“Certainly, You would like to see in Benedict as a deacon of conservatism. You, who have known him, you said, in effect, he had a free spirit.”

"He was an intelligent man. And the hard-line conservatives, in general, lack intelligence. So, he was more conservative but he was open.

Something is wrong in the Catholic Church. There are still some who actually believe, but the majority are posers, posing as believers. CINOs (Catholics In Name Only). At least, as a non-Catholic, that’s what I see, and it’s a shame. Now I am not talking about the parishioners, I’m talking about the Catholic hierarchy, from Pope on down.

Liberals believe contortionist thinking is intelligent.

Many truths are simple, but hard.
Adding complexity where it’s not necessary is foolishness, not intelligence.

Lol...I’d like to see him go one one one on intelligence with Dr Ben Carson. The good doctor would leave him in the dust.
Idiot!

That’s a good way of describing it. They also think not thinking at all is intelligent IF you parrot certain leftist ideas.

To: Gillibrand1; All

Acts, probably written by Luke under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, in Acts 4 tells us that the teachers of the law saw that Peter and John were unschooled, ordinary men (4:13).

The Spirit likewise led Paul to write in 1 Corinthians 3:9-20 that the wisdom of the world is foolishness in God’s sight and the thoughts of the “wise” are futile.

Well, he's right from the perspective that people who do not reflect on their faith can be seen as lacking intellectual curiosity. Problem is, the same can be said for liberals - an "anything goes" mentality is hardly a substitution for considered thought.

I think this clown needs to look up "pride" in the dictionary and change his ways. That would be a good intellectual exercise for a genius like him.

Well, Cardinal "SYNOD" Hollerich, as a Jesuit, and 'intelligent,' you see the ways the baleful conservatives are stupid by NOT ACCEPTING:

- Socialism
- Pederasty in the clergy
- Human sex trafficking
- The 'woke" agenda
- Abandonment of two millennia of Catholic catechism
- Abortion
- Abortion promulgated by "devout Catholics"
- Man made Climate Change

Yes, Cardinal, these are a few of the things that make conservatives unenlightened.

“Adding complexity where it’s not necessary is foolishness, not intelligence.”

But it does add two things:

Adding complexity makes the subject harder to pin down
It is the tool of a person trying intentionally to avert truth even though it wasn’t broken.
