    Right?

    Bacon humor is uncalled for, but bashing the head of the largest Christian church is totally cool.

      Nothing wrong with disagreeing with the Pope and still being Catholic. Catholics don't run from church to church looking for a leader they are in total agreement with.

        If my churches minister espoused a view of such intolerance I'd have to find a new church. With the present leadership on the Catholic Church I'd have to find another way to enjoy my beliefs in God and His way.
        Here is the quote from the article

        "If you trust only men you have lost," he told the young people in a long, rambling talk about war, trust and politics after putting aside his prepared address.

        "It makes me think of ... people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit a distrust, doesn't it?" he said to applause.
        Hardly "..such intolerance..".

          Would you stop being an American if you disapprove of the statements of our leaders?

            One thing is for sure when the Pope Speaks People Listen. No matter their religion or political culture.

            Even those that claim they could never be Catholic but post about it anyway.

            As usual it's always about context.

              The mere mention of bacon creates some nice moral outrage, but bashing the pope results in silence.

              Funny that.
              Hmmmm...indeed. Thanks for mentioning Bacon, now you have gotten me hungry!
