What disturbs me is that the Pope wouldn't comment on the issue of homosexual priests but won't shut-up about Iraq. I guess this 'no moral grounds' posturing is one way to divert attention from the mess on your front porch.

The Catholic church sat on it's hands while Hitler killed 6 million Jews as well.

The idea that the Pope could believe it is moral to leave a madman who murdered his way into power, who cuts out people's tongues for opposing him, rapes women in front of their families, killed members of his own family, has gassed an entire towns, pays families of suicide bombers, and threatens the world with WMDs.....the idea that the Pope could call the righteous and noble cause of removing him from power "immoral"...is a disgrace to the church.

I disagree that this Pope hears the voice of God at all on this issue...and it won't be the first time the church has defended and appeased evil in world.

No war is justified to his way of thinking...he probably felt the same way about his own country back in '39 when the Nazis came marching in to Warsaw!

Do you actually know anything about the Pope, or do you enjoy just throwing out random, erroneous statements?

I am sick to death of the pope and think he should just shut his yap.

I was thinking the same thing when I stumbled upon your post.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..............anyone got the usual cut n paste of articles and quotes from prominent Jews about the Pope and WW2? It's getting tiresome trying to deprogram the local Klansmen on FR.

On a CNN poll I would have someone vote from 2 separate computers to see if the no votes are actually tallied... I do recall that CNN has some dark history of its own with regard to online polling.
