It's only been one day since a new Pope was elected and I'm already tired of hearing revisionist Catholics whine about the new Pope maybe being too much of a hard liner and how he might not "listen" to them. First of all, his long-time pre-papal JOB was to be the iron arms of the law, not Mr. Warm & Fuzzy. Second, ever considered it's egotistical little YOU who should be the one listening to HIM instead of the other way around? Who do you think you are anyway? I think you're spoiled brats.
Why are you demanding changes to the "church you love" in order to really love it? So you're holding your love for "your church" hostage to your puny demands? You make me laugh. If you're a bunch of women who want to hand out communion and birth control pills, feel free to start up your own church without the benefit or money of the mainstream Holy Roman Church... nobody is stopping you. Stop your belly aching and go away. Nobody cares if the church shrinks because it sticks to it's guns on doctrine. People that respect character will be drawn to a church that knows who it is, not a wishy-washy bend in the wind nonsense church of the week looking to be popular. Being true to itself is more important to the church than bending to the will of people who want to pick and choose what laws they care to adhere to. Thank God.
