@Chris in Maryland. Thank you for your constructive comments given in Christian charity. Let me be clear. I am a businessman and, quite frankly, I prefer working with c+, B- students who mature to customers because they help me move product and thus meet my payroll. A students are always involved in theory even when they become Popes. I have no quarrel with Pope Benedict but sooner or later "the rubber meets the road." Has any serious number of people been converted to the True Faith (and not some tawdry knockoffs) by Pope A, B or C? Has the Church clarified its position on ANY serious matter on any Pope's watch? What the Church calls "teachings" translate to "opinions" by the time they get to the person in the pews. That was my point above. This couple has been told by priest friends that they are operating in good faith. Young people take time today, they are told. The couple who became Hindus are apostates! Millions of American Catholics receive Communion unworthily. Are they told by anyone this is wrong? - Manfred
