Vatican: Dissident Catholics More Worrying than Atheists

VATICAN CITY, December 11, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The new man in the position of Secretary of State in the Vatican, a position second only to that of the Pope himself, has said that dissident Catholics are more worrisome than atheists. Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone's comments were published in the December 7 edition of L'Avvenire, the official newspaper of the Italian bishops' conference.
. . .
In April of this year the Pope signalled the loving way of dealing with dissidents in the Church - "drastic severity."...

It's certainly encouraging to hear that the Vatican is aware of the tremendous problems of dissent. Dissent is poison, usually disguised, and needs to be addressed quickly lest more of faithful succumb to its deadly effects.
