one of the Catholics that believe everything the Pope does, regardless of talking on Scripture or otherwise, is infallible?

Infallibility is an interesting issue but I'm not sure what that has to do with the current encyclical. Nobody, including the Pope, is pretending that this was given under the seal of infallibility.

Has the subject changed?

Your original point was that the Pope's writing was not rooted in "true conservative thought", whatever that nebulous entity might be. My point was that it is based on the Gospel, which is not encompassed by any ideology derived from the human intellect, including, believe it or not, conservatism.

Conservatism is rooted in the Gospel. That is why liberals hate the Gospel. The Pope has been suckered in by the social gospel liberals who want to look good to God by giving other people’s money to the poor.

If Obama had written this instead of the Pope, you would be blasting away.
