Since "they're not all like this", if you please what is the point of his post? Since every one of the nasty faults Mark imputes to "some" trads can just as readily be found amongst non-trads, Mark's post (along with his "who, me?" plausible denials of animus) is either meaningless or else a fine example of the passive aggression for which he so handily skewers others. So much of what Mark says is very, very good, but when he's bad -- you know what I mean.<br /><br />Romulus Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-7772389004894690062013-02-18T10:51:57.475-06:002013-02-18T10:51:57.475-06:00I highly doubt that any pope would have made any w...I highly doubt that any pope would have made any witch doctor a cardinal anyway. So I don't think we need to worry about an African witch-doctor becoming pope. I truly am shocked by the amount of racism towards blacks that STILL exists.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146958313018964937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-36751056540525990102013-02-17T16:18:24.041-06:002013-02-17T16:18:24.041-06:00Judging from the anecdote included by the Nigerian...Judging from the anecdote included by the Nigerian priest I heard preach today in South London there are plenty of witch doctors in Africa still. Certainly that was the impression he wanted to give. They just aren't Catholic priests let alone Cardinals so aren't likely to be in the running for papal elections.
