Roman Catholic commentPerhaps a better question would be, "who doesn't have tensions with the Catholic Church?" Jesus told us that we would stand alone against the world, the flesh, and the devil, and that men would hate us. The press, in particular, has been, pardon the expression, crucifying the Catholic Church, the Bishops, and particularly the Holy Father. The Church has always stood as the witness to God in this world, and the world, whose prince, as Jesus tells us, is Satan, is not happy with this witness.
