Attacking me, the Pope, and the Catholic Church does not allow you to jump the queue and move you closer to heaven. In fact just the opposite happens. You may believe that you have acquired a secret decoder ring that permits you and you alone to know the Word of God, but the simple truth is in the simplicity of Christ's message. We are all called to beatitude, not just the Jews, or the Christian-like cults that spring up claiming to be the elect. If we obey His two greatest commandments and live the beatitudes Salvation is ours.
So going forward you would best serve God, Free Republic, and yourself by preceding your lunatic fringe theories of history and Catholic dogma with a simple disclaimer. Now please stop lurking and sniping on every thread that touches Catholicism and the Church and go bother someone else in God's name.

in serious need of Professional Help. I have been discussing the Holy Scriptures you are unable to exegete.
I have been discussing the writings promulgated from the council of Nicea.
You are however correct in that the Pagan practice of celibacy has exploded
in serious charges of child abuse to the highest levels of power in the Roman "church"
