Disclosure: I am not Catholic.For some time I have felt the pendulum was beginning to swing back our way. Dubya and holding both houses of Congress is a start.
But today the pendulum got a major kick in the ass!

The left is now aware that the Holy Father considers them the enemy, and he is not afraid to voice his feeling

When is the left going to face the fact that "normal people" (since I consider liberalism a mental disorder) do not like them and what they stand for. Even Homer Simpson gets it! DOH !
This should be entertaining. The hissing and snarling from the snakes on the left has just begun.
that was clear in father malachi martin's book "the keys of this blood".
Their only hope now is for the Oxyrhynchus Papyri to turn up some missing books of the Bible which happen to provide justification for what they want to believe.
Very good - but the person who typed/edited this is obviously not a Catholic (nor am I, for the record.)
It's a verbatim transcript from Rush's show today and I am certain that Rush is not a Catholic.
Rush- a thrice divorced, drug addicted entertainer speaks for American Catholics
- Classic!
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
I'm not so sure Benedict XVII sees the left as the enemy. I think he is more concerned about leading the Catholic church. As a Christian I believe that I am a footsoldier for God, we are in a spiritual war against evil. The Pope may be of the same mindset and content to fight or lead his group in the manner he thinks God wants him to do. Politics will be politic and those on the right or the left will say and posture to influnce whomever they can. I don't think you can get to be the Pope by being swayed by popular opinion or the politics of the day. His job is to lead his flock.
Make that Benedict XVI
I would have to assume that the Cardinals elected the Pope fully aware what his views are. His steadfast views have been anti-secularism, anti-abortion and strongly in favor of traditional Catholicism. His fellow Cardinals elected him to lead the faithful knowing how he would lead.
ROFL ;^D -- You just gotta love Rush!
A man responsible for the murder of early Christians became arguably the greatest apostle in his witness for Christianity (Saul/Paul).
A Catholic from Hollywood's upper echelon with a checkered past creates a movie that brings those of all Christian background together, regardless of doctrinal dispute, in a display of faith that shocks the liberal establishment.
A driftless former drunk is transformed by God and ends up becoming a pivotal President at a central point in world history.
God deals in irony every day. I see nothing shocking in Rush's defense of catholics. He's a sinner. I'm a sinner. So what. It doesn't exclude him from differentiating between right and wrong.
Rush is an entertainer.
Enjoy his show if you choose.

I'm not really aware of Mel Gibson having a checkered past.
From what I know, he wasn't ever one of the self indulgent, drinking, drugging womanizing types.
If your referring to the movies he has made, I do understand then.
"The left is now aware that the Holy Father considers them the enemy, and he is not afraid to voice his feeling"
I am not certain whether Holy Father considers ANYONE enemy. Even if he does, He will most surely BE afraid to voice His feelings.
Please remember that every Christian is under the obligation to pray for his/her enemies.
I doubt that Rush thinks he speaks for american catholics. All mortal beings are sinners, you, me, Rush, everyone. We all need God's forgiveness for our sins.
