Unlike the NYPress which jokes about the Pope's health (see Drudge: I refuse to link to them), the Manila Bulletin has this article:
"What should the Pope’s suffering tell us? Several things, said Mr. Novak. He is telling us it is important in an age like ours to honor the suffering of the old and the infirm. He wants us to know they have a place in life and a purpose. He not only says this; he lives it. He was an actor as a youth; he teaches by doing and showing, by being. His suffering is a drama he is living out quite deliberately. John Paul stands for life, for all of life. He wants to honor what the world does not honor....Many of us may be spared by the mercy of God the excruciating pains that the Pope and others suffering from similar illnesses have to offer up. But all of us can carry the Cross of Christ through voluntary mortifications or acts of self-denial, completely indispensable to the imitation of Christ.
Can you imagine the NYTimes telling us that Christians believe in the cross of Christ?
And here is another Editorial...
