13. You have to be Catholic to become Pope.

Answer: While this has been true in the past, the Fourth Secret of Fatima speaks of a Fisherman Pope who comes to Rome with a wife and kids.

An absolutely EXCELLENT article!! Thank you for posting it. Deal Hudson truly knows how to open minds and hearts to reality. Bookmarked forever.

the Church continues to care for the arts so they will not be forgotten over time

This pope has canonized more saints than any pope before him. I have watched many of these canonizations and noticed that oftentimes, the community that supported the particular saint, brings up gifts to the Holy Father. These usually include a magnificent chalice, ornately decorated with symbols from that saints life. My question: What happens to all of these chalices? Where do they go? Are they used? By whom?

Some rather odd choices of myths the author talks about. I wasn't really thinking of getting into apologetics against Hindus, but the author obviously feels it important.

This is when they'll come back with an amendment to the original statement by saying, "As long as you're not hurting others, you're free to do and believe what you like." But this is an arbitrary distinction (as well as another absolute statement).

"Either way, while the proponents of these errors are free to promote them..."

But what about being free to do what you like, as long as you don't harm others? Is that just an arbitrary distinction? Consider: pot smoking is illegal, and adultery isn't. Much more arbitrary than the libertarian principle.
