You gotta feel sorry for the old guy. Who does he get to control. Not governments. Not the laity of his own church. Not even the priests. I wonder how many of his princes are just waiting for more liberal leadership?
Given those cardinals he and JPII have made, it may be a long wait but I wonder. Are all those boys as reactionary as they seem, really?
Only time will tell but not too much time. Benedict is 85.
Relgious observance is a freely chosen choice by popes,bishops,priests and laity.There is no control.It is one's knowledge and one's conscience that is at play...and of course grace (but that's for another day)
This really has become a tiresome johnny-one-note type of discussion, and nausea is just around the corner. One would think all of these self-absorbed enlightened thinkers could find something else to whine about. Or, is that TOO realistic for them ?
