One is reminded of William Wordsworth's:

"THE WORLD IS TOO MUCH WITH US; LATE AND SOON"

          "THE world is too much with us; late and soon,
          Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
          Little we see in Nature that is ours;
          We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
          The Sea that bares her bosom to the moon;
          The winds that will be howling at all hours,
          And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;
          For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
          It moves us not.--Great God! I'd rather be
          A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;                         
          So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
          Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
          Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
          Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn." - 1806

Surely he is addressing Catholics that voted for abortion and denial of his name 3 times in a televised open convention.

The Vatican is late to the party...and the party is Communist. They should have recognized it sooner, they fought it for years during the cold war. Seems we all suffer from amnesia when it comes to the evil of those times.
