I have this acutely uncomfortable feeling that you are looking for ways to criticize me.
Which is not what this thread is about. If I should come as disoriented and confused, well that’s exactly how I feel. I think one can be a devout Catholic and be so confused by lies and hypocrisy coming from the most important guy in my religion and still feel some urge to walk away from it....even if temporarily.
But you found your wedge and got in a dig at me.
Sorry....the Pope’s words were awful.
Keep trying to clean up his mess. Make sure that attacking those who question as part of the defense.
However you respond, you will have the last word.
I am not happy with the Pope. I might add that this is not the first time he’s been misinterpreted. Every time there was a “translation error”.
Like Obama before him, you only get so many lies before people stop listening.
It’s helpful to pray in times of crisis especially spiritual crisis.
I’ll pray for you.
The perspectives that I shared were only prompted by your post #2 where you described yourself as 'demoralized' and 'not knowing what to do'. It appears that I misread that. I am sorry for that.
Merry Christmas
