The Corriere della Sera reported that local terror experts said they are paying close attention to threats made by an Iraqi armed group regarding its intentions to attack Rome and the Vatican in response to Pope Benedict’s remarks on Islam.
Which term includes the New York Times.
No it doesn't. The NYT is rooting for the other side.
What will the response be from those liberal Democratic American Catholics who automatically pull the Democratic lever in the voting booth? I'm thinking also of my fellow Pittsburgh PA residents.
Thank you......G_d bless
Haven't seen that one before. It fits.
My understanding is that the Pope was quoting from an historical source. So does all this muzzie rage mean that one can't even discuss history? How do they study history in their universities? How do they discuss other political systems? No wonder nothing of value comes from the muslim world when people have fatwas issued against them for engaging in intellectual debate.
Have Senators John F. Kerry and Edward Kennedy commented on this 'controversy'?
Amen.
The Holy Spirit, whether one is a Catholic or Protestant or whatever, at this time resides over and protects the Pope. The Holy Spirit will give tremendous insight and courage and tactical wisdom to the Pope. His dectractors are the children of dark and evil. They will have no such Holy Spirit over them, providing them courage, solace and protection, not to mention superior, divinely inspired vision.
In this sense, those of Islam and Worldwide Violence can 'bring it on'. However, it is inevitable they at they shall be humbled, defeated and knocked to their knees, just as when Communism made a foolish decision to take on another Pope in our modern time.
Nor am I a Catholic.
But I do respect the Pope, his words, and his wisdom.
I join others in prayer for his safety.
I agree with Michelle Malkin. "They" are the Religion of the Perpetually Offended.

DITTO that.
If you tell me I'm violent, I'll kill you (but I am not violent).
An Iraqi armed group? Didn't the Democrats say that there are no terrorists in Iraq, they are all in Afghanistan and not Iraq!
"amid growing Muslim anger over his remarks about Islam"
corection, they should report "amid growing Muslim anger due to misinterpretation and ignorance over his remarks about Islam."
I hope that's not so. But if it is, the few civilized countries in the world (U.S., Britain, Australia, Italy...) should at this moment be planning their joint military offensive to prevent such an attack.
They could do it too, they have military training as fierce as any, but there are only 500 of them!
You're right, they have tried and failed, sort of like the 1993 version of 9/11 Twin Towers. If at first they don't succeed, nothing stops them.
Maybe this is the actual third Fatima prophecy? Supposedly it was the death attempt on JP2, but that was not nearly the cataclysmic disaster that would result if the Pope had actually been killed.
Yeah! And all the DUmmies believe that too.
Sad isn't it?
I clicked on your profile page and I thought you were banned. I was wondering how you got banned so fast right after you posted to me, LOL!!!
Not a peep yet from American bishops. Their P.R. folks don't get in until 9:00 Monday. This is much too touchy an issue to expect any individual comments. Maybe if directly confronted by the press, someone of the high stature of Wuerl or George would respond with something politically neutral and supportive of the Pope. But I'd wail until mid-week for a USCCB statement of any sort. They are waiting to see if it dies down and they can ignore it, or if it intensifies and they must respond. Or it may be the place of the Nuncio as this is political.
Shhhhh..........
You'll blow my cover! I sneak back in when JimRob and the Mods ain't lookin'
LOL!
(I've had a lot of fun with that format on my page)

I see you've updated your page too. I "stole" some nice graphics from you over time. LOL
