I simply would've expected the Pope to follow the bible and kindly show Giuliani the door prior to receiving the Eucharist. Could I seriously ask you to explain why you think he did not do this? Or why Biden, Pelosi, Kerry, etc. are still in good standing with the Catholic church?

They are not in good standing. Why is Obama in good standing among equally absurd statement non-Catholics?

Firstly, does it say in the Bible that Giuliani should be shown the door prior to receiving the Eucharist?

Secondly, what's the use of him receiving the Eucharist after he's been shown the door?

Thirdly and to the point -- what makes you think the Pope even recognizes some mayor of some city far away? -- in a crowd at mass do you think the Pope knows who Guiliani is? Just another face in the crowd.

and you never answered my questions -- in your 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?

and you never answered my questions -- in your beautifully silly post 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?

and you never answered my questions -- in your beautifully silly post 34 it forgets that Revelation was among the last books to be added to canon? And did you know that most of the Early Christian communities rejected it? Even to today the book of Revelation is not read in the Orthodox Divine Liturgy. The Addition of the Book of Revelation/Apocalypse shows how the Church under the grace of the Holy Spirit pulled together the Canon that is the Bible today. Church in scripture rejected the Shepherd of Hermas even though it was accepted as scripture by many Early Christians and put in Apocalypse even after objections by many

Syrian Christians in the 2nd century rejected it, Martin Luther initially considered it to be "neither apostolic nor prophetic" and stated that "Christ is neither taught nor known in it," and is not known of in the ancient church of the Georgians.
