    Well, the are coming out of the wood works, and from blogs I typically agree with.

    I left a comment on that one, but he needs to approve it.

    Thanks for your great post, so thorough as ever.

    The Holy Father's speech to Muslim leaders today was quite forthright and for any rational person who reads it in full, will realize He is not kowtowing to Muslims.
