Poll: Americans Approve Pope?

In a recent ABC Washington Post poll, 81% of polled Catholics were enthusiastic having Pope BenedictXVI. This is in stark contrast to the media giants giving those disappointed an unusually large amount of airtime. If one listened to them, the Church in America has forsaken its roots, with only a few stragglers clinging to their pasts. Granted, polls aren't an exact science, and the approval could be higher or lower than the numbers suggest, yet this must be a shock to news outlets. After days of stories documenting his "Hitler Youth" (which was required of all who lived in Germany) and position in the "Nazi" (not German) army, which he was drafted into (you try to tell Hitler or the SS you are a consciencious objector), they must be scratching their heads. Pope BenedictXVI, much like his predecessor John Paul II, are not "conservative" in their outlook. They are Catholic in their outlook. It is only our current political climate in America in which such views are conservative. But I suppose such views are too Politically Correct for liberals (after all, PC can only be used to their advantage). Those who wish to "modernize" the Church, I can only ask: Why not join a liberal church which already holds your views, or start your own church, along with the thousands already out there.
