januarius, I disagree. Pope Benedict started something very important with the speech he made. I saw immediate reaction by many Islamic scholars who tried to respond to the idea that their religion is lacking in reason. He opened a new arena. Perhaps a necessary battlefield. I think the man is brilliant and has been the right Pope for this time.

Considering the number of leftists in the Vatican, I fear you may have your “leader-type” pope sooner rather than later, but will he be Catholic?

I was going to say that I only want to see that meeting if it’s in a steel cage, but I don’t think Benedict has that kind of fire in his belly. That Nigerian guy looks pretty solid, though.

Naturally he was the one who cancelled, not the Pope. Apparently Benedict had less of a problem with Tantawi’s concept of martyrdom than Tantawi’s colleagues had with Benedict’s speech last summer:

Pope Benedict is turning out to be a really weak Pope, and I'm an orthodox Catholic. He is going down as one of the weaker Popes in Church history; he has only had one encyclical in the last two years, and it was about love. He just doesn't get the Muslim threat or else has been cowed by dhimmitude. He understands the dangers of secularism, but he does not know how to govern, thus making the problems of atheistic secularism worse. What a disappointment! It is time for a Pope that is outside the postmodern European atmosphere. I linked to the type of Catholic we need leading the Church: a type of Catholic like Father Nnorum from Nigeria. Cardinal Arinze, also from Nigeria, or Cardinal Pell from Australia would be a great Popes.

“The offensive observations by Pope Benedict XVI against Islam make this visit not positive,”

We’re making progress. The Pope didn’t lie, he just told the ugly truth about Islam.

“Where are we in numbering the Crusades, again?”

“I think it’s twelve, your Holiness.”

“well, we can’t have 13, bad luck. Ok, Crusade #14, front and center!”

Of course, all over the middle east, Sunni Muslims are protesting in the streets demanding to know why their leaders aren’t putting more effort into “diplomacy” with the enemy.

Oh wait…..that didn’t happen.

Benedict is too busy trying to scrub off the evil after meeting with Don King this week.
