Anything he can do to make American 'Baggers' heads explode is a good thing.

Actually, Pope Frank was an adherent to the philosophy of liberation theology which many, including the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (the Inquisition), believe is a synthesis of Christian and Marxist principles. I tend to agree and think that's a good thing.

There was a rather thoughtful article about El Papa in the last issue of the Atlantic.

You heal wounds by reaching out to your enemies. It's the first step towards reconciliation.

These are things I learned in BIBLE CLASS!

This is what baffles me about these so-called "Religious Right" Americans.....

There is so little that is actually Christ-like about them. Wolves in Sheeps clothing. Truly.

'Amen' from a non-Christian.

Compassion requires empathy which the right wingers do not possess. Which is why they collect a bunch of token representatives like 'Joe the plumber'. Party of the right to me means "we are right and STFU".
