Oh noooooooo.......

12:44PM - Cardinal Ratzinger has been named as the new Pope. American Catholics, be afraid, for this surely is a vote for the Catholic Church to continue to fight against the rest of the Modern World, and a bow to continued conservatism.

As for this FleshPresser, I think it's time to get out while the getting is good....

    Anyone have any confidence in Christ and His church?? Doesn't a sovereign God have a say anymore??

    Denis, I wish I could say that a sovereign God DOES have a say. That's what I would prefer.

    But I have to tell you that I have little faith of that actually having occurred based on seeing the length of time the decision took, and the person who wound up in the position.

    Is it possible that a sovereign God made this decision? Absolutely. Is it more likely a political move by the Church? Well, I guess we'll never know. And when it comes down to "we'll never know" issues, faith comes to play.

    Forgive me if, as an American Catholic, my FAITH in those who run the Catholic Church has been shaken a bit in the past few years.

    Are you telling me I have no reason to feel this way? Then I respond that there is a significant difference between faith and naiveté.
