The American media have a way of treating the Pope (any Pope) as if he were an American politican angling for votes. And as if American Catholics are the only Catholics in the world who matter, as if their issues and problems are everyone’s. Believing that ordaining women priests is a huge deal in, say, South America, is like believing African women worry about the “glass ceiling.” No, their worries are rather more basic. The MSM cannot wrap its collective secular head around the fact that Benedict’s concern is not with polling data, popularity or whether Maureen Dowd approves of him, but with proclaiming the Truth of Christ.
