Blame it on the Pope
For the Mccanns, in their darkest hours of wondering the fate of their 4 year old daughter, it was their faith that kept them going…..that was until the Pope yanked his support and pulled their images from the Vatican website. Get the story here.
In their dark hours, it was faith that kept them going. They had nowhere else to go.
They took their torment to the very seat of their faith – to the Vatican, where the Pope held their hands and told them he would pray for them. They seemed to gain great strength from that.
But now, in their hour of need, like Pontius Pilate, he has washed his hands of them. A whiff of guilt, and the Catholic hierarchy distance themselves. And this from an organization built on guilt and hypocrisy.
Ouch! Whether or not this obviously bigoted author believes her ill written tripe about the Pope isn’t the point of my post. What I found most glaring was the common thread (of which some of us are guilty of from time to time) of her prideful and self righteous hypocrisy. In this case, her condemnation of the media (and Pope) was for the exact same sin of which she, herself, is guilty. As judge and jury, her unfounded mindset of guilt and judgment blindly and without cause – condemns the Pope, than proceeds to criticize the press for simply duplicating her deeds of prejudging others. In fact, she says it best in her own words, like a self fulfilling prophecy, when she writes, “there is a condemnation mindset creeping in that is sickening to watch.”

What exactly is it that is happening. I gathered something about a missing daughter and the parents asked for prayers… and the Vatican website?

Huh? “Ditched” because the Vatican website stopped carrying a news story?? As though the Pope himself took a break from everything ELSE he’s doing (like caring for the needs of 1 billion people with a staff 1% the size any modern government would be for the same number of people…) just to delete it? Talk about blaming someone for a crime they didn’t do! And without EVIDENCE of “the pope ditching” them! Guilty until proven innocent anyone???

That was without a doubt the worst article I have ever read in my life. I am now dumber for having read it.
