Are you a priest or is your celibacy unintentional?

[xsmommy]

are they hoping that one of the leftwing cardinals can mount a challenge and have a run off?? LOLOLOL!

On this grotesque "Nazi" canard, see this from the Jerusalem Post -- not a journal noted for being soft on ex-Nazis.

I could've *sworn* I heard a chorus of Viking Kitties meowing a Gregorian chant...

Dies irae, dies illa!
solvet saeclum in favilla,
teste David cum Sybilla.

Quantus tremor est futurus,
quando judex est venturus,
cuncta stricte discussurus.

PETER THE ROMAN - This final Pope will likely be Satan, taking the form of a man named Peter who will gain a worldwide allegiance and adoration.

Mahoney??? Sorry, I just can't abide that man.

MSNBC reports that the Holy Father won by four votes!

That is bull... MSNBC is so low.. they think they know the votes. Wrong... The votes were burned and no one will ever know. No matter how hard they try they loose.


The vote was 3/4 plus 1 of all Cardinals voting. If 118 Cardinals.





What colossal nerve!
115 voted.
Impossible that he won by a mere 4 votes.

Dear Darkwolf,

The teaching of the Catholic Church is that Jesus founded the Catholic Church, and He founded it upon Simon Peter. He gave to Peter the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, the power to bind and loose, thus making Peter the "prime minister," so to speak, of Jesus' Church.

From this comes the title "Vicar of Christ," as a vicar is someone who governs in the place of another, the other being the actual ruler, and a prime minister governs in the place of, and under the authority of the King.

Hope that helps.

Could a Catholic answer a question for me? (I already know the non-Catholic answer so that's not required, thank you.) I told a friend that I thought Catholics believed that Jesus created the first Pope, and I was told Jesus did not create a religion or define a system for ruling one. Again, I know that's how non-Catholics believe, but what is the Catholic response to that?

See my post #1507 on this thread.

I guess I get the feeling that no one else (ok, very few) thinks like that! Lots want to bash everyone that has ever sinned--I feel sorry for everyone struggling with the Church's teachings. I don't think they are evil.

Ratzinger IS Jewish! How can he be a Jew hater if he is himself Jewish?

[gopwinsin04]

MSNBC didn't even mention it was 'four votes' over the 3/4ths margin needed to win! Which would be 90 some out of 140

[al baby]

they had some one read the smoke signals coming out of the stack?

How do you integrate the doctrine of global universalism (JPll)...

with the doctrine of traditional RC theology -that only RCC is true religion (Ratzinger) ??

This shall be interesting!
