Libs devastated that new Pope is Catholic
This was just too good not to post. Bear in mind that most liberals would have you believe that John Kerry is Catholic, despite the fact that he consistently goes against Church teachings and the fact that many American Archbishops and priests have barred him from receiving Communion in their churches.

Much to their amazement and consternation, liberals have discovered that the 265th Roman pontiff is rigid and doctrinaire -- not a happening dude. If that weren’t enough, he believes Catholicism is true, and other religions are in error to the extent that they deviate from it. Moreover, he rejects feminism, believes homosexual conduct is sinful and warns against what he terms the “dictatorship of relativism.”
In other words, the liberal establishment is forced to reluctantly conclude that Benedict XVI is – a Catholic. Something will have to be done about this.
While Catholics the world over rejoiced in the election of a new pope, over at the Vatican of liberal orthodoxy, eyebrows were raised and palms were getting moist. Coverage in The New York Times the day after the selection of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger to succeed John Paul II reflected the paper’s concern.
In what passes for news coverage in the pages of the Times, Benedict was described as a “hard-line German theologian who served as John Paul II’s defender of the faith.” But the man known for his “doctrinal rigidity” even “went beyond John Paul’s conservative theology.”
“Pope Benedict’s well known stands,” the Times informed the faithful in the hushed tones of revelation, “include the assertion that Catholicism is ‘true’ and other religions are ‘deficient’; that the modern, secular world, especially in Europe, is spiritually weak; and that Catholicism is in competition with Islam. He has also strongly opposed homosexuality, women as priests and stem cell research.”
