As Catholicism's longtime philosophical enforcer, he holds even more fiercely than did John Paul to the belief that the church as a holy entity is perfect. He is less eager to critique the acts of its followers, especially since he may feel any admission of weakness could undermine his battle against European secularism...
...starkly different responses of some U.S. bishops and the Vatican could just be a matter of pure politics.

"This is a historic day, a watershed event in the long and elusive quest for health-care reform," President Obama declared.
