The Web Elves have added more links to their coverage…

I can’t read a word of it, but Avvenire, the newspaper of the Italian bishops’ conference apparently runs several strong articles today. This comment at JihadWatch offers a summary of some of the pieces. Look to the Papa Ratzinger Forum, especially the "News About Benedict" thread for more links to other articles from the European…

CNN has a decent round-up of the past couple of days, but for one point: A transcript of the pope’s remarks obtained by The Associated Press television network reads.. ..like it’s some hugely secret document that only Professional Journalists have the savvy to obtain. Online here since the day he delivered it, bub. But, you…

Link to article in Der Spiegel here. Translated in PRF on this thread: The attacks against the Roman pontifex are especially grotesque. The harsh criticism, which often is accompanied by threats of violence, of Benedict’s speech in Regensburg is not only an attack on the head of the Catholic Church. The malicious misinterpretation of his…

The UK Observer takes a fair look at Benedict and Islam: Benedict, as his friend and associate noted, is sincerely committed to dialogue between Christians and Muslims, but he also believes that the link between terrorist violence and its sponsorship by some Muslim clerics is a big obstacle to further progress.

Fr. DeSouza, like David Warren, writes from Canada: In response to this historical excursus in an academic lecture by one of the world’s most erudite theologians, we are witnessing a wave of madness and malice, no doubt an embarrassment to millions of Muslims. Roman Catholics are likely angry. Relations between adherents of the two religions…

Caption: Pakistani Muslims shout anti-Papal slogans as they march during a protest in Karachi. The Pope voiced deep regret at outraged Muslim reaction to a speech he gave in Germany, but stopped short of retracting his remarks, arguing they had been misinterpreted.(AFP/Asif Hassan) Um….and what’s that burning in front of them? Just wondering.

David Warren: While I don’t mean to pick especially on the BBC, when other mainstream media are often as culpable, they are worth singling out here to show the amount of sheer, murderous evil of which this taxpayer-funded network is capable. As I write, the BBC website has just posted an “interpretive” piece by their…
