Class, discuss.
But..... I thought he was a lefty, that’s what I keep hearing. /s
Yep. Frank was getting some real bad press, so he backtracks to safer ground.
This pope defends those who assassinate and behead those who disagree with them. While I disagree with gay marriage, who would listen to another word this pope says about anything?
Your thoughts?
On what planet?
That is a lie.
"Who would listen to another word this 'bramps' says about anything?'"
You disagree with gay marriage, but what about the fundamentals of birth control? Or divorce? When biblical principals make your life more difficult, do you just ignore them and make up your own rules ie: your own church that reinforces your false biblical beliefs?
Remember, Christ made the Catholic Church.
If the Muslim world does not behead The Pope the gays will crucify him.
RE: Your thoughts?
Well, he isn’t saying anything that previous Popes haven’t said.
Martyrdom has a long and honorable legacy in this Church.
Your thoughts?
BTTT!
Marriage was instituted for the societal need to manage reproduction: reproductive tendencies need be encouraged to occur within a context of direct active responsibility for any subsequent offspring (intended or not).
This institution does not apply where reproduction is an utter nonsensical impossibility; attempts to make it apply are likewise nonsensical.
Contradicts everything that the MSM has provided as 'analysis' on Pope Francis.
I never criticize gay “marriage”. That would be as pointless as criticizing unicorns. They’re both completely fictional, but if pretending they’re real keep people out of my way, i don’t mind. I will criticize those who want government to join in the game of make believe.
His "bad press" has been just that: misinterpretation of his remarks, taken out of context. Check out EWTN television, radio, internet for verbatim remarks. Check their libraries and the Vatican website. Hear both sides, then make your own decision. At least you will be giving the man a fair chance!
God bless you!
He is not defending the assassinations, nor the beheadings. What he is saying is that religion should be respected; the media, while having the right to freedom of speech, has the responsibility to handle it with respect, not derision.
The fact is, Muslim terrorists will defend what they believe with violence. We all knew that prior to this episode. Hebdo and his people knew they were dealing in a crass, obscene, disgusting way with people's religions, Christianity included. We as Christians are called NOT TO resort to violence; not so with Muslim extremists, who consider it a privilege to destroy anything that is opposed to their philosophy.
Hebdo knew what he was doing; 12 people suffered the consequences. Sadly enough, instead of mourning that his irresponsible journalism toward a volatile religious extremist group resulted in 12 people's deaths, he went on, while people stood in line to buy it, yet another paper with the same derision. He must have made a tidy profit off of this...
Sad, but true. Go to EWTN news, radio, internet, mobile: watch/hear verbatim, often live! Listen to his Wednesday audiences; go to the Vatican website. Check things out for yourself, compare with MSM then draw your own conclusions!
God bless you!
