The BBC this morning!!!!!
www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/progs/listenagain.shtml
This morning's edition of "Sunday" on Radio 4 carried a report on the La Sapienza incident. Go to the link above and scroll down to "Sunday". Although it says January 13th, it is today's edition you will hear. Skip all the Ian Paisley and Milingo bits and you get to the report we are interested in. Once again,being the BBC, our Papa was not openly defended and it was NOT pointed out that he was merely quoting from a German theologian in that earlier address - it was mentioned but NOT EMPHASISED. Much emphasis was placed on the way that JPII faced demonstrations in Holland and Berlin - and I suppose that he took it on the chin like the outdoor bloke he was. I don't think such comparisons are fair to our beloved Papa Ratzinger. There IS no comparison between the two popes and I'm not criticising JPII.
This report actually stated that Benedict is a "divisive pope" - what absolute balderdash !!!!!!!
I'm looking forward to reading all the reports on this page, but have to hurry now for our own Mass.
POPE BENEDICT XVI RULES OK FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
