Will the Pope issue a countermanding Fatwa to overrule Robertson?

[Jacobin]

I mean, we have on Radical Fundamentalist American Cleric issuing a Fatwa to kill Chavez. Boosh is a Fundie and maybe Gawd will tell him to listen to Robertson.

I mean, if we are gonna have a good functioning theocracy here, shouldn't Radzinger weigh in on this and either clarify it to allow Boosh to knock off Chavez or issue a countermanding fatwa to leave him alone?

I mean, I don't mind living in a good theocracy, but these guys need to get their administrative matters straight!!!

1. Popes issue bulls, not fatwas n/t

[Jacobin]

6. Hmm, a bull

Okay, then, do you think he'll issue a countermanding 'bull'?

2. Since Pat isn't a Catholic ....

I'll stick my neck out and say No.

3. Benedict XVI is really pretty much in line with Robertson.

On a lot of social issues.

Short answer: don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

7. This is not a social issue.

It's murder. Are you sure the Pope agrees with Pat? What's your source?

The Christian Reconstructionists (of which Pat is an example) are mostly rooted in a weird offshoot of Protestantism that HATES Catholicism. Alliances have been made on abortion & gay rights, but they won't last.

Edited to add: The Church & Pat's pals don't agree on social justice, capital punishment & illegal wars.

4. Where Is The Link To The Story

I heard something about it on NPR, but didn't catch all of it.

I want to find a link to nonminate Robertson for Top 10 Conservative Idiot.

5. Catholics don't count. They are heretics, or something like that.

I'm surprised Robertson hasn't issued a Fatwa against the Pope.
