No, I am not interested in the Pope's eyeglasses. I do find it distressing, however, that the Holy Father does not seem concerned with the optics surrounding his visit to North America. Specifically, doesn't it look like he is offering comfort and appeasement to Obama and Castro?
I firmly believe the pope is not intending to aid democrats and communists in a direct political way. But it is too easy to believe that the good Pope Francis is just to naive for the world scene.
Who won the fight over anti-Catholic guests at the scheduled White House meeting? We'll see how that whole thing plays out. And why offer the appearance of legitimacy to the murderous tyranny that is Cuba?
Don't hold your breath waiting for world-shaking words of courage from the pope. I will be happily surprised if he has a Brandenburg Gate moment while visiting down where the bananas grow: "Mr. Castro, tear down this police state!"
