I read the article on star Tribune website called Some wonder if recent, highly controversial decisions by Pope Benedict are part of a disturbing pattern. Here is a link.

The aritcle was about a current scandle in the Roman Catholic Church concernig the excommunitcation of several Austrian Bishops. One even said that the Holocaust did not happen. I think that this is very interesting because it puts the Church in a bad position. It remindes me of Dan Browns book Angels and Demons which had a similar theme to this article.
