The Hermeneutic of American Politics is the Hermeneutic of Silliness

No, John Allen the Holy Father is NOT, "trying to 'reach across the aisle,' to use the American argot, and assure conservatives that he’s not the enemy."

Because,  as Father Ruff is quoted as saying, with uncommon common sense,  Francis is on everyone’s side.

You are fomenting this mindset of conflict, this attitude of schoolyard cliquishness, just as surely as any RadTrad blog when you claim the Holy Father is on the "other side" from ANYONE, Mr. Allen, except those who set themselves in opposition to what the Church teaches.
