I too am bothered by antiJesus theology.  When I was living in Cincinnati, a
group of conservative Catholic churches had a TV show where they constantly
blasted the present Pope and the pope of Vatican II as liberal and in danger
of outright apostasy.  I dare to wonder what they are saying about this last
antiJesus bull.

Are there any Catholics out there listening who could enlighten me.  I
gather the approach is steeped in Postmodern reader response criticism, but
that is just a guess.
