Did you have something to add to this discussion? Or do you prefer the role of the sniper? What's on your mind? Pasting my home page doesn't embarrass me. I wrote it, I stand by it. Using my words in a manner to try to intimidate me, simply makes you look foolish.

How does a politically non-religious stance apply to a religious question concerning the bureaucracy of the Vatican?

I had a question about Catholicism, did this question offend you? The intent was to ask a serious question. No one else appears to have been offended by my question. Would you prefer I get my facts about Catholicism from a non-Catholic source?

I was pleased to get 2 serious and polite questions to what I thought was a simple question. Now I understand the role of the Pope better. The Pope acts as a 'President' of the Church, leading as he sees fit - for the benefit of the church. As such, he must manage (as best as he can) various Bishops, Cardinals and others, from various sects; each with varied interests. Thus, questions, disputes and arguments will be normal for this position.

Your home page says all I need to know.

No reply is necessary.
