3. He well could drive a stake through the heart of a myth

If he turns out to be the doctrinaire that he appears to be....turning his back on South America and the hopes of the desperate there could result in a reevaluation by the followers.

6. This may be happening now. Trouble is,...

... though people in Latin America are leaving the RC church in droves, many are gravitating to what are variously described in the media as "Pentecostal", "charismatic" or "fundamentalist" sects.

Hard to say, at this point whether this is an improvement or not. My hunch is "not".

9. It's not. Believe me, I've been to a Mass at a charismatic church.

Speaking in tongues is not a step in the right direction. :hi:

8. I wish followers here (zombie brigade) would have as much sense

as the Latin Americans - we are starting to look like a bunch of morons to many in the world. Stupid Bush and his mindless zombies - who cares if Catholics leave the church - the fundies are the real killers.

News. He's forming a business relationship with Jerry Falwell. Benedict and Jerry Ice Cream Parlors. What's the flavor of the month guys? Magdalene Madness, Guilty Pleasures, Whipping Boy Berry, or Opus Pocus?
