| #6 You don't have to post Larouche or Icke; we've seen his stuff already too. |

| #5 Ok, my bad. I read that from the links in the article I posted yesterday, and while I did note the religious tone of the piece (and the Jehova's witnesses like title), I thought it was interesting. So, next, I'll post Larouche or Icke, still haven't made up my mind. |

| #4 They're probably right that Benedict is moving quietly and firmly towards better control of the Curia and the Vatican bureaucracy. Those who were afraid of his election to the Papacy had in mind the fact that he actually has firm, traditional beliefs and is rather consistent in them. That said, the group that produces this magazine is a fringe sect that believes that they have the sole key to unlocking literal prophecy in the Bible. Given their positions, it's pretty likely they also believe that the Roman church is the anti-Christ. |

| #3 The whole thing reads like a hit piece on Rumsfeld. Replace Rumsfeld with Pope, Cheney with Tietmeyer, Halliburton and Germany. Typical conspiracy meme. |

| #2 The author seems to think that a "bug." I think it's more like a "feature." I didn't bother to go through the entire website, but even with a simple browsing, this is clearly a religious website with an agenda (cf. the name of the magazine)... but like yesterday's "Briton sickness" from where I branched, or the other article above, it has some interesting ideas. |

| #1 Benedict has recently begun, with typical German thoroughness—one could even say administrative brutality—trimming the fat in the governing body of the Catholic Church, the Curia, and placing hand-picked troops in his front line. This is a pope gearing up for battle. Benedict is preparing to wage war with any who would challenge his word on dogma, on liturgy, and on any of his initiatives at promoting a great religious revival within Rome’s collective global congregation of over 1 billion souls. The author seems to think that a "bug." I think it's more like a "feature." |
