The new Prefect for Religious, and the President of the so-called "Commitee for the New Evangelization", do not deserve the Cardinals hat.
ReplyDeleteBoth are liberals (especially the Prefect for Religious). Benedict XVI is a wimp Pope who replaced the courageous Cardinal Franck Rode as Prefect of Religious (the man who initiated the investigation of USA nuns), with this Brazilian jellyfish liberal, and what was worse, nominating as Secretary of the Congregation for religious a real radical dissident in the person of now Archbishop Joseph Tobin, an American who sympathizes with all the dissenting liberal radical femminist nuns world wide-but especially in the USA). Nothing will come of the investigation of USA nuns with these two clowns in office.
And the President of the "New Evangelization Commitee, Salvatore Fischiella is also a liberal who should never wear CArdinal red.
