When you pointed out the "Fantastic 4", a different mental image came to me. It seemed so bizarre I thought for a minute it might be a photoshop-like these people need to be photoshopped. They do fine all by themselves. LOL.
Appreciate it.

Every time a Western institution is threatened, the divide becomes wider for those who think about it for longer than 2 minutes or do not have another agenda.
President Bush, PM Howard, and PM Blair get it. So does the Pope. How much more will it take for the rest of the West's leadership wakes up?
The Pope says his words, intent were misinterpreted. It seems the misinterpretation is deliberate and that conversation is therefore impossible.
Come on Pope B, let's do the Islamic macaca grovel!!
They are upset the Pope quoted someone saying Islam is a violent religion, and so they are going to blow people up in protest at the slander.
Moslem men seem to think about about little more than sex and death. What a depressing life they have.
It appears that Benedict has prepared himself for martyrdom. I would hate to see that happen. He is the right man at the right time, and we need him now.
In that awful event, I just hope the Vatican will not be destroyed by a weapon of mass destruction.
If you are a Christian, please pray for the safety of my pope.
and guess who they blame for his assassination????...
the Turkish Secret Service, the infamous Masonic lodge P2, and (of course) Opus Dei into his plot line. Inevitably, Mehmet Ali Agca, the Turk who shot Pope John Paul II in 1981, also makes an appearance
I imagine all Christians stand with our Catholic brothers on this matter. God Bless.
Stick around. The show has just begun.

I would like to think many non-Christians as well, would be behind them on this. It is the truth.
Quite so. Good point, thanks.
And, God bless you Brother in Christ.
Should His Holiness be harmed, the world just may see how many uncounted divisions the Pope truly commands.
Onward Christian Soliders Ping.
