Will Benedict Bring A Beat-Down?

Sounds like all the right people are afraid he will:

If there were any "losers" in the election of Pope Benedict XVI, they certainly will not be found among the faithful, or the Latin American or African Catholic churches. No, the biggest losers are here in the United States, where influential, liberal Catholic priests who have actively and publicly defied the Vatican, along with several Cardinals selected late in the reign of Pope John Paul II, find themselves in a bit of a political pickle.

"Pope Benedict knows better than any one else who the trouble makers are in the United States, and he knows who has worked against the Church's teachings there," says an ordained source at the Vatican. "You will be seeing changes soon."

Hope he cleans out the Augean stables of moral equivalence, politicking, and corruption in the American Catholic Church. Millions of American Catholics deserve better than they've gotten from Law, Mahony, and the other "enlightened" clergy.
