Benedict XVI vs. Wright

Last night, Pope Benedict XVI left the United States back to the Vatican on what has to be an amazingly successful pilgramige to this great land.
But, I want to focus on three words that Benedict said last week in Washington, D. C. and contrast with another man of God, the "Rev." Jeremiah Wright, former head pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago, Ill, home church of one Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.
Pope Benedict:
God Bless America
The "Rev." Wright:
No, not God Bless America, but God D--- America!
After hearing this several times today on the Laura Ingraham show http://lauraingraham.com,
I was taken aback by the diametrically different views of this nation from two men of God.
Pope Benedict talked about the freedom of religion and how the American experiment has evolved from. The "Rev." Wright still feels like and directs those who follow what he preaches that they are but victims and that their version of God, who is black-centered, will set them free.
Here are just some words that were spoken by Pope Benedict last week when he arrived at the White House to meet with President Bush:
From the dawn of the republic, America's quest for freedom has been guided by the conviction that the principles guiding political and social life are inanimately linked to a moral order based on the dominion of God, the creator.

Contrast that with the "Rev." Wright and the negative message of victimology that permeates not only sermons but the whole mission of the Trinity United Church of Christ http://tucc.org. It does nothing to evolve, just to agitate.
A man, Benedict, who is not an American citizen and has no real stake in the American experiment seems to get it and have a great love for all the people of the United States. He even has such a great faith and belief that he has the right understanding of God to enter a synagogue as he did in New York City to help begin the Passover.
Another man, Jeremiah Wright, is an American citizen who does not get that the American experiment is ever evolving. And, for the "Rev." Wright, it appears that any success has passed him by. It is as if the "Rev." Wright is living in a time warp.
As a non-Roman Catholic, I am very impressed by this pope, who really does seem to be a humble man, trying to do the Lord's work on earth. Pope Benedict, even when confronting the evil of those priests who sullied their own vows and the name of Almighty God, did so with humility and grace.
If only the "Rev." Wright would show the same humility and grace, there would not be so much to contrast these two men of God.
