I do wonder whether he has a naive view of the media. The media people cetainly have their own agenda; and they certainly are not self-correcting. So if you help them out inadvertently with something ambiguous, something the least bit tentative or awkward, they will get their teeth into it and pull it into shreds in 5 directions, then sew it together in a different shape and make a headline out of it.

Yes, I do think he's naive about his own communication problems. And that can do real damage.

Well he needs your prayers!!!

I despise what the media mongoloids try to do to all of Christianity! They act a great deal like they are inspired by "the dark side!"

They have absolutely no shame regarding whose life they screw up.

They justify it with their overzealous "truth to power," thinking they can build themselves up by tearing down other good people in positions of power.

They think they are empowering themselves but there will be a day of judgement for them and it ain't gonna be pretty!!!

As you can see, the "p" in the wasp part of my screen name stands for Protestant so I am not exeuberant about the Papacy, but I still try to show respect for the position he has achieved.

This in spite of my wish he would stay away from anti-capitalism and liberation theology, etc.
