Dave, you are quite frankly the biggest and least intelligent "Sheeple" on this board.

Awwwww, Thank you.

But I don't Tow the Line with the rest of the Sheeple, guess that makes me a Black Sheep.

No, the Catholic Church prefers to teach what is Right. What is right is not a function of time or place, regardless of how much you might like it to be.

Awwwww, how touching seeing all the Sheeple critical of the Religious leader because he doesn't support their liberal views. So 'Open-minded' thou art.

Yeah thats why the left keeps winning elections.. oh wait.. I might agree with you that the world has been moving left, however, I think recently, especially in the United States, its moving back to the right.. Many think we went too far left.

Again, the job of the church is not to validate your liberal views..

Maybe because I don't have PhDs in philosophy and theology like most of the cardinals?

 

[judasmachine]

Who cares anyway. Even if you're Catholic there is still no Pope Police coming to your house for using condoms, eating pork, or whatever it is that Cathaholics do or don't do...

 

[bamacre]

This thread is disgusting. The man hasn't been Pope but for a few hours. Some of you have passed judgement on him as if you were a "redneck," and he were gay. Good grief, give him a chance.

No, they made up their minds to hate anyone who was not pro gay and pro abortion.

Anyway from the article

He joined the Hitler Youth aged 14, shortly after membership was made compulsory in 1941.

He also deserted the German army and became a POW. Maybe he really didn't want to be what the Germans had become? Naa, he's a conservative Catholic and that automatically means he's evil.

Dumb ass people.

Hmmm, teach what is right, like they always did, right?
Let's see:
-the earth is flat
-the earth is the center of the universe
-wonderful things such as the inquisition

need i go on?


it's just another fvcking political party looking out for it's own good. accept it.

 

[Mathlete]

Wow!

I like all of the people(wait sheeple to you Dave) who echo the comments

"Why can't the church change. Why can't it be more liberal so everyone can join."

BECAUSE RELIGION IS NOT FOR EVERYONE.

If religion were easy everyone would do it. The Church was founded on morals and principles. These do not change. They are set. So if you are waiting for the Church to come out and say "Abortion is OK, Go ahead and kill babies" don't hold your breath(except for you Dave, hold yours). If anyone wants to have a serious discussion about Pope Benedict XVI I'ld be happy to discuss with you (catholic or not) but if you are just going to spout the same crap we have come to expect from you. STFU

The world has been focused on the Vatican for several weeks now. The faithful have had their own private mourning of the passing of the Pope, while the church is well attuned to the modern concept of media attention and publicity.

This new Pope may be controversial, but the media buzz and glare of the spotlight is music to the church's ears.

Who has tried to get you not to buy condoms? Has anyone come to your door saying that you can't have sex with your gay transvestite boyfriend?? NO. You are the one who came into this thread ready to insult the first person you could. So fvck off!!!

WTG, Vatican!!



:roll:

Didn't take long for your bigoted anti-christian self to come out..

Oh, look. Another bitter apologist.


All that's left is bozack and we've got the hat trick!

Don't catholics have a right to choose their leaders? Are you going to answer the question or just spew your bigotry? Why does it matter to you as a Non-Catholic? Or a NON PRACTICING Catholic?

Well, I've been baptized, communionzed and the whole bit. Although I don't go to church anymore, I'm more Catholic than probably you are. (Don't know if you're Catholic or not as of yet)

Yeah, lets argue who is more Catholic.. :roll: ok, I will ONE UP you then, I was also MARRIED in the Catholic church, which puts me +1 on the Sacraments list I guess.. since YOU seem to be keeping score..

If you don't believe in the teachings of the Catholic church you are NOT Catholic. If you believe in gay marriage, abortion, sex before marriage, etc.. WHY are you Catholic? Why would you join a church which you disagree with?

To change it for the better?

Then form your own church.. The Catholic Church has chosen its core beliefs, if you don't agree with them look elsewhere. Why must the church change its beliefs because Red Dawn doesn't agree with them?

Red Dawn doesn't care one way or the other about the Catholic Church or any Chgurch, religion or myth, I was just pondering an answer to your question directed at Darkhawk.

Well, your question was stupid.

According to you but you but your opinion doesn't hold much water with me or most others.

Yes. If you are not Catholic and plan on coming in here foaming at the mouth with some crap that you just sucked off some ultra-liberal website and decided to come regurgitate that crap here like the rest of the sheeple, "Piss Off"

Now if you would like to discuss the new Pope like mature adults, I'ld be happy to.

I'm a Black Sheep.

Even though they attempt to drill the Republican and Religious Agenda at me from the Pulpit,
the brainwashing waves just have not been strong enough to get through the Tin Foil apparently lining the inside of my skull.

How bout these?

Do you believe in an all powerful, all knowing, and all good God?
Do you believe there was a historical Jesus who died so humanity could be redeemed?

If not, then I'm sorry, but you're not Catholic
