freecounterpoint: Gupta goes Papist

Monday, September 18, 2006

In line with my comments a few posts below. Except his writing is pithier and sharper than mine.

Tecumseh said...: In an article If Europe Hates Itself written when he was still Cardinal Ratzinger, the Pope despaired about Europe's growing inability to distinguish good from evil: "The West reveals ... a hatred of itself, which is strange and can only be considered pathological; the West ... no longer loves itself; in its own history, it now sees only what is deplorable and destructive, while it is no longer able to perceive what is great and pure."

I'm starting to like this Pope. I can see now why the Left hates his guts. Puttinng a mirror in front of solmeone's face can trigger rather nasty reactions...; 9/19/2006 12:21 AM

At the risk of being called a jumping-up-and-down cheerleader by Pepe, I'd say do not sell your writing style short.; 9/19/2006 1:15 AM

My Frontier Thesis said...: Okay, I did some searching and found it. I haven't time to read it all right now, but here it is for others.
