As I read both these reports of the Holy Father's words, I thought that was exactly what he was doing. Warning the Christians of this world to the dangers we face.
In the Roman Catholic Church, we are fighting to keep our true faith from being corrupted by the homosexual manifesto that seeks to overtake it. Pope John Paul II warned the American Catholic Church many years before the homosexual/pedophile scandals to clean out the sickness and return to the tenets of the faith. They didn't, and now it would seem that the ACC is all but irrelevant in anything they do.
The world sees a sick old man. I think that Pope John Paul II is the mightiest of allies for the American way of life.
Once a freedom fighter and always a freedom fighter!
