| In covering the selection of Pope Francis I, many in the media speculated as to whether the new head of the Roman Catholic Church would take a more liberal theological position on homosexuality and abortion. But in his regular Thursday appearance on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show, Mark Steyn, author of “After America: Get Ready for Armageddon,” viewed that media speculation along with other “trivial” aspects of the coverage to be ridiculous considering the church has held those same beliefs for thousands of years now. “Well, you know, I think the papal coverage in the so-called serious media

Comments:
Did they really think that the cardinals would elect a Pope that would turn its back on 2,000 years of church doctrine?
They probably did think that, which just goes to show you how smart the MSM is.

The MSM haven´t a clue regarding the Catholic Church. They haven´t even a clue regarding religion in general, let alone the specifics.
Sin is sin is sin ... a violation against the laws of God. No one can change God´s laws!

If you are a practicing homosexual, then the odds are you have no desire to be Catholic (or any denomination of Christianity that actually expects it´s followers to at least try to live by Bibilical principals).
So why would a homosexual care in the least what the Pope believes or any Christian church preaches and expects of followers of Christ?
Bottom line: If you don´t believe what any church preaches, don´t be a member of that church. Normal people, and I would assume most homosexuals, get that. Why can´t the idiotic MSM???

The dems´ always biased lefty/lib media is both predictable and worthless. They are out there with their microphones repeating the same-old aggitator statist schtick day in, day out. They each even use the same wording when reading the dems´ PC talking points! The American MSM´s tired old modus opperandi remains stuck on the addage, ´´It ain´t news, unless we, (the dems´ media), says it´s news.´´ Thus, all of the MSM´s reports are unreliable and slanted away from truth. But that OLD dem bogus propaganda isn´t working quite as well anymore, eh?!!!!
To fill the urgent factual news information vacuum, Conservative talk radio, with Rush, Mark Levin, etc., the internet with Drudge, Lucianne, Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, etc., and EACH venue of the NEW MEDIA came along at just the right time!!!! Freedom needs and relies upon factual, truthful journalism in order for everyone to be informed and that Constitutional requirement for our Liberty is specifically acknowledged and secured in the very First Amendment! That vital service for Liberty is now being filled by the NEW MEDIA, because the old media has no credibility at all.
With such a bad reputation, who still pays any attention to the old media for factual reporting anyway?

Pope Francis is NOT a non-European Pope. It is unclear, but he is obviously either of all Italian heritage or is of mixed Italian and Spanish heritage, you can´t really be more European then that, even though he happened to be born and lived his life in Argentina.

Secularists and other god-deprived people all hope for a ´spiritual´ leader who will denounce traditional Judeo-Christian religious beliefs and moral teachings, and instead promote their unholy worldview. According to the Bible, that leader will come one day. He is called the False Prophet, and he will lead them to worship the Antichrist to their peril.

That the feminist Left - against marriage for heterosexual women since the 60s - is trying to force marriage on gays, the vast majority of whom have no interest in marriage whatsoever, should tell you all you need to know about the Left´s actual intentions on this "issue".

On his radio show this week, conservative talker Mark Levin said that Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, who on Tuesday claimed that opponents of same-sex marriage do nothing but “thump the Bible,” should stop degrading his audience. “Thump the Bible?” Levin asked. “Have I thumped the Bible once in an hour and a half on the air today? … Why are you putting down your audience? I thought you stood for the folks. And you sound like [President Barack] Obama, with the ‘clinging to their guns and religion’ line. You should show respect to your audience.”

To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary….

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving."
