If that's what he's saying (though I'm not saying he IS saying that), I
wouldn't
be surprised. I was stunned at the number of commentators who said with
perfect certitude, "The next Pope must be more flexible, and open." Open
to WHAT?, I ask? What a load of shyte.

Pope Benedict XVI will, I believe, be a good Pope, and that's more important
than being a *great* Pope. He reveres tradition and dogma, and that's the
only
thing the Church has in its favor today.

I'm surprised that no one has ever considered that the scandals encircling
the
Church today is due to the liberalization and modernization of the Church?
Has anyone here, under the age of 50, ever spent a week in a seminary?
I have. One month, in fact, and the permissivity I witnessed there could be
one possible explanation for the fact that roughly 3 out of every 4
seminarians
were open, avowed homosexuals. Here's the stunning part - Their Bishop
knew! That kind of licentiousness might (hopefully) be dealt with by
Benedict
XVI. That's my prayer, at least. You are right, Steve. He is a good man,
and importantly, a STRONG man. Half the Church turned their back on him
when he said, twenty years ago, "There is much filth in the Church." If
we'd
listened, perhaps we could have cured the disease sooner.
