The poor old guy is senile! And some malevolent underlings are pushing this stuff in front of him to read {mumble}.

This is the kind of tripe that continues to give truth to the claim that the Vatican is socialist.

With all do respect to his eminence, would he please just STFU.

The more this man speaks, the less I like anything he has to say.

"Special interests and the demands of the market frequently predominate over concern for the common good"

The common good includes removing all of the homosexuals and pedophiles from the ranks of the priesthood. The Pope doesn't seem too interested in doing this and returning the Catholic Church a little credibility. Instead, he (or his controllers) seem intent on changing the subject.

[George W. Bush]

A spiritual monarch favors regulating global governance (socialism). Maybe he should regulate pedophile priests inside his own church before he asks us to listen to such drivel.

With his enemic response to the sexual abuse scandals, his shortsighted and in the final analysis coldhearted support of Saddam's regime, and now this simpleminded anti-capitalist stance with regard to the globalization of markets, the Pope has shown in the last two years that a great figure in history can lose the qualities that made him great and outstay his usefulness on the world stage.

It almost seems that in his dotage, with his mental faculites greatly dulled, the Pope has come under the influence of some of the blacker elements in the Curia.

Global Good...

An anachronism for "Elitist" There is never global good except for a few and guidance from the international community is another misnomer for “bottom-less-pit to nowhere.” a-la United Nations. The Pope has been misled - again.

Sounds as if the Pope got hold of the Hildebeast's college thesis.

Mustang sends from "Malpaso" News.

bump for later

What, is the RCC now an arm of the UN? What, exactly, does globalization have to do with religion? Does JPII ever mention that (religion) anymore?

[Nick Danger]

Anything that can regulate Globalization is by definition extra-terrestrial. Let's hope the Pope was referring to God, and not, you know, them.

[Victorious]

"And I beheld another Beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. And he exercises all the power of the first Beast before him and causes the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast ( world government), whose deadly wound was healed. The Pope/Vatican seems to be fulfilling this prophecy in Revelation 13.
If he is indeed the False Prophet--leader of apostate Christianity, we will see him making more statements like this. He will push for recognition, obedience to, and worship of the U.N. or whatever new name they come up with for World Government which fulfills the prophecy of the first Beast in this same chapter.

Me thinks the Pope has been out of it for some time now and the left wingers at the Vatican are putting this stuff out in his name

[AlbionGirl]

I will never officially leave the Catholic Church because all denominations have their 'problems', and there's no place else I'd rather be. But the Church heirarchy is dead to me now, both excathedra and otherwise.

So much that was mandated before under penalty of sin is now defunct. So my question to 'them' is were you fallible then or are you fallible now? Either way, I don't have the time or inclination to sort out their excathedra mishaps. I'll leave that to the Cardinals and such to do.

But I will not seek nor heed their counsel. They are not capable of leading their flock, no ifs ands or buts about it!

In the meantime I will seek my way through Christ, I don't need a third party administrator.
