| Erin Burnett of CNN challenges timing of Papal Conclave. (CNN TV Screenshot by Dick Bergeron.) |
Burnett expressed concern about what she considers to be
a delay in the beginning of the Conclave to elect a successor to Pope Benedict
XVI who recently resigned. She wants to
be given a date specific – golly gee!
Ms. Burnett is a person who knows little or nothing about
the Roman Catholic Papacy and the process of Papal succession. Yet she demonstrated unabashed immaturity and
a shortsighted willingness to put on display her bias and ignorance before an
international TV audience.
“What’s the holdup?”
she demanded, wanting to know why there is “no
urgency in any way, shape or form. “Why,”
she continued petulantly [such a delay] “for
one of the most powerful jobs on earth?”
