It doesn’t pay to quote the Pope to Catholics for several reasons. (1) It was a hoax. If not that then (2) He was mistranslated. (3) You don’t know the context. And my favorite one is (4) He wasn’t speaking ex cathedra. So you see it just doesn’t pay. He can say whatever he wants and it doesn’t matter.

I guess someone ought to start a *Pope's Gaffe of the Day* thread.

It's a continual thing with this guy.

Funny how I've never seen ANYONE as misunderstood as this guy.

Interesting, isn't it, how the whole world is wrong all the time, but him?

I've never seen anybody as abused by the supposedly "friendly" media aas this guy./

Answer me this --- and you're a thoughtful person, metmom, so give it some thought --- why would a journalist translate the Italian word "Demiurgo" as "divine being"?

As in, "God is not a demiurge - God is a not a divine being"?

Hmm?
