Pope gonna be lonely

So, does the Pope just want to have no friends at all? Who will want to play with him in the sandbox? Last fall he angered Muslims by praising homilicidal Pope Urban (who called for the first Crusades). Last week he pissed off Jews by reinstating the Tridentine Mass without removing the Good Friday prayers for conversion of the Jews. And now he’s calling non-Roman-Catholic Christians not real Christians. (Thanks a lot!) What’s next? A statement denouncing atheists?
Also of interest, the AP article reports,
Benedict, who attended Vatican II as a young theologian, has long complained about what he considers the erroneous interpretation of the council by liberals, saying it was not a break from the past but rather a renewal of church tradition.
(Emphasis added.) So, basically, the Holy Father doesn’t like traditions unless they’re conservative? Right. This guy’s giving my dad reasons for his pantheist phase.
I’m sending my prayers out to all my great Catholic friends across the world, that their faithful witness to the loving, universal, universe-loving spirit of Catholicism might seep back into even the Holy See.
