Clerical Losers
Code:
		If there were any "losers" in the election of **Pope Benedict XVI**, they certainly will not be found among the faithful, or the Latin American or African Catholic churches. No, the biggest losers are here in the United States, where influential, liberal Catholic priests who have actively and publicly defied the Vatican, along with several Cardinals selected late in the reign of Pope John Paul II, find themselves in a bit of a political pickle.
“Pope Benedict knows better than any one else who the trouble makers are in the United States, and he knows who has worked against the Church’s teachings there,” says an ordained source at the Vatican. “You will be seeing changes soon.”

Sooner than expected. Late last week it was announced that the Rev. Thomas Reese, the editor of the Jesuit weekly America, was leaving his position at the magazine to be reassigned to new duties.

Reese was one of a number of American commentators in Rome during the recent pontifical election, and while he was often restrained in his remarks about then-Cardinal Josef Ratzinger, he made it clear he was not a supporter of his candidacy.

America magazine, the public organ of the Jesuit order in U.S., is one of the most liberal Catholic periodicals, second only to the National Catholic Reporter, an independent publication.

John Paul II was as orthodox as they come, but he didn’t crack down on any more than a few such priests - and he had 25 years in which to do it.

I think that there might be some action taken against “the usual suspects,” and then B16 will realize that he has more to do as Pope than just get rid of a few dozen dissidents.
 
Has a new Prefect of Congregation for the Doctrine of the
Faith been appointed?
 
VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope Benedict XVI is sounding out top Vatican cardinals on filling his old job as the chief guardian of the Vatican’s conservative doctrine and one of the candidates is San Francisco’s archbishop, but no decision has been made, a Vatican official said Wednesday.
 
Thanks!

Isn’t the Associated Press funny?

“the chief guardian of the Vatican’s conservative doctrine”

Does the Vatican have all these rooms in it with different doctrines and different guardians? Who guards the liberal doctrine? Who guards the others and what are they? Wh guards the guardians?
