The Passion of Pope Benedict: Six Accusations, One Question

Sandro Magister has an excellent short essay on his blog at

which reviews six areas of strongest leadership of this pontificate. He shows that pedophilia is only the latest weapon aimed against Joseph Ratzinger. And each time, he is attacked where he most exercises his leadership role. Wherever Pope Benedict has most effectively moved the Church forward. Where he has addressed problems that had gone unattended or broken deadlocks (ecumenism, relations with Islam or the Jews), there he is most attacked by his liberal enemies. Having hoped for one of their own, they have never forgiven him for being elected pope and continuing in the path of John Paul the Great.
