  4. But when it is they who find themselves at odds with the pope, it seems that criticism is not only permitted, but required. Neumayr quotes the great Thomas Aquinas, from “his commentary on the right of subjects to resist flaky superiors”

    You must have received your understanding of the Pope's statements from the NY Times and the liberal Media - NO - the Holy Father DID NOT approve of gays - etc.... this is what you would like to believe - GET A LIFE!
