I'm not Catholic, but I completely agree with you. Libs are upset why? Because a Cardinal, now Pope supports Church doctrine. What do they expect?
Apparantly supporting Church doctrine isn't allowed if you want to be accepted as Pope by liberal "Catholics".
On Fox last night, Mort Kondracke was bemoaning then-Cardinal Ratzinger's belief that the Catholic church is the one true faith. Charles Krauthammer chuckled, then pointed out to Concerned Mort that having a church leader believe his church is the one true faith is not exactly a huge shock. The media treatment of the Catholic church is interesting, in the sense that the Church is treated as a political, rather than a faith-based, entity. All these polls and public opinion and what people want stuff. Perhaps they should consider the origins of the Christian faith... if Jesus had been more concerned about public relations, popularity, political issues, and what people "wanted" at the time, He probably would not have been crucified. I think it's pretty clear that popular opinion isn't the point.
