If the Pope doesn’t take the religion seriously, then why should I? (You could fill a book with similar stories):

Against faith’s rules, Rudy Giuliani receives communion at Papal Mass
BY DAILY NEWS STAFF

Saturday, April 19, 2008
Rudy Giuliani received Holy Communion during Pope Benedict’s Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral Saturday, a move that upset some of the Catholic faithful.

With his third wife standing next to him, the twice-divorced, pro-abortion, former Mayor was given the Eucharist by a priest standing next to the Pope.

Outside the mass, actress Joanne Perry, said Giuliani was “notoriously pro-choice and I feel awful, just awful, about him getting Communion. He knows better.”

a priest standing next to the Pope -- wow, you expect the Pope to recognize every two-bit mayor?

Why not read the points above where your posts are extremely silly to not realize that the book of revelation refers only to itself not to the collection of books that is the bible

or, let's go back to bramps beautifully silly post 38 which says actually read the bible themselves rather than depend on flawed Catholic translations

to which I ask --> interesting - so do you read the original Aramaic, Hebrew and Koine Greek texts?

Or do you read in Shakespearean 17th century English or current Modern English?

You do know that the books of the Bible were not written in standard American in the 1st century, right?

or bramps' posts 34 which quotes Apocalypse saying if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy and then mistakenly thinks this is for the entire collection of books that is the Bible -- do you then read the book of Maccabees? Or is this taken away from the scroll?
