¿Ustedes realmente creen que el nuevo Papa habla claro? Aún recuerdo su misa de campaña, perdón, de pre-conclave, en la que acusó al mundo de convertirse en "dictadura" contra la iglesia católica (católola me dijo un amigo hace poco, pero aunque me encanta por el afán del espíritu de concordia me quedaré con el nombre oficial...). Ratzinger - y sus fans - deberían pensarlo dos veces antes de confundir con el uso vago que hacen de la palabra "dictadura". Matt Welch pensó lo mismo que yo, y lo mejor es que él lo escribió en Reason, esa gran revista que hace rabiar a la izquierda y la derecha americanas por igual.
"When then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger fired his pre-conclavian shot across the bow of the "dictatorship of relativism," I held out at least some small hope that the same people who praised his predecessor for looking communism in the eye and calling "good and evil by name"would hesitate at least one second before signing on to a bogus equivalence between "dictatorship" and the decidedly anti-dictatorial concepts of (in Ratzinger's words) "liberalism, even... libertinism." So much for that.... In the end, the only thing truly worrisome about the Pope's past is precisely the sentence that got the conservative hyperbolists in such a lather in the first place. If there is anyone who should appreciate the vast differences between the amoral excesses of democratic secularism and the brutality of actual "dictatorship," it's the man who saw Hitler's handiwork up close. If the shepherd can't get such a basic truth straight, it's no wonder the flock sounds so ridiculous."
