GROWN UP, SERIOUS PEOPLE

Joseph Bottum writes a column here discussing the elevation of Cardinal Ratzinger to the 265th pope of the Catholic Church. His election has sent a clear message that the College of Cardinals "wants the church to continue along the lines estalished by John Paul II."

The money quote, from John Paul II's encyclical "Veritatis Splendor", is this:

"A grown-up, serious people doesn't abort its babies.
A grown-up, serious people doesn't murder its sick and old.
And a grown-up, serious people doesn't destroy the structure of the family just for the sake of easy sex."

This is another pope for grown-up, serious people!

WORD FOR THE DAY: polemical
