Exactly.
Safire wrote at least one column in which he talked about the quandary Reagan was in at the start of his SOTU speech. Do you call the Vice President “Mr. President,” which is correct, but risk having the audience think you’re getting senile? Or do you cater to the general public’s ignorance, and use the wrong title?
IIRC, Reagan always called Bush “Mr. President.”
If the Pope told Dolan to stand on his head and scream like a hyena, he would.
I don’t agree with this article. Everyone need to take a deep breath.
To my eyes it is a biased diatribe, though I do agree that Pope Francis is inferior to recent popes.
Many commenters say he didn’t mention Christ. He did. He Mentions “God” nine times as in “Moses leads us directly to God and thus to the transcendent dignity of the human being. Moses provides us with a good synthesis of your work: you are asked to protect, by means of the law, the image and likeness fashioned by God on every human face.”
Since when isn’t Christ God.
Sounds like a sermon to my ears
“Capitalism” is not in itself a moral system, it must be animated and fused with one.
The wide-spreead quite blind supporters of “God”less Capitalism fail to realize that it is that “God”less Capitalism has destroyed our nations economy.There is a attendant failure of politics. I cite the greed that led us to sellout each other(we are our community) and even ourselves to China for cheap products and greater middle-man profits.
A king would not betray his own treasury, a democracy of “takers” would. This democracy of traitors has.
We are Economic Cannibals. If this is a political problem it is because we elected capitalists who are Economic Cannibals.
The Pope’s position on “Global Warming” has been grossly exaggerated. He asked in Laudate Si for a dialogue on the issue.
He often plainly says (and does in Laudate Si) that he is not sure of his position that climate change is not understood. He says we need to talk I am fine with that since we seem tobe talking past each other.
In this speech he mentions this issue exactly once in his over 3500 words.
“This common good also includes the earth, a central theme of the encyclical which I recently wrote in order to “enter into dialogue with all people about our common home” (ibid., 3).
So the liberals meed to listen.
You must be thinking of a different article.
This is a transcript of the Pope's speech before Congress. There is no commentary, no analysis, no nothing except the words that the Pope actually said.
Are you saying you don't agree with his speech???
