If that were all he was arguing for, no Christian should have a problem with it.
But the pope has gone far beyond this "Christian spirit."
What is this global authority with the power of enforcement? Specifically.
A Christian Spirit with “teeth” no less from the guy that wrote something about having the Inquisition reinstated?
In what way, dear sister in Christ?
And if you will ponder that question, all to the good.
If not, then not.

Meanwhile, I find I do have a serious, alarming system problem at home.
I'm putting out a plea for help here, from systems-knowledgeable FReepers.
I have a behemoth of a Mac Pro. It has dual processors, and all the "bells and whistles" that are so desired by people who want to have maximal function from a personal computer at home. The operating system software is OSX version 10.4.11.
I have conducted hardware tests, and have found no problem on that score. I suspect — and so do other knowledgeable people I have asked — that the problem is software related.
The precise problem is: the Mac OSX operating system is not loading properly on start-up, or coming out of "sleep mode."
I don't know why. I have already replaced the motherboard on this machine, which is of 2007 vintage.
I am almost in despair over this situation. This machine s not only the basic tool of my professional life, it is my means of communicating with some of the most important personages of my life.
I am worried, almost in despair, about this malfunction situation. I've tried everything I can think of to correct it....
I hope somebody reading these lines might have insights into this problem. If not, I'll be forced to do the very thing I most dread: To take the system back to "primaeval factory settings," and start all over again from Square One.
With that horror in view, I have already done a complete back-up of my important personal files.
Meaning: I'll probably have to reinstall all the software I use, all over again.
If I disappear for a while, that's probably the reason.
But I'll hold off doing that for a while, in hopes there's a FReeper out there who's already been through this problem, and so is in a position to advise me.
Meanwhile, if I seem to have gone missing, that's probably the reason for it.
HELP!!!
