The Flemish menace strikes again!
I have seen plenty of action on twitter going after the pope, yet I don’t see those same people talking about stuff like this.
It’s really easy to critique people who you know won’t harm you.

Update: Weasel Zippers via Michelle: “Quick somebody organize an interfaith conference!“
On Morning Joe the very handsome Mika Brzezinski was shown going up and down the Exorcist stairs 10 times. That is a spectacular display of physical health.
As people know the only shape I can credibly be described as is Round. I’m sure she would like me to exercise a bit more.
But physical health is not the only health that you need.
So Mika I’ll make you a deal, Get me down to DC and I’ll join you up and down those stairs 10 times. (I will have to walk I’m afraid) on the condition that on each trip (up and down) we pray one decade of the Rosary. By the time we are finished it both of us will be better off.
How about it?
The Title of this post says it all
Pope meets the Queen – who, unlike the Archbishop of Canterbury, is a real Protestant
Gotta love that. Interesting take in the article too:
Today’s meeting undoubtedly reflects a clash of historical traditions and formal theology. But it is also an encounter between two devout, old-fashioned, conservative Christians – and, in that respect, a meeting of minds.
Just go to his site and keep reading.
…is encapsulated in this quote from the Anchoress:
Papal Mass Ends in Scotland: First leg of the trip is over, tomorrow the real drama, the passionate engagement begins. I loved the Scots singing Auld Lang Syne and Loch Lomand at the end of Papal Mass; great joy amid crowd. Christ, blest and broken, for the life and light of the world. No wonder the secularists hate it all so much! A pal in UK tells me some in punditry are aghast at the enthusiastic attendance of the youth; doesn’t fit the “Benedict is evil, and you must hate him” narrative. Just now, as he appeared on the jumbotron, almost ready to take his leave, the young people cried out for him.
They cry out for Christ, for the constant reality of the love of Christ. — 2:11 PM emphasis mine
The Pope will always be hated by the world, because he is an ambassador for the cause of Christ and that is as opposed to the world as you can get.
“If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you. Remember the word I spoke to you, ‘No slave is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. And they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin; but as it is they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me also hates my Father. John 15:18-23
This is the message of absolute truth you can embrace it for your salvation or you can combat it, but you can’t ignore it.
