WE HAVE A POPE!!!
The truth always wins
Don't worry, not that thin skinned.
I was hoping to point out that Benedict is human. He wasn't a glorious Nazi-fighter, battling the forces of evil in a single bound. Nor was he the devil in the brown suit. He was a boy, a boy who became a priest and now a Pope.
People who argue either extreme are nuts. Okay that wasn't nice, but my mind is going.
"Please God, let it be Ratzinger....."
Well, are you happy? Hee hee this is a pretty exciting thread to review.
Yes he does, fortunately, he will not prevail, despite our foolish willingness to cooperate with him at times.
Aha! Trust the MSM not to mention that Blessed Titus had been a victim of Nazi experiments.
There is no such thing as a German anarchist,
Divorced is pushing it. Widowed, I guess I can see. Although there are many that are against lay deacons, so who knows.
Actually, he's right. But this isn't the thread to beat this horse to death again. We'll do that at a later time.
Do you know how this Pope gets along with President Bush?
Wow! You have a lot of clout today. Would you pray for my family too?
EWTN now replaying the whole ceremony.
Father Frank Pavone is forming an order. He has no constitution and the only thing done is the permission of the Diocese [Amarillo].
Excellent, thank you. Just like JPII liking him--tough crowd to please! Bodes well for the future.
If Perky Katie is deeply saddened, I am all for him.
As my pastor said this weekend, hopefully the new pope will be one that is committed to the Bible and to Christianity.
We will see.
What is EWTN that I see everybody talking about?
Probably the same ones who were in therapy after GW won again. Maybe they never got out of therapy? Poor souls. Life must be very sad for them.
What miserable lives they must lead. No set direction, no standard rules, no leaders with clear-cut resolutions to problems. They live a lifetime of demeaning others, finger-pointing, fault-finding, name-calling and frustrated whining. Yet, people who take the hard road, with all its rocks and burdens, where there are difficult rules, high hurdles to jump, and standards to reach that are never lowered, are the content, happy, moral, and decisive people. We have no need for continual therapy.
Wonder if they will ever see the benefits a disciplined life provides vs. the troubles those who live by the "induldge yourself" theory ? They are in a state of flux. Consertvatives are in the state of certainty.
Despite the MSM's hopes of bashing the new Pope with the Rottweiler reference, they again demonstrate their ignorance in doing so....
Just as "Rottweiler," is a marginally clever play on Ratzinger's name, the Dominican's were also referred to as, Domini Canis (GOD's Dogs) as a tribute to their fidelity and loyalty to GOD.
Though I'm a shepherd man myself, being compared with or referred to as a Rottweiler is not a bad thing...they are tenacious, strong, noble and faithful guardians of that which is placed under their protection. I for one hope that he IS a Rottweiler, and do not find the reference demeaning despite the msm's intentions....
