BENEDICT XVI: NEWS, PAPAL TEXTS, PHOTOS AND COMMENTARY

Please check 'Protect the Pope' they have the background on this - it's quite ludicrous, actually.


We do have a saying that goes like: the prophet is worth the least in his own home.

It hurts double here, since Bavaria and Ireland are both involved.
Here some clearly crazy, publicity hunting cultists - there pure anti-Catholisism.
So horrible.

I remember my husband telling me about his Granny (born in Ireland) who went to Mass DAILY.
On the day of her funeral it poured cats and dogs.
As the casket was lowered, the Priest said: and may God shine His eternal light on her.
The clouds broke open and a ray of sun shone righ on the casket.. ONLY on the casket.
Incredible.

And now this.... it's heartbreaking.




Thanks for the tip - and for the beautiful story about your Granny's funeral. It was a sign from God, as much as the miraculous survival of the Australian girl three years after being blessed by the Pope....

I have posted the PTP item above. I came across the Irish Times article when I started checking out the Web this morning, and went on to post it before even working on my daily 'almanac' entry... I am still checking out my 'regular' online sources for B16/Church news, so I won't have time till much later to look farther into this crank item and any fallout so far.

You did warn that the anti-Benedict campaign pre-German visit is just beginning and that it will be vicious and no-holds-barred... Still, one is never prepared for the depths and breadths of malice and hate that people are capable of.
