The center-left of the church want to continue on with the reforms of Pope John XXIII. Conservatives believe that he help ruin the church. With 4 members leaving to one being converted, the Right believes that pushing the Liberals out will create a new church in the likeness of the time before the radical pope.

At this point in time, it would appear that the Right is winning and that a new traditional church is emerging. It may take decades to get the church back to its former position.

OBAMA'S BAD COP

In diplomacy, there is sometimes a good cop/ bad cop strategy.  In one summit, Obama and his election opponent and first fighter, Hillary Clinton know how to work a room.

One starts at one end of a group and the other at the other end. They know how to work the ropes.

Together, they first catch hell from Hillary and then

Barack charms them into submission.
