Dissing Burke

 was he exiled or will he nowHead an anti Islamic cabal?

More propaganda at the AP

I should note that Father L's blog points out that the Pope tends to want to change the church to a pentecostal type church. This is nice, but the stress on psychological approach to a personal relationship to Jesus ignores the "sacramental catholicism" that sees God's love in personal relationships and nature and things around us (see Andrew Greeley's works for this idea).

And it also ignores that sociopaths will quickly use this to marginalize traditional morality and push Catholicism to become a pietist faith, which no longer has any relevance to the world.
