OK. Tell you what--read this and then tell me if you see these words of a confident, courageous man or a total wuss?

I don't see an apology in your link either.

Yes, I read that statement yesterday. The Spokesman says that his speech needs to be read carefully and that if done so, that they would see it for what it is, an attempt to have repectful dialog. NOWHERE does he say that the anything the Pope said was false or that he's sorry for saying it.

Excuse me, but those are the words of the Vatican Press Secretary, Fr. Lombardi....NOT THE POPE's. The Pope has had trouble with people TRYING to interpret what he says. Show me text of the Pope's ACTUAL words, not of his spokesman.
