In as much as caring what one's actions do to impact the lives of others is un-American, sure. If that's un-American to you, maybe we should reevaluate what it means to be American.
I think he is a true Christian. I think he's great and I'm not even catholic. Lol
Not in the Least. He appears to be Preaching the Same Values that Jesus Christ Himself Preached. I have nothing but love and respect for the Holy See. I can see where the US College of Cardinals though are feeling some heat from how far they have strayed from the values of the Church. Focusing on Abortion while Ignoring the Church's teachings on Social Justice.

I find it interesting that certain members in this thread don't like when proof of something is posted. They down vote articles and posts in the thread then block you so you can't respond.
