I'm not Catholic but I don't want any harm to come to the Pope. I haven't noticed the anti-Catholocism that you imply.


You aren't seeing the same threads I see. In the past 6 months, every time someone posted anything about Vatican announcements about the war in Iraq, some idiot ends up posting some comment about why doesnt the Pope forget about the war and clean up his "pedophiles". Like as if he were personally responsible for the sickminded and depraved who would hurt any child. Believe me, the Catholic haters are out there and using FR.

While there is certainly room for debate on the handling of the Catholic Church's problems with the priesthood here in the U.S., I don't think any of those people have advocated anything like this. This smacks of comparing Jerry Falwell to murderous Islamic radicals, and reflects very poorly on those who make those kinds of comparisons. And BTW, I am neither Catholic, nor an adherent of Falwell.

What a disgusting thing to post.. just because there are people who vehemently disagree with Catholics on matters of religion does NOT mean they would want someone murdered.. good heavens..

Those recent threads are tame. There have been some purely religious threads (much of it about the time of the Bob Jones controversy) that have had some amazing things said about the Pope.

" In the past 6 months, every time someone posted anything about Vatican announcements about the war in Iraq, some idiot ends up posting some comment about why doesnt the Pope forget about the war and clean up his 'pedophiles'."

When we finally get a straight answer from Rome, the questions and comments might end.
