The
Church largely has failed in it's responsibility to consistently and
seriously confront those who attack her. Syncretism has proved a
deadly and debilitating virus.

Christ, the portrait of Mary with excrement surrounding her; the
constant attacks on her standards like same sex "marriage;" the near
silence on the absolute reality of the binary nature of male and
female...Here is where Church authorities should and could speak out

their intimidating and often deadly tactics, but where is the outrage?
Weakness invites attacks.
I thought in view of our A team conversation on Kim Kardashian, you'd enjoy reading this article on the pope and his views on Islam.
