"I am constantly amazed by the fascination displayed by atheists for something they proclaim they don't believe in."
My friend, why should I not be interested in an organization that has influenced history more than any other. Of course I'm interested in the Roman Catholic Church, specifically, and in Christianity in general.
Why are you amazed? I'm a history buff, with a specialized interest in the role that religion plays in history.
MineralMan is the only thoughtful, reasonable atheist I have ever met.
***I'm betting they're going to say it's a miracle. The RCC desperately wants to canonize John Paul II. Myself, I'm not big on miracles.***
<<<For someone who is neither Catholic nor a believer in miracles, nor a believer in God, you sure jumped on this thread in a hurry.

Antoninus, thank you for so eloquently saying what I thought about MineralMan's post.
