This pope is scum, raised on Marxist ideology as a revolutionary. One has to wonder why the former (still living) pope left the Vatican by helicopter in the middle of the night and was never heard from again. Does this have to do with pedophilia or ideology?
If he's so concerned about the poor, why does he jet set with fellow Marxists? Why is he pushing socialism? Why does the church seem more interested in raising money than saving souls? |
can we say the US revolutionary fathers were revolutionaries too?
was it a black helicopter by any chance?
when was the church not more interested in raising money, do you ever listen to those bible belt radio and TV evangelists?

Pope coming soon....
are you right wingers avoiding where lightning could strike you right now.
I bet you politically rabid right wingers are pissing your pants more frequently than usual because of his arrival. boo bet that made you pee your pants again. As we know you are the card carrying members of the scare the world as the boggy man is coming political side.
Well do you right wingers think he is going to blast the right wingers in Congress as he arrives for his talk to them, or will the hypocrite congress religious right wingers just be going to hell where they came from? Will this be spun by fox before and after? It use to be the right wingers loved a Papal visit and the propaganda it gave them...
Do you think he will take the time to hammer the Donald? Or will the Donald be proactive and slam the Pope?
Note, right after his sermon to Congress he goes to work at a soup kitchen for the poor and mentally ill not mingling with the hypocrite religious right for some private discussion. Isn't that a statement in itself....
This Pope is spectacular... May his visions be answered on so many subjects of importance...

I've never heard the term, "legalism" before, so I looked it up. My eyes glazed over long before I got a good understanding of it, so I'll just say this: I have a big problem with any church that puts itself above our legal and moral earthly obligations. To me, a pope is a guy occupying a position in a big organization that does a lot of good and a lot of bad, until he dies and the next guy fills the vacancy. He has no business publicly issuing policy recommendations about secular topics he knows very little about (e.g., AGWA), because millions of myrmidons follow his every sneeze as though it came from God (note the capital "G"). His words carry way too much weight for him to think the concept of freedom of speech applies to him.
Do I sound critical of the RC? Good; I'd hate to seem vague. I've felt disdain for 60 years for a church whose primary doctrine has been, without embarrassment, "Our followers can can do anything they want as long as they express regret and mindlessly spout a few Hail Marys" as though reading a teleprompter.
Surely they jest.
Yet this particular pope said just that just last week, as long as those Hail Marys sound sincere. Yeah, like THAT'll make that bleeding, batterd rape victim just fine with her experience. Hey ... at least in THAT church her Dad won't stone her to death for it.
I have much more respect for religions that expect us to behave 24/7 rather than just raise hell all week and apologize -- or at least sit still, shut up, and mute our cell phones -- for two hours on Sundays and maybe while sitting in a phone booth once every few years. |

Your grasp of the doctrines of the Catholic Church are equaled only by Berkeley's grasp of the oil and gas industry. |

| "Legalism" is not about the church and the judicial system - Just wanted to clear that up. |

| I have to commend you mrgybe, for not giving a pass to isobars. At least when it comes to the Roman Catholic Church, it's good to know that you differ enough to actually put him down. |

I'm sure it is, but I'm just repeating what the present pope said just last week. I have no interest in studying that church in greater detail.

Ya lost me.
Besides, when I Googled legalism, most of the hits involved blind obedience to church doctrine. |

"I'm sure it is, but I'm just repeating what the present pope said just last week."
Of course, there's no link that supports that. Typical isobars. |
