The Pope needs to find a nice soft couch and have a rest.

What is it about getting old that makes cowards of us all.

Perhaps it relates to a better perspective of the pain and suffering involved in war?

I am 73, exMarine, and just as tough as I have always been. In fact more so than before.
I think getting old has nothing to do with it......its what you were like before you got old.
No disrespect for the Pope but I doubt he was very strong before he got old.
I agree, he needs to find a nice soft couch and let the rest of the world go by or, maybe work on the problems he has with his church.
Besides, whats the alternative, you either get old or you die....I'll take getting old.

New York Yankees bench coach
Don Zimmer is one tough senior with courage..

It's not every day that you watch a baseball game and see a fight break out between a 32-year-old pitcher and a 72-year-old bench coach.


Win or Lose we all need friendship.

The Bible is clear that there will be wars until the end of time. Peace will not come on earth until the Prince of Peace comes to earth. In fact, the Bible even teaches that wars and impending wars will increase in frequency and intensity just before Christ returns.

(Mat 24:6 KJV) And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. (Mat 24:7 KJV) For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. (Mat 24:8 KJV) All these are the beginning of sorrows.*

*The word sorrows is translated from the Greek word meaning "labor pains." Labor pains increase in frequency and intensity as the time of birth draws near.

Those who will control the last final attempt at "one world government" will be the ones who are allied with the Antichrist.
