‘Leftist Prayers for a Red Pope Dashed’

“Tuesday night’s NBC News story, “America’s Hopes for a New Pope,” was typical of how the liberal media tried to force the Roman Catholic Church further to the left. The tone of the coverage was that the Catholic Church, in picking a new pope, had to make peace with ‘diversity’—liberals, feminists and homosexuals demanding state recognition of ‘gay marriage’ in the United States.

“With the selection of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina, the liberals have lost out. He opposes abortion, euthanasia, and homosexuality. A Catholic insider tells me, ‘Looks like we might have ourselves a relatively conservative new pope. He appears to be opposed to liberation theology and doesn’t approach “social justice” from the political end.’ The latter means that while he is an advocate of helping the poor, he doesn’t believe this should be done through state socialist schemes.

“Liberal and ‘progressive’ websites are already attacking the first Latin American pope as someone who may have a ‘dark past’ and be linked to the Argentine military during the ‘dirty war’ against the communists. The accusations, which have now been picked up by the Associated Press, show the bitterness of the left, as their hopes were dashed of a ‘Red Pope.’”
