It's gotta be,
It's a prophecy!

Pedophilia among priests is extremely rare, affecting only 0.3% of the entire population of clergy. This figure, cited in the book Pedophiles and Priests by non-Catholic scholar, Philip Jenkins, is from the most comprehensive study to date, which found that only one out of 2,252 priests considered over a thirty-year period was afflicted with pedophilia.
On the other hand, the number of K-12 public and private school students in 1996 who have been or will be sexually abused by a member of the school staff is nearly 7 million of 51,331,000. That’s about 13.5% - so why isn’t there any uproar about that? Why are you looking the other way and protecting all of those pedophiles in the classrooms of our children?
Need a laugh track to detect a joke? Sigh!
It was especially that background behind the cross (jagged color blocks) that struck me as 20th C stuff clashing with the Mary portrait.
Back in elementary school, in the late 60s, we had a common drawing project where we made black loops and curves on the page and filled in the resulting spaces with colors, so as to look psychedelic. The curvy color blocks where the angels are, and the jagged ones behind the altar, remind me of that.
I’m just really over the 60’s. But don’t mind me. Obviously I have a bee in my bonnet over something much less momentous than the Pope’s news, and not worth bothering about in the long run.
If your comment was a joke then I apologize.........
"Dam! I really was hoping the end of the world as we know it wasn’t coming this year..."
No problem, I simply (and I guess, wrongly) assumed that “Michael Rivero” by itself is a punch line for everyone as it is for me!
Thank you for the information. Seeing as he was born in Bavaria I was thinking the “Glory of the Hops” or some such might be more appropriate.
However, I seem to recall that exactly 132 days after his ninth birthday his neighbor planted an olive tree, so that would seem to fit the prophecy!
What’s wrong with being a convert! The twelve Apostles as well as St. Paul were ALL converts.

The pope did not let him walk. One of my best friends did a major investigation into the case, spoke to the prosecutor at length, knows the records, etc. He never found anything to suggest the Pope Benedict did anything wrong. You’re operating from a place of ignorance on this matter. I’m not.
The homos have been infiltrating all institutions of authority over the past half-century.
A vodka martini gets you the “slavic” angle.
My husband used to be Catholic. He went to Catholic grade school, but, to the horror of his priest, attended the nearby Lutheran college where I met him. Now my husband is Lutheran. It fits better with his beliefs.Well, now at least you know why your husband's priest was horrified. Sure enough, he left the flock. I was a Lutheran for 33 years, and have been a daily-Mass-variety Catholic since 1984. I pray all Catholics Come Home... http://www.catholicscomehome.org/

Read the section regarding the antiChrist.
The Pope canonized her May 10, 2012.
The Bible warns leaders who lead astray..wonder how he is going to explain to Jesus why he covered up child rape.
Nothing classy about raping children.
1. Because priests are supposed to have higher standards and more importantly -
2. Because the church covered it up and assisted the pedophiles rather than the victims!
Tsgt: hey everyone rapes children!” — ok,if you want to believe that, it’s your problem
I don’t believe that
...cronos... I do believe the poor little bugger was attempting sarcasm...
A signal from above? Lightning hits St Peter’s hours after Pope Benedict stuns cardinals with first resignation in 600 years
