| Catholic Church reformers have second thoughts about Mr. Pope Ratzinger Mar. 30, 2010 By Jeff Diamant, Religion News Service [Catholic National Reporter] To many advocates of reform in the Catholic Church, the election of conservative Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as pope in April 2005 was a blow to hopes the Vatican would change positions on gender, sexuality, divorce, and the church hierarchy. Yet the result encouraged three prominent reformers who were appointed to a U.S. bishops' National Review Board. The three American Catholics -- a judge, an attorney and a newspaper publisher -- were concerned mainly with the clergy sex scandal. They had met with Ratzinger in his Vatican office in 2004 for an extensive discussion on the cover-ups of clergy sex abuse of children, and came to view Ratzinger as the best churchman anywhere on the issue. A year later, when he became Pope Benedict XVI, they were often quoted praising him in American news articles. But that was then. <http://ncronline.org/news/accountability/church-reformers-have-second-thoughts-pope> "The worst has not yet been revealed, " (SOON) according to the space Zeta people. |
