The Pope said what?

Okay, so the latest flap on the Catholic end of the blogosphere seems to be the Pope's interview in August with the reporter from "America" magazine. Supposedly we're now hearing the Pontiff believes "gay is okay" and "don't sweat little things like abortion".

Here we go again, the MSM fueling controversy at the expense of truth. Meanwhile back at the ranch, a good portion of fellow fish eaters are hysterically hyperventilating over this interview. You don't want to know how often I come across supposedly sane folk ready to label Francis as the Antichrist.

My advice to anyone wanting the truth is READ THE THING FOR YOURSELF!

Don't rely on hearsay and the Fourth Estate, with that in mind I present the following hyperlink for your pleasure: http://americamagazine.org/pope-interview If you'd like to thank me, just say some prayers for my family's salvation. My own is already assured, everyone knows there are no submariners down in Hell.

Get comfy, it's a long read.

Personally I think the Pope does his job best when he's making everybody stop, think and feel uncomfortable. But maybe thats just my own longing for "Catholic guilt".
