How can the method in which a person delivers a message be right or wrong? It's subjective.

What if not mentioning Jesus made more people look at the church in a different light, which may eventually lead them to Jesus--but mentioning Jesus may have turned just as many people off to the Church--leading them away from Jesus?

How can someone even know this to the point of saying one method was a mistake? It's a viewpoint based on one assuming their opinion is superior.

No, I do not care much about this story in particular. I am not weighing in on that by any means. There are more important stories. I am just wondering about your ultramontanism, and if you are committed to every implication of that position.

Why don't you tell me the implications of that position so I can address your concerns. I am particularly fond of bulleted lists.

I am at work. I will give you a nice bullet list later. :P

So the Pope meant to mention Jesus but didn't? I don't follow.

I do not believe he intentionally failed to mention Christ by name in his speeches to Congress and the UN which is why I believe it was simply a mistake.

I was never aware of how the "American Right" was so Anti-Catholic until the Pope came visiting... Some of the comments under posts about the Pope on Facebook were just terrible!  It's like we truly do not have many friends, do we?  The Left hates us, the Right hates us...

 

The  Church is hated just as Christ was (and is.)

Heureux etes-vous si on ous persecute a cause de mon Nom.

not sure how to translate in english, but  the beatitudes are in my opinion, the strongest most perhaps expression of the strength of hope in the face of adversity.  

Let them hate us, let us follow the Lord!
