Float An Idea

President Obama and the Pope have different ways of putting out an idea that they might like to see enacted.  I think that the Pope's way works better.  When Obama wants change through Congress he says it straight out through the media himself.  No middle person to float the idea.  So if someone does not want any of Obama's ideas to happen, they shut it down in Congress.  The Pope's Congress is the Vatican Cardinals and Synods.  The Pope will say all kinds of things he wants the general world to think about in Encyclicals or in the media.  But if he wants the Cardinals to change something in the church way of doing things, the Pope floats it through Cardinal Walter Kasper.  Read Kasper, "On the Family" and see what the Pope would like the Cardinals to change.  If the Cardinals don't like it, who can blame the pope?  Maybe The Donald could use someone to float his ideas?

  3. Hmmm! Looks like I'll have to add Cardinal Kasper's books to my reading list. This entry has your usual keen insight.

  4. When Obama wants to change something he just does what he likes. He doesn't go thru congress.
