President Obama Has Found Osama – and God?
United States
“One friend called me to opine that they actually found Osama bin Laden at a Taco Bell in North Carolina and flew him back to Pakistan before… you know”. This Fr John Zuhlsdorf writes on his famous blog and adds: “President Obama seems now to be ready to quote a standard of American patriotism, the Pledge of Allegiance, with its strong invocation of God, when for sometime he couldn’t bring himself to quote the Declaration of Independence correctly with its reference to a Creator who gives us our rights. Color me cynical.”

UK
In an interview Archbishop Vincent Nichols of England and Wales has commented the critique which accompanied the early beatification of Pope John Paul II. He said: “I think beatification is about a person’s holiness. It’s not a reward for being a good Pope. It’s not a prize for good management. It’s an acclamation that this person was close to God and in his life and work showed us some of the attributes of God, God’s creativeness and his abundant mercy and I think that is the only context to really reflect profoundly on the moment of beatification.”

As a consequence the Vatican ordered an Apostolic Visitation in Toowoomba, led by Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver. Last Sunday, Morris informed in a pastoral letter that he had never seen the Report prepared by the apostolic visitor: “Without due process it has been impossible to resolve these matters, denying me natural justice without any possibility of appropriate defense and advocacy on my behalf” – he declared.
