I would say, "Headline of the day," but they are coming in at such a dizzying rate, I'd better hedge my bets. Here it is:
• Church stands by pope (DNAIndia.com)
Whew! I, for one, was wondering if such would be the case. That is good news indeed. Stay tuned.
Nice of the Church to do that.

I must confess, I was concerned about that.

Pardon my historical naivete, but if the Pontiff had rebuked the Byzantine fellow, wouldn't Greek Orthodox have been offended because of the 1054 schism?
I know they don't get offended with the same panache as certain other monotheistic religions, but a bit of historical context by the media would be nice. Like explaining how Byzantium got sacked and all.
