WE HAVE A POPE!!!
The new Pope can certainly address abortion.
"Abortion? It's a sin. Politicians who support it will be excommunicated. No exceptions. Next question?"

Pope John Paul II, from occupied Poland, didn't seem to find it a problem. Amazing that you do.
What did Jewish leaders do to oppose Hitler?
Uh, in the end, get the hell out of dodge. You think street protests would have worked?? And we are talking about different timescales here. Early on, the Church excused a lot of the anti-Jewish laws.
Thanks for the kind words about our new Pope. I predict the next couple of decades will see continued connections among orthodox Christians of all stripes. The liberals are weeping today!
LOL!
According to reports, this was the second shortest conclave since this process had been devised.
Then I just won't have to watch that way at all.
"Dear brothers and sisters, after the great Pope John Paul II, the cardinals have elected me — a simple, humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord."
"The fact that the Lord can work and act even with insufficient means consoles me, and above all I entrust myself to your prayers," the new pope said. "I entrust myself to your prayers."
The crowd responded by chanting "Benedict! Benedict!"

"That's from Revelations."
Did you mean "Revelation?" You know, it's hard to take your assessment of that book seriously if you don't even know its title.
Most of those idiots at DU are secularists anyway.
Well said.
Benedictines (Followers of Benedict) are know as "Olivetians". Series.
You said.......
In response to the nonsense about the Church "not doing enough" I would like to know what Jewish leaders did to oppose Hitler in Germany. I have never heard any discussion of very active Jewish opposition to Hitler until the Warsaw Ghetto uprising very late in the game. It is my understanding that Jews attempted to ride Hitler out and thought it would be futile to openly oppose the Nazis. No criticism there, Hitler was a maniacal mass murderer.
I totally agree with everything you said. Why do the Jewish people blame the Pope fr not doing enough when I never hear what the Jewish Head Rabbi of ROME did???
Are they mad? Too bad.
I don't know who's hosting EWTN, but he and the priest were actually laughing at the media and their immediate quest to paint our new Pope as a "hardliner."
Too funny.
Why do people like you come to threads like this? You obviously don't care one thing about the Catholic church, so one must assume that the ONLY reason you showed up here was to be an a$$hole.
You did your job, as you see it; only you made yourself look petty and spiteful.
And lots of people won't forget.
Maggie, thank you for that great picture.
Lousy ones.
My favorite quote so far was from Stephanopoulis. "You'll have to remember that this is an old man. He is 78, so this won't be a long papacy."
