"Quite frankly, this man is dangerous."

What I wonder is, how can someone who (supposedly) knows the Bible inside out fall for delusions like the U.N.?

Jesus flatly stated there will ALWAYS be wars and rumors of wars. He flatly stated that the poor will ALWAYS be with us. Not that you wash your hands of the problem of war or poverty, but a Biblical world view includes the realization that men "will wax worse and worse" as we approach the End. There's no "happy ending" for this world. It's on death row, and we do the best we can until the Judgement.

Also, how can a thorough-going Catholic not be in touch with one of their oldest doctrines, that of The Fall of man? Genesis, for a believer, explains the whole story of why we're in this sorry mess. We rebelled against God "in Adam", we're all guilty by proxy. There is no quicky cure for this curse! God took His time before revealing His Son Jesus (who truly is the Cure). He allows much misery to occur in this world...maybe because of the Fall? The consequences of that act resonate through history.

I wonder if there aren't cynical manipulators behind the scenes using the aged John Paul as a puppet. I hope he doesn't truly believe in a godless version of "peace".

Go to Blockbuster today! Rent some Walt Disney films stat! Then you will see there are always happy endings!

"Old Yeller" was an anomally!

I think many of us know the disturbing answer to your question...

The Pope simply is NOT the "leader" of the Christendom.

I think the Pope knows scripture pretty well--

But while recognizing that there will "always be" poverty, wars, etc., he cannot simply resign himself and the Church to accepting, apathetically, the status quo.

That would be gross dereliction of duty.
