What a liberal jackass. His responces are the perfect example of modernism. Everything can change with time. What kind of pope, If he is pope, is asked if the church will ever allow contraception and can't give the clear answer of no? Nothing is untouchable to this man. He respects every cultures traditions but the catholic traditions. What a hypocrit. I cannot stand him. He acts as if he's so smart....as if he's got it all figured out...as if what he says is obvious and us trads are just too damn dumb to know any better.
I've had to wonder how much of his attitude and approach are due to his Argentinian upbringing. It's an Argentine stereotype that they can be, ahem, a little bit too self-assured and "know-it-alls". I worked with an Argentinian woman one time, and oh, dear goodness, you have no idea. Pushy, overbearing, and unlikeable in the extreme, couldn't open her mouth without saying "you should...". I barely have words to describe it.
Let me be clear that I am not saying
all Argentinians are like this, just that it's a well-known cultural trait.
