Pope calls for "Responsible Reporting"

In a Sunday blessing from his apartment window in St. Peter's Basilica, Pope Benedict XVI called upon journalists to report stories responsibly. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,155833,00.html He continued saying that "the media can spread peace but also foment violence."

Also reported today is the resignation of Rev. Thomas Reese who was the editor for a U.S. Catholic magazine known as "The American." (Live video:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7779725/) Reese apparently wrote or allowed pieces into the magazine that ran contrary to church teaching, such as gay marriage and stem-cell research. Obviously this move has angered many liberal U.S. Catholics, prompting one news service to indicate that the Catholic Church is "at war with itself."

This is funny to me, because no one is forced to be a Catholic, that IS a matter of CHOICE. The arrogance of the liberals is ridiculous, they seem to believe that the moral tenets of the Church are maleable to fit the political and cultural views of the flock. What it comes down to is that they don't want to be judged, not by man, nor by God.
Jesus' teachings span the centuries and are eternal and are not to be corrupted by the flock, they are supposed to provide a moral guide to living until He returns.

Yes, there is a war, but it is not within the Catholic Church. It is a fight between good and evil...AS FORETOLD BY THE PROPHETS! The war is clearly evident in the U.S. where the rhetoric and legal battles between the Left and Christian Conservatives are actively fought each day. With the word WAR being tossed around so loosely by the media, one can only wonder how long it will be until there is actual conflict?
