Freedom to kill is not a true freedom but a tyranny that reduces the human being into slavery."

Terrific quote. We'll be using that one on future voter guides.

I fail to see why this is news. I fail to see why "liberals" are surprised and disappointed by this, and why "conservatives" see this as a reason for high fives and cart wheels.

Isn't this the bare minimum that we should expect from a pope, that he defend the deposit of faith and the constant magisterial teaching of the Church on moral issues? If he did anything other that this, if he promoted anything contrary to the deposit of faith and the constant teaching of the Church on moral issues wouldn't that make him a heretic? Why is it news when the pope announces his intention not to be a heretic?
