Vatican Internal War/ Controversy Causing Headaches to Pro-Lifers World Wide

This is exploding. Hopefully the Pope will now step in and stop all this silliness. See The Recife Case. Rome Has Spoken, But the Dispute Has Not Ended

TERESA BENEDETTA is her commentary on this article on ths page said

This is madness! It is as though Bertone and Fisichella have realized how 'rash' they were to begin with, and would now like to sweep their embarrassment under the rug. But it's the Church and the Pope who bear the brunt of being seemingly inconsistent about applying the doctrine on abortion, which also leaves in confusion all those faithful who are aware of this controversy! Both Bertone and Fisichella - like Marchetto and Pagano - are obviously intelligent men who would not have reached where they are if they were stupid. One can only conclude that ego can get in the way so much that even prelates like them - whose loyalty to the Pope and the the Church one cannot doubt, either - find self-assertion to be more irresistible than consideration of the larger picture, namely, what is good for the Church and for the faithful. That is why we all need to continually pray for the men and women of the Church - because the Pope cannnot do everything by himself nor without the intelligent cooperation of those who work with him and everyone else who carries out the work of the Church.
