SO this is the reason the press would not let us hear the Holy Father speak. He was not "castigating" the President for Iraq, but rather the Pope was offering his hopes, and prayers, for peace - and he followed it with PRAISE for the President, and America.
Once again, this illustrates free thinker's maxim: we must find the truth ourselves, for the press will not give it to us willingly...

This article is a must keep as the left-wing inside and outside the Catholic Church will continue to misinterpret the words of the Pope in the upcoming days.

I see a lot wrong with that statement and two other statements that he made, especially under the circumstance. ...not to mention quite a few past statements from the same point of view.
This is not to generally complain about the Catholic Church but to point out that some things need to be honestly regarded without omissions and changed.
And BTW, will the most likely next pope yet be the man in Brazil?
Prepare for the worst, and try to do our best.
