You haven’t spent much time over at the Religion Forum have you? There are CONSTANTLY articles posted about what is coming out of the Vatican. Are you saying that you want Catholics to post articles that you conceive to be “negative coming out of Rome”? Did you think that perhaps we don’t see it as negative? We actually read what comes from the Vatican (Rome is a city) and not what the MSM writes about it. So instead of posting all the “negative” things, we spend our time saying, “Have you gone to the source and actually read it or do you believe Anti-Christian Reuters about this?” I swear, if quotes from the Pope were given the same scrutiny as those from GWB or Ronald Reagan, we would have time to actually discuss with you. But the Pope can say “It’s a nice day”, AP writes Pope says “Pope says protestants are damned to hell.” and FReepers take it as gospel. Now if you want to say that it’s my way of “bitterly complaining about all the anti-Catholic bigotry, lies, and etc., etc.” I’m going to tell you that when we complained about the lies and distortions of the words of GWB, the mainstream media said the same. But hey, if you want to dislike the Vatican more than the Mainstream Media’s distortions and blame it on the Catholics, that is your right

I occasionally post on the 'religious' Forum when it is open.

Why would you think your church would be treated differently than Christ? He never sinned and all manner of lies were said of Him and they crucified HIM. Have you never read Job and who it was that God turned loose on him? And after 30 plus chapters of yak yak philosophizing about what Job had done wrong, God told Job to stand up and act like a man.

What I cannot quite figure out is the politics of Rome. What I have personally encountered is there is a multitude of varying degrees of right and wrong. Oh and a guilt factor that weighs down like cement blocks.

Now on any given day how many that work the MSM are Catholics? See now if the claim is that Vatican is where God speaks I have to wonder how many voices does God have because on any given day I can view a Teddy Kennedy grand finale or some priest praising universal health care, without the abortion funding. Or some priest providing sanctuary to illegals while sending me via government the bill for their healthcare and education funding.

OH and just to be clear here Catholics are not the only religion practicing this so called 'compassionate' acts of fighting over souls to save while sending me and mine the bills.

The Ten Commandments are very much still in effect and God had Moses put into writing what would happen IF His children turned their individual or collective backs on Him. And we as citizens of the most blessed nation in all of recorded history, are in this fight against the dissolution of maintaining and practicing in keeping those Commandments. And the popular theme these days is taking the rewards of individual profits and giving in the name of charity to those who won't lift a finger to take care of themselves.

You just gave an entire post that had nothing to do with what I responded to.

These were your words

>>There is never a thread posted here that has anything appearing negative coming out of Rome but the posters believe it is their ‘work’ to bitterly complain about all the anti-Catholic bigotry, lies, and etc., etc.<<

See the words “Thread posted here... That means that what you were talking about is Catholic FReepers. Therefore the response given was about Catholic FReepers and how they “bitterly complain about all the anti-Catholic bigotry, lies, and etc., etc.”

You then went off on a five paragraph post about the MSM and how you personally don't like what the Vatican (not Rome, that is a city or a game show host) does.

Wonder why there is no dialog with Catholics? Why we can't even let out a breath of dissatisfaction on FR? Because when we do, we get rants like yours.
