That's why Kerry and Pelosi are giving Rome the finger, as well. Roman Catholic dems know they don't have to pay any attention to church doctrine at any time because the are nuanced and kindred spirits. ALL of the Kennedys are laughing at Rome.
And, when Pelosi, Kerry and Kennedy praise today's court decision on abortion, they are daring the church to say word one. They KNOW the church will say NOTHING!!!
"Pelosi, Kerry and Kennedy .... They KNOW the church will say NOTHING"
You are right. I think is is becoming very clear this Pope is losing moral authority. I'm not saying that is as it should be, but just a point of fact.
He has lost control over Traditional Catholics and will not likely see a reconciliation in his lifetime. The feminist and the homosexual lobby have never liked him now the average churchgoing catholic is questioning his actions.
Since his ill health may linger for years and he seems to have no intention of fixing things, we will see more trouble ahead. Lord what will you send us in the next pope.
