If he wants faith go to Mass. IF he had preached all non-Catholics and even some Catholics would be screaming! How DARE the Pope preach to us. We are not Catholics. Think about it!

America needed to hear something ...
Yeah, and we needed to hear it in English. Saying the DC Mass in a foreign language was a slap in the face to all Americans, not just Catholics.

BINGO!

I have intentionally ignored this dopey Popes visit as it would only further my belief that he is an anti-pope and should be run out of the Vatican on a rail.

I believe something sinister is afoot and I wonder what is going on with Pope Benedict.

Well, he is assuming the Pope is a Christian.

If there was a chance he was going to do that, obama would not have let him come.

Priests have been good to me in my life since my old man died when i was 15. they were good guys. We did lose three of them but at least it was to women of legal age :)

My father warned me when i was about 8, i think, that if a priest ever touches me funny to let him know. That was 1976 and my father was 55 at the time.

How hard must it be to give up the joy of women and possibly family for an entity that you can’t smell, see, touch or hear, except in your heart.

I believe. But it’s not easy.

Having to believe strong enough to make everyone else believe must be really hard

Fantastic. Simply fantastic commentary. Spot on. I mean you nailed it. Read the book of Acts. The Apostle Paul was dragged before tribunals and kangaroo courts where gave a defense of himself via his personal salvation testimony. In every single account before public forms and trials he always preached salvation through Christ. The Pope? Mumbled something about Globull Warming.

Wow.

The Pope wasn't speaking to American Christians, he was speaking to the Cult of Obama, and he told them what they wanted to hear.

Pope speech in its entirety:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3340745/posts

I did a word search there is no mention of “Christ” or “Jesus”. Note that a search would also find “Christian”, “Christmas”, etc. There were nine instances of the word “God”.
