"It is important that those of you who so quickly condemn the Vatican understand that the very same schism dividing our country also exists within the Church. I would hope you will make yourselves aware of those divisions and that you would consider "rooting" for Pope Benedict's conservatism to win out, whether you are religious or not."

Thanks, your post is more eloquent than mine. Also now with Cardinal Bertone as Secretary of State, I hope there will be even less "Vatican" tolerance of Martino.

People hopefully realize this is like one Congressman speaking his views; he does not represent the views of the entire nation, or even the government. Same when one Vatican employee gives his opinion.

I know that Martino is a pinko who certainly doesn't represent the real viewpoint of both Pope Benedict and John Paul or most of the Vatican. However, I'm afraid that there are people who think that he does.
