6. EVERYBODY in the world "cherry picks."

It's pretty much common human behavior. In fact, you're doing it right now.

That is, you're attempting to point out the well-known negative aspects of the Catholic Church (and the Pope) while conveniently ignoring the positive event being reported in the OP. It's almost as if no event can be positive in any way without also pointing out the negative parts.

Yes, we know there's always a negative side. It's just that you don't have to point them out. So, why am I reminded of Douglass Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" with regards to the penchant for humans to always point out the obvious?
