How Helpful is Contemporary Papal Globe-Trotting?

No serious re-evaluation of the papal office in sight?

Papal visit to Korea to focus on reconciliation, youth, laity and martyrs
Korean Church: Without a “culture of life” the country will wither away
Msgr. You: Pope Francis in Korea, a "volcano" who will inflame mission among youth
“Korean Christians teach us about martyrdom and announcing the Gospel”
Interview with Cardinal Filoni, who says the Korean Church can grow like yeast, just as it says in the Gospel, and not through spiritual “marketing” strategies

Pope Francis will meet 20 Asian young adult "leaders," which includes BoA (and not Kim Yuna?). I think Kim Yuna may get married before BoA, and at an appropriate age, too. BoA (and many of the Korean Catholic female celebs in their 20s and 30s) seem to be following the typical life program for women in industrial capitalist societies. I wouldn't call her a Catholic leader.

Camp X-Ray

Probably meant to be your typical liberal multicult propaganda about making peace with the Other but Kristen Stewart's character getting involved with a Gitmo detainee? Sounds like something that the Androsphere would rightly mock as an example of hypergamy in fiction.

Hesitant about posting this.

Though it is rather unbelievable to some, since he is in a relationship with Kim Yu Na. But maybe she's being a good Catholic girl and waiting for marriage.


Was listening to the radio several Sundays ago; found out only then that Barbara Simpson's show was gone from KSFO. She's still writing for WND though.
