I always thought that the Pope was in charge of the Catholic Church yet lookking at what is happening with the Church I wonder. Is it the Cardinals who secretely control and run things. The Church has always had a political adgenda. There is no denying this. Behind the scenes for centuries there has been a cardinal who with threats of excomunication to world leaders have shaped and forced policy.

Now the Church is being threatened from within its own ranks. Is the Pope really just a figurehead and has no power other then raise money and lead prayer? Link to Michelle Malkin for the full story [ http://michellemalkin.com/]

BELGIAN CHURCHES ISLAMIFIED
By Michelle Malkin · May 07, 2006 04:41 PM

This story is really scary as to what these folks are doing inside the church. I see it as a desecration to a religion by members of another religion. But this has the blessings of the Belgion Bishops. The church of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, Brussels is being turned into a Muslim center for Islam. Having tents set up inside the church and starting fires inside.

The Bishops have even gone as far as to move and cover up religious items so that it does not offend the Muslims. What does the Pope think about this? Is he the leader or not. Does the phrase turn the other cheek mean to kowtow and stop believing in ones own religion?

For pictures and alittle more insight go to The Brussels Journel

the artical : Allah Takes Over Church

Again this is just one instance of the Catholic Church being taken over by political extremists. Here in the United States we have to deal with in California, Cardinal Roger Mahony. A man who thinks the law does not apply to him, ILEGALS, or to the pediphiles under his protection in the Church.

SO who actually runs the Church anyway?
