Comments: And I thought yesterday was a pain...
Your response to, "Why should you care," comment was the same as mine; I just wasn't as fast as picking my jaw up off the ground.
I do not know if the Catholic church is capable of selecting a more progressive pope. To be sure, this is a transitional pope who is going to essentially tow JPII's line of conservatism.
I simply think that a wedge is unintentionally being driven by the (relatively) conservative stance JPII and now BenedictXVI are taking. I do not believe they are necessarily alienating people with their views but I don't think they're drawing people in to The Flock either.
