Burt,

Don't forget that Georgetown and Notre Dame (one of those filing suit) allowed BO/BS Plenty to speak on their campuses complying with the edict that they remove all crosses/religious symbols in the backdrops!! I believe that this was BO's retaliation at Georgetown for not removing the crosses that had so allegedly offended its Muslim students according to press reports many months before.

We all know plenty of Catholic politicians who still receive the Host at Mass, regardless of their public stated positions on the legality of abortion and "women's health rights" vs. their personally held views (BS alert).

I viewed a Glenn Beck TV clip from March of this year recently where he reported he was in Rome for the elevation of the 20+ new cardinals including Timothy Dolan. Beck said that after interviewing Dolan and some of the others, this is part of Benedict XVI's plan to make over the hierarchy with true conservatives. I believe that the recent Vatican "scandal" involving the pope's butler and private papal papers that uncover corruption and money laundering are a shot over the bow from the Obama administration fronted by Hillary's State Dept. to get in line with BO, or worse is headed their way. Hillary's State Dept. made a recent offer to the Vatican that it would "help" the city state with investigating banking and money laundering issues vis a vis the global terrorist threat. Interesting timing for the so-called Vatican "scandal" to come out in the U.S. papers, no? Fortunately, the cardinals over here are on to it--both Dolan and Wuerl of DC made recent encouraging statements to the media. Wuerl told Chris Wallace that he wasn't concerned with the coverage that's translated over here from the hysterical Italian press and who knows who's got any understanding of the truth (words to that effect); Dolan responded to a reporter's question about the NY SLIMES bashing him for allegedly paying $20,000 to some Milwaukee priests who were defrocked in order to "make them" leave the priesthood (that doesn't even make sense to me). Dolan replied, "that's not the first time the TIMES has reported things about the Church that have not been credible" or words to that effect. If the Old Gray Hag is really so concerned about pedophilia, instead of attacking the Catholic Church, it would be running hundreds of articles right now about why all the sexual aggression taking place in our NYC schools by the staff/faculty.
