He’s an 83 year old man. No 83 year old man should be treated that way. Period.

Does him being the Pope open him up to any kind of treatment? Evidently so...

How many millions of people need the Pope’s help? Billions would be the answer.

He can’t help them all, and it’s no excuse to treat him that way, and I think you know it down deep inside.

Were his words intemperate and wrong? Yes, I believe they were.

We have our differences with the man. He’s the worst Pope in my lifetime, to my knowledge. I still think we need to be reasoned about how he reacts to someone whipping him around 180 degrees quickly.

Part of his reaction was understandable, and some of it was unacceptable.

Well, I don’t see how simply respecting people and resisting the urge to make fun of their beliefs amounts to what you so crudely suggest.

As do I.

Take care.

Nothing personal, but that’s how I see it.

Thank you for your gracious response; but I’m not sure what you mean about ‘choices’ and ‘belief’.

As noted before, I’m not a Catholic and not coming from a stance of religious belief; but from a sense of respect toward many good Freepers who DO happen to be Catholic.

A brother of an ancestor was burned at the stake in the time of reformation in Scotland while the cardinal watched from a second floor room in his villa. Other cousins had to flee from Portugal to Germany to avoid a similar fate. Madera is not a German surname normally.

Honestly, I don’t blame him. That beotch almost ripped his arm off.

But he shouldn’t, then, market himself as the ultimate example of “peace.”
