Ann – Just a quick note to say Thank You for your perseverance as you continue to hammer home the reality of Pope Benedict’s “resignation”. I have recently watched dozens of podcasts of various Catholic men addressing the “crisis” within the Church. The pusillanimity on display was irritating. All of the same absurd tropes you have brought to our attention were present. To see seemingly intelligent men timidly proffer incoherent arguments on such a grave subject that has scandalized so many to either leave or never enter the Church, was unfortunately not surprising. As Upton Sinclair allegedly said in 1934, “It is hard to make a man understand something when his salary depends upon him not understanding it.”

Best regards,
