"Check it out. When you watch MSNBC and Fox, notice that, at least once every two minutes or so, the names of Bush and Reagan are brought up in the same breaths as the Good Pope.
It is like, the these media are using the opportunity
of the death of this Great Man, the Pope, to push the memory of Ronald Reagan, and uplift GW Bush.
The tyranny of the media marches on. What do you think?
I just saw it again. It is a sin."
Re:
If the media is "using the opportunity of the death of...the Pope to push the memory of President Ronald Reagan and uplift President George W. Bush" then they are wrong.That would be a sin.
However; the Pope himself believed that the Roman Catholic Church should be involved in politics when the efforts of the RCC in politics benefit the people.
The late Pope John Paul II said this in public speaches many times.
Some would even go as far to say that the late (Extraordinary)Pope John Paul II was a proponant of liberation theology, which is a branch of theology that is very concerned about the plight of third world countries and or the poor and the needy.
To the extent that the late (Extraordinary)Pope John Paul was involved with political leaders , if political leaders are mentioned within that context, I see no sin in that, but to use the death of a Pope for political gain is imho a sin.
