I heartily approve of the investigations looking into the sect's activities -- I think the Church deserves all the scrutiny it gets, but swooping down on the FLDS ranch with SWAT teams and armored personnel carriers and carrying off 533 women and children in buses was not the best plan of action for Texas authorities.
Was this visit merely a meet 'n greet, a chance for the country that wholeheartedly embraced his charismatic predecessor, John Paul II, to get a glimpse of the new Big Man of the Catholic Church?
