Good point, I stand corrected. Be well and be safe.

For the record, Nancy Pelosi describes herself as a conservative, traditional Catholic.
How big of you to forgive the pope and who may I ask forgives you?
Unless you have some direct connection to the Lord it is not up to you to forgive someone else's sins that are not related to you.
I can forgive a debt that is owed to me by you.I can't forgive a debt that is owed by you to someone else.
In hindsite, it was wrong of me too even bring this up at this moment in time, disregaurd my initial post, and I do apologize for my lack of respect to the Pope and to all on FR.

Common decency would dictate to shut the blank up
until our Holy Father is buried. But they are totally lacking.

Barf, you had to tell me that before dinner? How could she?
Southern gentleman...
and our state produces the finest!
Thanks.
Easy.
She's a democrat. :)
Polls have shown the majority of American Catholics out of step with church doctrine on issues such as contraception, divorce, homosexual unions, married clergy, and women priests, even as they praised the pope's stance on Third World debt relief and opposition to the Iraq war.
At least they got this right..."the American Catholics are out of step with Church doctrine", not that Church doctrine out of touch with the American Ctholics, which is the way they usually posit it.
How quickly they applied label of "priest sex abuse" to bunch of homosexuals who creeped into the ranks of the church. I have not seen that outcry of "american sex abuse" by our lovely gay compatriots was attributed to America and President and demanding apologies.
When Jewish rabbi molested young boys you didn't hear echoes through MSM and lawsuits.
Not a problem, Muddy.
Well of course - you can't agree with everything someone says, that's hardly a flaw.
In the United States and Latin America, John Paul left a church with declining membership, short on clergy....
I don't know about the US, but the church is most certainly NOT in decline in Latin America - it's part of the Third World - it's on the rise in those parts of the World!
