Agree absolutely Betty about comparing actions to words.  For me - still think it helps to know what our actual teachings are ... and who educates our bishops, cardinals, the folks in the pews ... about them - and question why some bits are so taken out of context and emphasized over the essence.  

I know in Canada, because of the appointments of the last two - current pope has a very limited range of folks from which to choose.  

Would love to know more about Vatican investments ... and for me that again raises a questions about Carl Anderson ... wasn't he on the "board" or whatever it is of the Vatican Bank for a number of years?  

and he seems so connected with the "organizations for which the Council for National Policy is an umbrella" ... that that Italian Jesuit journal mentioned (the ecumenism of intolerance one)  ... but I can find no decent commentary on that one. 

Have you got one?
