Still, it's only a matter before the conservative Christians get pissed over this. People like Rick Santorum are eventually going to have to face the fact that he stands up for policies that are directly opposite of what the infaliable leader of his church believes. If the pope keeps it up, something's gotta give eventually.

I'm also not a Catholic and most American right wing nuts I know don't even consider Catholics to be "christians". But Damn I can't help but love this guy!
The seems to be a strong movement for "prosperity theology" in the US especially at the moment. I suppose it's the modern day equivalent of "might is right".
I'll give props to any religious leader of any stripe who challenges that.
Plus as I mentioned in another thread, Rush Limbaugh has already come out and snagged him off. Anyone that walking talking argument for retroactive birth control doesn't like must be doing something right!
