CNS, (do the coins I toss in the collection basket pay for CNS?,) in one wrap-up of coverage of an reactions to Papapalooza, report the astounding news that Catholics who don't agree with Church teaching noticed that the Pope, despite being a nice guy, did nothing to bring Church teaching into line with their way of thinking.
Astounding...
It makes you wonder why these Catholic theology students are studying with Catholic professors, at a Catholic institution, and from a Catholic perspective.
Oh, wait....
Theology students extol pope's pastoral gifts but say change unlikely
By Chris Herlinger

NEW YORK (CNS) -- Catholic students at one of New York City's most prominent schools of theology said Pope Benedict XVI's visit did not soften some of their concerns about his papacy and the future of the U.S. Catholic Church.
The students at Union Theological Seminary, a nondenominational graduate school of theology with Protestant roots and a home for Catholic academics who have run afoul of the Vatican, praised Pope Benedict's pastoral gifts and his ability to energize the Catholic faithful.
But they also said the visit will not lead to what they feel are much-needed reforms within the church and expressed concern that the U.S. church's current and future needs are not likely to be addressed any time soon.
