Is the Pope Catholic?

Boy, I’ll say!
Look at his magnificent vestments, and how often in the past decades have we seen Cardinal deacons in dalmatics?
This Palm Sunday, the Holy Father appealed for peace in Iraq, saying;
“Enough with the slaughters. Enough with the violence. Enough with the hatred in Iraq!” Benedict said to applause at the end of his Palm Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square.
Pope Benedict, speaking of the murder of Archbishop Rahho, praised his dedication to the Catholic Church and said the archbishop’s death compelled the pope to “raise a strong and sorrowful cry” to denounce the violence in Iraq spawned by the war that began five years ago this week.
“At the same time, I make an appeal to the Iraqi people, who for the past five years have borne the consequences of a war that provoked the breakup of their civil and social life,” Benedict said. - myway

I love the mystery of Palm Sunday…
I’ve decided I will remain in my parish for Holy Week and Easter, and not go to other churches that may have more traditional liturgies. I think it is important (for me) to worship within the community I live in.
