bump and ping

From the article:

Here we see most clearly what was pointed out earlier: That certain Catholics are assisting world opinion in the use of one Pope to undermine respect for all the others. How pleased Arroyo was to elevate John Paul II as “the people’s pope” at the expense of all his predecessors, whom he suggested were vainglorious royalists and popinjays partial to red tassels. This is neo-Catholic hubris at its height: the Church of today is so much more enlightened than the medieval kingdom of forty years ago."

The neo-Catholics now have their icon and this mood will develop unabated unless the next pope swiftly squashes this hysterical movement. He may of course be a reformer and push the Vatican II revolution further, in which case the neo-Catholics will become the new traditionalists in the image of JPII!

I would agree with this.
