Hmmm... I must say the 'accusations' are turning into the old stereotype kind of thing. This isn't really news. Is it? I imagine this article could have been written five years ago. Simply substitude the abuse part with the Hitler youth part.
The only Gaffe is can see is the lack of brain by the press, who seem to find it too time consuming or difficult to actually understand Joseph Ratzinger's personality and /or his thinking.
I do believe that they're furious that he stubbornly ignores their demands for statements!!
God Bless Him!!
BTW: I'm totally freaking with happiness, because of Liam's First Communion tomorrow!!
I hope it's not too much to ask to include him in your prayers. As tough as it is, I'll do my very best to keep him on the 'straight road'!
Dear Heike...
What a wonderful event to mark! Please post pictures if you can. I'll start a thread on THE CATHOLIC EXPERIENCE for such photos and accounts and start iT off with Papino's recollection of his own first CommunioN, when he answered a question from one of the First Communion children in Rome back in October 2005 - his first Q&A ever as Pope.
Sorry for the delayed response. I haven't quite gotten back into my usual stride since my Palm Sunday Internet outage, and my continuing 'deficit' just built up with all the Holy Week events right up through Easter and all its corollary social obligations....
Love and prayers for yourself, your family, and especially, Liam on his big day. (I looked up what his name means - 'strong-willed warrior'. Is there Irish ancestry in your family line or your husband's?]
