The Pope and some evil mfkrs

Then there's this ...

I've abstained from getting into the current Pope thing, but will now as a secular issue.  Under the organized, and trumped up guise  of Benedict's action in Germany, in regard pedophile priests, he, and with him the church,  are enduring a blistering assault.    Catholic leftists are no different than their Jewish counterparts.  When it comes to imposing a political agenda, it's Party first,  Party second, and Party third. Cardinal Ratzinger's elevation to Pope was viewed the same way, for the same reason, and by the same people,who went nuts when Dubya was elected president.   Ratzinger was not a man to trade principles for kind words from the New York Times, which is what they want in their Pope.   This is about moral authority baby.  A stumbling block for any wishing to implement the statist religion.  If you're interested, read this.  The Pope and the New York Times Cardinal Ratzinger did more than anyone to hold abusers accountable. If being on the New York Times hit list doesn't persuade you that this is political, try this - FWIW, We went to the 7 AM Easter Mass, got there a little early, and were stunned to find the church parking lot nearly filled.  I know, there are a lot of Easter Sunday Catholics, but we've never experienced anything like this.  My guess (or is it hope?) is that everything going on out there is beginning to resonate.
