CNN Clueless as usual

CNN International (which has few Americans as it's anchor) is salivating over the Pope's illness.
They are visiting St. Patricks in NYC reporting that there are a lot of people praying there, then claim most aren't actually praying, they are tourists...(Hint: Lots of locals go there for mass...and many tourists say a prayer).
Most Catholics know this pope is on his last leg, and the PC have been salivating for ten years that he needs to resign or insisting that when he dies the church will improve.
But seeing how the Asian and African bishops are opposing "reforms" in the Anglican church, one suspects that the ultimate result of a new pope will be a schism between the Christian catholics and the modernists.
CNN yesterday was reporting on the pope's new book...two of the four interviewees were ladies, one with wrinkles and long blond tresses suggesting she thought she was still 20, the other an ugly fat lady with a hat...(reminds me of Limbaughs' law of feminism: feminism is a way for ugly women to have power...of course, one could say conservatism is a way for fat druggies to get fame...because all the liberal druggies, unlike Limbaugh, are slim and attractive but never mind)...
So anyway, there are two feminist critics, who said something I didn't quite understand. Then someone from the modernist "catholic" newspaper from the UK (their equivalent of the national catholic reporter, a modernist anti traditional newspaper)....and the laments that the pope opposes gay marriage and abortion (so what else is new).
The impression is that he's old and should go and let a modern reformer in...but as I pointed out in a letter to the London times, the pope is like one's father, not a CEO, and a holy pope who prays and sets the example of holiness in infirmity is more valuable than an efficient CEO, at least if you believe in God.
