The POPE is a hypocrite.

The POPE is, in my opinion, not a man of God anymore. If thats "bashing the POPE" - TOO BAD. We bash celebrities in here, we bash newscasters, we bash journalists, and leaders of free countries, I've heard name-calling that makes even ME blush, yet the POPE can not be critisized?

(Note, I've been "warned" to go easy on the POPE I was TOLD not to mis-spell his HOLY NAME or that is considered bashing.)

The POPE is no exception. He IS NOT holier than Tony Blair, he could not lick tony blairs shoes.

I say down with the POPE.

Sorry. My last post should have been to "All"

Down boy! Because the Pope opposed the war in Iraq (like the great majority of Europeans...soaked as they are in the very liberal, anti-American European media...) that makes him ungodly? Dead wrong yes, (imho) but hardly ungodly or hypocritical. The Pope, for the sake of hoped for repentence, will see all kinds of nasty brutal dictator types...(as did the Apostle Paul) that doesn't mean he blesses their evil, or forgives them of things they really aren't repentent of.

I'm NOT a Roman Catholic either, I just don't like to see unfair criticism. Religious leaders should avoid speaking directly to policy, unless absolutely necessary, as people tend to get very upset when they disagree on issues--which relative to eternal matters of God's kingdom, are not that important.
