Don't let MSM tarnish John Paul II


John Paul II http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/ Posted by Hello

Pope John Paul II is said to know the time of his death. Yet, he continues in his duties with great grace and dignity. The end for this great man is, no doubt, near. His legacy should be one of great deeds - one-third of the triumvirate, along with Ronal Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, who brought down the Soviet Union. The MSM will never give him his due – you can count on that.

It has already started. Whenever John Paul is mentioned, there is some reference to sex scandals in the church. The MSM will never tout John Paul as the man who faced down the Soviets in Poland, or the man who faced death and met it on his own terms. Instead they will focus on scandal, not because scandal is typical of the Catholic Church, but rather because it is a way to destroy the church.

Statistics prove that your kids are safer from molestation going to confession or serving as an alter boy in a Catholic church than going to a public school, hanging out with Protestant clergy or staying home – where most molestations occur. So, if people quote the MSM and condemn Pope John Paul for condoning molestation, tell them that, as usual, the MSM is biased and misinformed. Direct them here for the truth.

The reason that the focus in these cases is on the Catholic Church is because the MSM takes great joy attacking anything with a religious tinge. Why go after a one teacher when you can assault the entire Catholic Church. Also, the “root of all evil” – money- plays a role. Why sue a single school board when you can go after the hundreds of millions available in the Catholic Church?

Sure the Catholic Church has had a problem, and several of its Bishops and Cardinals have been slow to act. But statistics do not bear out the MSM’s unrelenting assault on the church. More importantly, those statistics will not bear out the MSM’s demonizing John Paul II, after he departs this earth for his great reward.
