the Pope and approving sin

I wrote about the problem on my main blog, but a good summary of the problem can be found here.

Pope dismantles church, NYTimes rejoices

Drudge links to a NYTimes post saying the Pope is in a race against time to change the church. 

But I refuse to click on it, so will have to find the report secondhand.

Lots of smearing of Cardinal Burke.

But those who say rebuking the Pope is taboo ignore the history of StAthanasius, 

Here, perhaps, I should add as a parenthetical comment, that the Orthodox laypeople throughout the Roman Empire played a significant and heroic role in the defense of the Orthodox Faith and defeat of Arianism, even when many of the bishops faltered. 
Not only in Alexandria and Egypt, but in Constantinople, Syria, Cappadocia, Edessa, Samosata, Pontus, Armenia, Nicomedia, Paphlagonia, Scythia, Illyria, Rome, Milan, and elsewhere, the simple faithful of the Church showed amazing devotion, courage and tenacity in resisting the Arians. 

the "bishops against Bishops" fight was fortold at Akita, and then there was the vision of someone (Katherine emmerich?) seeing something similar. I'll have to look it up.

The mercy stuff is so great... I need mercy. But there is a difference between mercy and a "get out of jail free" card for those who refuse to repent/return to God.

And all the stuff about the Pope being "pastoral" and psychologizing the issue of sin ignores the dirty little secret that he is what psychologists call a "coenabler".

But then I see how the argument "god made me this way and therefore I am allowed to sin and you are evil because you oppose my desires" in my own family, so excuse my bitterness.
