You would think I wouldn’t be shocked anymore at the anti-Catholic comments on FR... but I am truly amazed at the mocking of the Spiritual.
When evil is daily tolerated on a forum (the way anti-Catholicism is here), it overtakes it and chokes out the good. FR is a shadow of its former self.
I agree. There are many people who are going to have a BIG surprise someday
It can be truly breathtaking
In this case, just to NOT to imagine that the Pope has an ongoing conversation with God seems kooky.
Do people really think he gets in to the position for the housing, the wardrobe the perceived power?
Don’t they imagine that he is contemplative and meditates on the life of Jesus and what He told us?
They don’t realize that the Holy Spirit can and does send signs to those who choose to be receptive to them and that the Pope asks God to send signs and answers to questions about our doing God’’s will in daily, certainly significant events?
People on FR do tend to take secular news’ views when it comes to the Catholic Church. Definitely the Pope & the Vatican.
I see this headline and I go right to the Nat’l Catholic Register without poisoning my mind with this account
Much as I turn to Mark Levin for a factual account of legislative events, for instance
I’ve had many multi day discussions on this site just in failed effort to request proof of some anti catholic accusation or assertion
I’m not pro or anti. both sides get “high and mighty”. Simple truth in my mind is that if you believe christ died and rose in 3 days and have faith and try to live a life without sin going forward your part of the deal.
I don’t trust any of the “organizations” but believe the church is made of all those who believe the above. The details beyond that are minor in comparison...

Exactly.
How ‘bout something we can all agree on like an anti-Mormonism thread.
Catholics and Protestants hating on each other is so inappropriate. So let’s get to hating on Mormonism and the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Do I need a sarcasm tag?
Taking issue with a Roman pope is not mocking the spiritual in any way, shape, or form. He’s just a man who is no more worthy of reverence than any other man. In fact, based on the claims popes make of themselves they are worthy of nothing but my contempt.
John Calvin said, “A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God’s truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.” Everything a pope says or does as pope is an attack on the Master! I cannot be quiet while Catholics spread their soul-destroying propaganda.
Anyone who understands what is at stake with Rome I suggest the following:

If Obama said he was directed by a higher power to attack Syria, the folks around here would be up in arms.
This guy found himself heading a corrupt organization. He did not have the intestinal fortitude to deal with that. I respect that.
Saying that he was otherwise directed is a cop out.
