2. I had hope reading the first of your posting that his was not going to be an attack on the Pope...

Apparently, I was wrong. This Pope was the exception to all the line of horribly flawed or even hypocritical ones that preceded him. He was a very good man who lived his beliefs and those of the New Testament, whether one believes in religion or not. He sincerely DID. We may have no hope of having anything other than a regressive RW authoritarian-enabler in the future. Yet...

Damn. Read the room for five minutes, will you?

9. Given your idea of a "good, kind, sincere and honorable man" is apparently Netanyahu, who has sold out Israelis

left and right, I guess I can't be surprised at your failure to see the former Pope for what he was and was not.

Some self-reflection may be in order, Mosby.
