Look, you read into it what you want but there is no way you can say that you see a courageous man standing behind his original words.

He has let us down. You have no idea how badly I feel about this.

Last night when my husband told me about the original part of the story, I was feeling really good about the Pope and what he said and now today, I feel like the air has been let out of my balloon. I am not Catholic but I was so buoyed to see a man of courage and now this.

Be disappointed then, what can I say. But I don't share your disappointment because I don't see where is comes from.

Help me understand. Please print the quote of the pope's words that so offend you. Just the facts. Do not print a media spin of his words.

He did not say he was sorry.

You may have read the article 3 times but ya' need to work on your comprehension......

There was no apology.....

-Repeat-There was no apology.....
-Repeat-There was no apology.....
-Repeat-There was no apology.....

I stated it four times because the three times reading thing didn't seem to be working for ya'
