Pope Benedict In Africa: “Never Be Silent In The Face Of Corruption And Abuses Of Power,"

“Never be silent in the face of corruption and abuses of power”. That was the message Pope Benedict brought to the people of Africa last week. So strong a message that the following day the corrupt President Biya of Cameroon was asked not to seek re-election. A reporter on the plane asked the Pope about condoms and Aids in Africa and that makes the headlines.

Was the Pope in Africa, or America?

I have spent basically my entire adult life in the business of defending this Country. You better believe I'm going to call out the socialists when and where I see them.

I read the comments. Reminding me that to liberal Catholics as to liberals in general, the condom is sacred. Odd that a birth control devise designed originally to keep whores from getting pregnant is taken as a cure-all for STDs. It is like they actually believed what the dispensing machines in the rest rooms in theatres said!
