President Jimmy Carter’s notes from his private meeting with Pope John Paul II, October 6, 1979, front

Although his notes are sketchy, they show that the discussion included particular situations in the Philippines, China, Europe, South Korea, and the Middle East. The White House issued a statement that day stating that during the meeting “the Pope and the President agreed that efforts to advance human rights constitute the compelling idea of our times.”

Peanut Boy is still alive?

[raybbr]

Looking forward to the day when I can say, “Rest in peace, Mr. Carter”.

[ClearCase_guy]

One of these days, Carter is going to have a long talk with God. And I think Jimmy is going to try to win that argument.

But he won't.

[dfwgator]

Jimmy’s just upset that Pope John Paul helped to bring down Communism.

[Farmer Dean]

It’s easy for Carter to claim to recall some exchange with a Pope who has since passed.Carter is such an incredible POS,wish that rabbit would have gotten him.Would have saved us all a lot of trouble.

[Signalman]

The former president said that he complained to the Pontiff about the Church’s “perpetuation of the subservience of women”

I wonder if Carter has any problem with how Muslim women are treated.

I certainly hope they put a flashlight in Mr Carters coffin. He’s going to need it to find his way around in the dark.

[piytar]

Liberation theology is heresy of the first order.

Hey Peanut Boy, you may not know what “Blessed” means, but the Blessed John Paul II did more to advance human rights and freedom than you can even comprehend. You’re a worm.

[Stepan12]

I knew he was a bum back then. Even though I didn’t even like Ford, I believed Carter was too much of a deceiving phony and cast my vote for Pres. Ford (I was too young to vote for Ronald Reagan in the primaries).

[Mr Rogers]

The Baptist in me is appalled by this morally challenged ex-President. I’m also sorry that the NIV has sunk so low that they are putting out a Jimmy Carter study bible, presumably with notes on how to kiss the butts of dictators world wide...or to encourage other posterior activities.

[Servant of the Cross]

Yes. The idiot peanut farmer did not understand your courageous words ... Be Not Afraid ... but I did. And they tore down that wall, didn't they?

[Westbrook]

We need the photo of the rabid rabbit.

[AliVeritas]

He didn’t have a problem with his wife being subservient or the ‘fundamentalism of Hamas and Hezbollah.

IIRC, When I was in the South, a fundamentalist was a good thing for bible believing Christians.

It figures that Carter thinks a Mooze Lame mass murderer who married a ten year old girl when he was twenty eight is a lot like Pope John Paul II.

He also thought the people who fled to Canada to avoid the draft were a lot like those who answered the call and served in Vietnam.

[RobbyS]

Like many of us old men, Carter is probably getting inventive in his old age. He is confusing what he wishes he had said and done with what he actually did. And when he knows that he cannot be contradicted, he just says whatever.

[Servant of the Cross]

Carter made his remarks as he introduced a new edition of the Bible with his own study notes, helping readers to follow his understanding of the Scriptures.

Stunning. Just imagine the sheer arrogance of someone doing such a thing. A completely self-absorbed narcissist.

* a new edition of the Bible
* with his own study notes
* to follow his understanding of the Scriptures

O God, deliver us from liberal socialist democrats.

[SuziQ]

LOL! I'm sure it was all the Pope could do to keep from laughing in Jimmah's face.

Actually, no, the Pope probably just prayed for him, because that message wasn't anything new. I'm sure the Pope had already heard all that from some alleged Catholic leaders, who likely had hung the same 'fundamentalist' tag on him.
