Vatican Getting Tougher

Music to my ears:

“Enough now with this turning the other cheek! It's our duty to protect ourselves.” Thus spoke Monsignor Velasio De Paolis, secretary of the Vatican's supreme court, referring to Muslims. Explaining his apparent rejection of Jesus' admonition to his followers to “turn the other cheek,” De Paolis noted that “The West has had relations with the Arab countries for half a century”¦and has not been able to get the slightest concession on human rights.”
