HYATTSVILLE, Md. - A nun who was ordered by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger to stop ministering to gays and lesbians called his election as pope "devastating" for those who believe the Catholic Church needs to be more tolerant on social issues such as homosexuality. advertisement Sister Jeannine Gramick said the choice of Ratzinger, who as the Vatican's guardian of doctrine silenced her and Father Robert Nugent in a 1999 order, will likely prevent the church from "moving into the 21st century and out of the Middle Ages."

You're out of line.
Take your chit and get.

The last married Pope was Peter

You mean Peter, the man who Jesus himself made head of his Church?

[dangus]

You do know that Scrappleface's coverage of Kerry's reaction to Pope Benedict was a spoof, no?

"I'm just curious as to why they didn't pick a younger conservative as pope. This guy is only going to be around for a few years and we'll have to do this whole thing over again."

Word is they want to pick older guys from now on to intentionally limit their papal terms. Not sure why though.

Him putting the "smack down" on her had NOTHING to do with her support of pedophiles, but instead because she chose to reach out to homosexuals

Same difference, actually.

(whether you want to believe it or not are just as much Gods children as you are).

Sure they are. But those who practice the sin of unrepentant homosexual acts have said "non serviam" to God. They need the kind of ministry that Courage provides, not Sr. Gramick's feel-good toleration of the intolerable.

LOL - of course not.
I never looked at the source.
LOL- that's one on me!
TOO FUNNY!

[Antoninus]

"You have heard it said 'Do not commit adultery' but I say, everyone who looks at a woman and lusts after her has already committed adultery in his heart".

Exactly. So does that make you an adulterer?

As for me, I go to confession .... often.

[conserv13]

LOL. I guess I should too.

Those who disagree with the selection should consider breaking away and forming their own brand of Religion based on what they believe in.

Right. Those who want married priests, women priests, artificial contraception and approval of sodomy should join the Episcopal Church. They have all those things. Besides, they have better hymns than we Catholics do.

Spell the names in Latin, then see what you get.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.

[Little Ray]

So be silent already, you silly nun!

[utahagen]

Yep! The hits just keep on coming!

"A nun who was ordered by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger to stop ministering to gays and lesbians called his election as pope "devastating" for those who believe the Catholic Church needs to be more tolerant on social issues such as homosexuality." From her lips to God's ear!

[BlueNgold]

That didn't take long.
I'm guessing they had to have her sitting by waiting, story written, fill in a dateline and get a quick quote, voilah ... anti-christian story in 3 secs or less.

But the MSM is not biased...

[NoClones]

maybe the idea of that directive is to prevent any more scandals by discouraging perverted behavior?

[Miss Behave]

LOVE your tag, Ski. :-)

[COBOL2Java]

Call the WAAAAAmbulance already. The whiners are going to line up around the block...

With the MSM waiting anxiously for an interview, like a teenybopper outside a rock concert.

[fortunecookie]

LOL. See my 91. I guess great minds think alike. ;-)

[MaxMax]

As usual the media will go out looking for Anybody that disagrees
with any decision regarding Religion that does not support a Gay agenda.

Not surprised here.
