From
this Reuters article:
"It's important to have a strong progressive Democratic vote against John Roberts," Ralph Neas, president of the liberal People for the American Way said. "If there is a vigorous opposition, that will send a signal on the next vacancy that there could be a contested nomination."
It's not about John Roberts. It's about the next nominee. Why does Reuters even quote someone like that? Is it because no one else is stupid enough to make that statement?
"I want the Senate to focus not on who the next nominee is going to be, but the nominee I got up there now."
-President George W. Bush
"As dysfunctional as the men's tour is, the women's tour blows it away. For example, it's impossible for there to be enough practice courts for men and women to share without some kind of bickering.
"It's insane. They literally would prefer to hit four on a court with their coach than two on a court with another player. They live in Bizarro World. However, one of the benefits of having the women around is the ever-increasing desire for each and every young sassy player trying to outdo or, in this case, under-dress the next.
"My prediction: Pretty soon the WTA practice courts and maybe even the match courts will resemble a women's volleyball court, with g-strings and bikinis being the only logical next step. Not that I'm complaining, or even think that wouldn't be a valuable marketing tool. But I'd like to recommend to players both female and male, and even coaches out on the practice courts ... if you resemble a beached whale, keep your gear on."

I can't wait to see the fallout from this one...
Pope Benedict, but then-Cardinal Ratzinger:
"Peace is not the first civic duty, and a bishop whose only concern is not to have any problems and to gloss over as many conflicts as possible is an image I find repulsive."
Via
The Democracy of the Dead
I was reading Jonathan Lasts'
compilation of Pope Benedict descriptions...
Pro-life, doctrinal, authoritarian, hard-line, fundamental, defender-of-the-faith, totalitarian, strict, inadmissable of other faiths, inquisitor, hostile to modernity, asserting papal supremacy, quashing internal debate and dissent...
...I'm speechless. I've just realized how divisive Jesus Christ was!
My favorite:
"Cardinal Ratzinger's choice was sure to be controversial because of his unbending orthodoxy on fundamental doctrinal issues as well as his World War II record as a member although mandatory and unenthusiastic of the Hitler Youth."
--John Phillips, Washington Times
I especially like "fundamental doctrinal issues" for redundancy and the almost-forgiving tone of the description of Ratzinger's childhood. I wonder if Phillips would describe a rape victim's situation in the same manner -- mandatory and unenthusiastic. Sheesh.
The reaction surrounding Pope Benedict XVI is fascinating. Unfortunately for me, I was unable to see the announcement live and was unable to even get to a live TV for hours afterwards. When I did finally get a chance to get back to my hotel room (I was in Las Vegas of all places), the only cable news channel the hotel carried was CNN. By then the excitement apparently had run its course and it was time to seek out every last dissenter in the United States to talk about how the Church "
took a step backwards" in the evangelization efforts made by Pope John Paul II.
Some clown in the Boston Globe writes:
The cardinals made a choice so cautious as to verge on the callous. If Ratzinger's past words guide his rule, his papacy has the potential to irritate and inflame religious and cultural tensions around the world.
John Kerry, on the election of Pope Benedict XVI, said:
“The election of a new pope is a great moment of hope, renewal and possibility for the Catholic church. Like all Catholics, Teresa and I pray for the Holy Father, extend our hopes for the Church, and hope that Pope Benedict XVI’s pontificate will touch the world in the same way Pope John Paul II did, reaching out to all people everywhere to find common ground, and guiding the faithful in a time of challenge and change across the globe.”
Put aside the fact that then-Cardinal Ratzinger was one of Pope John Paul II's closest brothers in all of his efforts and understand this: the Pope, nor the Church, owe anything to anyone. I swear I've said this before, and I bet I could type something along those lines into the search features on this site and find it, but I've found myself telling the very same people that I've stated this to on other occassions and finding as though it's the first time I've said it. The Church, as the faithful believe, is The Truth. The Truth is not under any obligation to find common ground with that which is not The Truth. The Pope's duty on earth is to stand for Truth
; to stand for The Church. While the church is universal and includes all of God's children (those on the right path and those on the wrong path), it is not even within the Pope's power to change the right people to the wrong people and vice versa. Pope Benedict XVI, nor any pope back to Peter, does not have the ability to make what is wrong right, to make the untrue true. Homosexuality, birth control, abortion, and euthanasia will always be wrong, for instance, no matter who the pope might be.
Pope John Paul II made it one of his works of life to reach out to other religions and show love for all of God's people. I have no doubt that Pope Benedict XVI will do the same. However, maybe it is time for the world to hold other religions or people with other beliefs responsible for making some "common ground." And when you stop me to say, "yeah, but we believe what we believe" you'll know where I'm coming from; you'll know where Pope John Paul II was coming from; you'll know where Pope Benedict XVI is coming from. The "common ground" is for relativists.

Some excerpts from those articles:
From Patrick Ruffini:
Hours from the white smoke and tolling bells, the debate rages about just what kind of Pope Benedict XVI will be. On one side is mainstream media, with its one-sided, kneejerk portrayal of the "ultraconservative", "doctrinaire" Ratzinger. The tawdry spectacle tonight on CNN and MSNBC reminds me of a political campaign where the task is to define the opponent before he defines himself, and I know a thing or two about what that looks like.
From Joseph Bottum:
The day before he was elected pope, Ratzinger preached to the cardinals, "We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires."
The rejection of this — the insistence that there is a better way to live: That's the line John Paul II took in Veritatis Splendor. And that's the line the church insists it will continue taking by the election of Joseph Ratzinger as Pope Benedict XVI.
America should be grateful. The Catholic Church has another pope who will keep calling the citizens of the United States to be a grown-up, serious people.
From E.J. Dionne Jr.:
The obligation of the Christian, Ratzinger has said, "is to recover the capacity for nonconformism." Just because the world (or at least certain wealthy, educated parts of it) is going in one direction does not mean that the church should follow. On the contrary, he and those who follow him believe that the key to Catholic survival in the face of militant Islam and an evangelical Christianity that is growing rapidly in Latin America is to offer an alternative that is unembarrassed in declaring itself as the true path to God. Some may be bothered by that. Ratzinger is not.
From Michael Novak:
Cardinal Ratzinger's selection as pope, however, has been less heartily welcomed by many commentators in Europe and the United States, who have quickly characterized him as an "authoritarian," a "watchdog" and, most peculiarly, a "neoconservative."
But this is a severe misreading of the man and shows that his critics paid little attention to that sermon, how he connected with the million or so young people who turned out, led not by enthusiasm, but by a remarkable sense of prayer, devotion and respectful silence.
From Daniel Johnson:
As Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctine of the Faith (the Holy Office) since 1981, Ratzinger has been treated as a kind of grand inquisitor by the media. This is based on the “persecution” of a handful of theologians, most famously Hans Küng. In reality, this persecution amounted to a change of job title: Küng could no longer call himself a professor of Catholic theology, but continued to teach exactly the same things at the same university.
I once discussed Ratzinger with Küng, his Swiss contemporary and arch-rival. While admitting that the new Pope was a clever man, Küng insisted that he had done great damage to the Church. But Küng believes that all the great world religions essentially teach the same, which is manifestly incompatible with Catholic doctrine. I came away with the impression that of these two brilliant theologians, it was Küng who had succumbed to the temptation to think he knew better, while Ratzinger had submitted to the authority of the Church. Ratzinger is no inquisitor, but Küng is a heretic.
And so when he described himself on the balcony yesterday as “a simple and humble worker in the Lord’s vineyard”, there was no false modesty.
That is how he sees himself. And given his precarious state of health, he would gladly have accepted another candidate. But there was nobody else up to the job.
From Linda Chavez:
I still cringe when my local parish choir sings spiritual ditties that sound like they belong in a revival of "Hair" or when the homilist sounds like he's taken his inspiration from the most recent version of "I'm O.K., You're O.K." instead of the Gospels, but then I can always find consolation in the fact that the pews are mostly full on any given Sunday. I keep hearing that the Catholic Church in the United States is in trouble. But you wouldn't know it from the churches I attend, not just in Northern Virginia, where I live, but in parishes around the country that I drop in on when I'm traveling.
The day after Pope John Paul II died, I visited a parish in Herndon, Virginia, to attend a late afternoon Mass. I sat in the back, like I usually do, and marveled at the crowd. It wasn't just middle-aged people like me, but young people -- married couples with children, giggly teenage girls attending with their friends, and boys and young men, many of whom came alone, not dragged by parents. I've been to packed churches in the middle of the summer on an Indian reservation and to standing-room only crowds in tourist towns from Grand Lake, Colo., to Palm Beach, Fla. Maybe church attendance is down -- I keep reading it is -- but I haven't seen it. Indeed, the churches seem every bit as full as they were when I was in grade school.
It's hard to know whether Pope Benedict XVI will, over time, arouse the same adulation as his predecessor, but his election this week surely evoked awe and wonder. In an age of instant electronic communication, when whole books can be transmitted through the ether of cyberspace in a few seconds, the Catholic Church still chose to announce to the world a new pope had been chosen through white smoke emanating from an old-fashioned stove-pipe chimney. I can't help but think that many people who watched the drama unfolding over the last few weeks at the Vatican will be inspired to return to church even if they haven't been there in years. Maybe that will be Pope John Paul II's most lasting legacy and a gift to his able successor.
From Roger Kimball:
It looks like the philosopher Alisdair MacIntyre got his wish, at least for now. In his book After Virtue (1981; 2nd ed. 1984), MacIntyre offered the "disquieting suggesting" that we in the West live among the unorganized fragments of a shattered world view and that we have "very largely, if not entirely, lost our comprehension" of morality. Hence the "after" in his title: as traditionally conceived--as conceived, that is by Aristotle--a virtuous life was first of all a life dedicated to the practice of certain substantive virtues: courage, prudence, magnanimity, and so on. We moderns, fearful of being "judgmental"--who's to say what counts as prudent behavior?
From Christopher Levenick:
Many will no doubt balk at calling Benedict XVI humble. To the contrary, they insist, he is an arrogant, uncompromising hard-liner. Such complaints usually refer to his having been tasked--for almost 25 years--with the thankless job of patrolling the boundaries of Catholic theology. Bishops have, of course, long wrestled with theologians; as early as 1277, Stephen Tempier, bishop of Paris, was compelled to restrain university theologians from replacing Christ with Aristotle. Though this tension between authority and inquiry is actually quite creative, in an age that smirks at the idea of objective truth, it struck critics as needlessly heavy-handed.
It was a burden that Ratzinger bore, dutifully and patiently, in the service of the Church. He pleaded with John Paul II, begging permission to retire so that he could at last return to the quiet academic life he left in Regensberg. As he writes in his memoirs, Benedict XVI finds much consolation in Psalm 72:23: ut iumentum factus sum apud te et ego semper tectum. Unlike most modern translations, the new Pope follows Augustine's rendition: "A draft animal am I before You, for You, and this is precisely how I abide with you." Like Augustine, he sees himself as a "good, sturdy ox to pull God's cart in this world."
Benedict XVI will probably not carry the papacy with John Paul's seeming ease. His pontificate will rather be a steady shoulder to the plough, the work of an unassuming servant, a servant of the servants of God.
