They're going to have a tough time calling for another Crusade when Al Q blows the Vatican half to hell. Doesn't sound like Ratzinger, though, I'm surprised.
Is this despicable crap a f**king JOKE? If so, all I want to know is what will be the name of the mosque that will be built upon the ruins of the Vatican. And good riddance to them.
“... This promise was nullified by Christ. There is no longer a chosen people - all men and women of all countries have become the chosen people.”
WHAT?
Mathew 5:17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
An interesting family: the child nullifies father's promises... Very interesting.
You are right. But, your remarks made me recall, there were no crusades when Goths sacked Rome. Nor were any when Saracens took over Constantinople. In fact, wasn't is Crusaders who once sacked Constantinople themselves.
Peoples, nations and, apparently, religions as well have a tendency to commit suicide.
OK, folks, in this instance, it’s like when your kid says something he cooked up himself, and then passes it off as something that “dad said”. No, dad did not say any such thing.
As a Protestant, I am sickened to see so many criticizing the Pope without first checking all the facts in the case. Don’t jump to conclusions so fast...
I will be with ya, though, if the Pope were to repeat such questionable statements as have been made by others in this instance. He isn’t going to confirm the misguided opinions, though, IMHO. How could he? Doing so would undermine faith as based on the Bible and Church Tradition, too.
It is also the location of the Basilica of St Peter, and the residence of the the Catholic Pope, the successor of Peter.
The synod refered to has no connectin whatsoever to the Catholic Church --- or the Pope.
Writing the headline to make it appear otherwise is either total ignorance or incompetence.
