To have to EXPLAIN it to them indicates quite a lot about their logic handling abilities.

And then when attempting damage control, decades of treating one prohomosexual proabortion notorious public sinner (among many) as a member, and the commendation of the prayers of this man in mortal sin, a standard blessing to him that mentioned prays for joyful surrender to Christ (not James tearful repentance) is made out to be an call to repentance.

And with gutsy mindreading attributing "wisdom" to that which expects a politician who had the audacity to claim to the pope that he "always tried to be a faithful Catholic," who "never failed to believe and respect the fundamental teachings of my faith" (perhaps based upon what Rome's response to him indicated that real faith was), to see this boilerplate prayer as calling him to Biblical repentance.

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. (James 4:8-10)

The Lord "saw people's faith, and by her overall actions, or non-actions -which have many TRCs it seems longing for the days and worldly means of the Inquisitions, and some even separating into Catholic sects - is what the multitudes of mini Teddy Ks see as constituting what Rome really believes.

"always tried to be a faithful Catholic,"

Except for that little incident about a trinket removed from a dead man...
