It is telling to me that you (really, you guys, since you evidently have a team here) prefer an obscure right-wing preacher who tells you what you want to hear over the bishops of your country speaking in communion with the Holy Father and in accordance with the clear teachings of Jesus Christ. Archbishop Chaput was right on target when he lumped Scalia (and, by your prideful choice, your team) with Frances Kissling.

It is telling to me that you (really, you guys, since you evidently have a team here) Yeah, its a grand conspiracy, "prof."
Every Catholic on this thread except you, unrelated, with no prior plan, be they liberal, moderate, or conservative, understands and agrees with the author of this thread. You disagree with the author of this thread, the Catechism, and JPII's obvious understanding of this issue.
Yet you are right and all the diverse unrelated Catholics here as well as JPII are wrong.
There is medicine for paranoid schizophrenia, "madprof."

Now you have demonstrated a clear lack of historical knowledge (added to your ignorance of the Magisterium, language, and logic.)
The USCC is not a teaching authority. Only a BISHOP can teach. Perhaps you're not aware of it, but many Bishops and Cardinals in the USA (beginning before Testem Benevolentiae) have not actually taught in consonance with the teachings of Peter, nor the Magisterium.
One of the most egregious recent examples was Bernardin--but Mahony (socialist, not Catholic) is another fine example, as is Rembert (marry the priests) Weakland.
We could go on.
The Pope's WISHES are rather nice, and I agree with him. His TEACHING, however, comports exactly with the Magisterium.
But you don't get that, do you?
Repeat question: WHERE do you TEACH?? Or are you lying about your "professorship?"
